We need a few more opinions from completely unqualified "experts" to make this thread complete.

Lets keep this going.

I put a normal timing belt and a Kevlar timing belt in front of my friend's kitten and it immediately started playing with the Kevlar belt. Conclusive scientific proof!

Its more cost effective to put a v8 in your kevlar belt than to try and turbo it.

I put an auto tensioner, an old belt and a kevlar belt in front of my gay kitten.
He pooped on the auto-tensioner, threw the old belt in the dumper and had sex with the kevlar belt...twice.

It took 9 pages to get to this level?? C'mon guys, you're lagging here....

Bottom line is if you want to fork out for the Kevlar belt do it. It's not expensive if it is even 5% stronger than stock. Conversely, if you want to keep using stock and check and replace regularly I'm sure it will be just fine too.

There, now can we all get some sleep.....

Im considering reupholstering my seats in kevlar. For that little edge. You never know... The look will also be spot on 80s. (if porsche knew kevlar, they would never use multicolor burgundy over kevlar in turbo S cars)

Oh what the hell...

I'm going to put kevlar dust in my motor as opposed to oil. Just can't stand those ZDDP threads anymore!!
