Another Hellcat on the Forum

[Stangman701]

My wife and I had our first kid about a month ago so I decided it was time for a family car . Been looking for the right car for a while now and actually had a deal worked out on a Go Mango orange car, but a deal came up on this car that was too good to refuse. I wasted no time spending the money I saved on mods. Bought a staggered set 392 Daytona replica wheels with 285/35/20 on the front and 305/35/20 555R on the back. Also installed cat delete pipes, 1 piece drive shaft, and diff brace. Planning on a pulley and tune, but likely going to wait till spring.

Really like it so far. Picked it up in Hagerstown, MD, so had a nice highway trip back. Nice and comfy and even managed to get over 24 MPG on the way back over all the mountains.

My girlfriend has been wanting a new car. Wants something with more power than her current Subaru. Maybe I should try to convince her to get a hellcat

[Stangman701]

This is definitely way better than my Subaru!

Nice!

Sweet ride Ray!

Nice! Is it going to be used as a daily driver?

Nice! 24mpg is ridiculous for something that size and power.

These are badass rides, and they sound great.

Good buy! Congrats. I see your shelby. Been telling myself nooo.

Thanks Cam! We'll have to line up the cats someday.

Not really. I'll probably drive it year round, but only on days where it's not raining or snowing, so you know, like 10 days here in Pittsburgh, lol. The stock wheels do have all season tires on them so I'll probably put those on if I need to take a road trip for work during the winter in case I get caught in some snow.

Haha, yeah I was definitely surprised. The guy I bought it from said he got 26 on a trip to Toronto. I thought he was full of shit till I got almost 25 coming across all those mountains on 68. Now this if from the onboard computer and not manually calculated, so take it with a grain of salt. Still, I doubt it's too far off.

Hard to believe they're making cars that sound this good stock. My old terminator sounded like a damn Lincoln with the stock exhaust. I'm pretty sure it was quieter than this car when I had the stock h-pipe and two chamber flowmaster catback on it. I guess it's because they can put valves in the exhaust now

Good buy! Congrats. I see your shelby. Been telling myself nooo.

Haha, it's probably sold. Been dealing with a guy from California for over two months now. He's sent me over $10K in deposit, but keeps coming up with excuses as to why he can't come get it yet. He agreed to pay my full asking price though so I don't mind giving him some lead way, but it is definitely in the way at this point

It is awesome that we live in a time when 707 horsepower isn't enough. We have issues.

For me it's the fact that it's so easy to get. Makes it too hard not to do when you can get another 100+ HP with just a pulley and a tune. It's definitely quite fast as-is

Nice car! Congrats

Thanks John, I thought you'd like that part!

Damn, you guys have been/will be very busy! Congrats on your upcoming addition! And yes, SRT Durango would be my suggestion!

Congrats on #4. We stopped at 2 only because we are exhausted with the 2!

Got my 18" drag radials mounted up this week. Been having a little fun with the new found traction. On these warm days I can roll into 1st and full traction in 2nd. That will be short lived though once I get all the other parts I've been stockpiling over the winter put on
