The Details:

- 2019 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye Widebody
- Roughly 3,353 Redeye Widebodies made that year (globally). I believe 141 were Go-Mango Orange. Its my favorite color although there are some other that are great like Sublime, Plum Crazy, and B5 blue.
- 4,020 miles on the odometer
- Original tires with good life and no rubber attached to the fender or underneath, so I'm optimistic.

What else would you like to know?

Thanks for sharing that. I like the price and that its a simple solution, but how well does it stack up compared to OEM Brembo.

Also, i hardly go through regular rotors. What makes you all think ill need to with the Brembos?
Both the brembos and Those will be plenty fine unless your driving the ever living piss out of it.

All the Redeyes were auto right?

Is there anything that can be done to prevent the HEMI tick?

717hp Hellcats could be had in Manual but not the 797 HP Redeyes. All 8 speed autos.

Info on Hemi Tic: While the term "Hemi tick" is often associated with Chrysler's Hemi engines, including those in Hellcats, it's a bit of a misnomer in the context of the Hellcat engine. The "Hemi tick" typically refers to a ticking sound caused by the MDS (Multi-Displacement System) found in some Hemi engines, which is not present in Hellcats.

Yes, although there is some white stitching and machined metal accents. I'm glad i didn't get the Alcantara seats. When you get the ventilated seats package you also get perforated seats. Ill take that as a win.

I don't know why but the more i look at this car the more like it. Maybe its my muscle car upbringing, but it checks off all the big boxes.

I honestly have mixed emotions on them. They are cool. But not for me. I'd much rather go the GM route. I love a nice car no matter the brand, but always been more of a GM guy over Dodge/Mopar. That said, I love me a good muscle car. I am still in the market for one eventually, but going to go that classic route.

I bet you that is fun as hell to drive and I hope you enjoy it.

I wanted the same thing Aaron. I couldn’t get the wife to bite, not for me when I got something different.

How reliable are these hellcats? I’ve never looked into them at all.
