but is it the hellcat redeye demon final call jailbreak last call we really really mean it this time last call edition?

edit: forgot jailbreak

No, just regular Hellcat, no widebody either. Although he appears to have an upgraded pulley and some stickers to make it seems like some other go fast parts. He does have some nice drag radials though.

Got to talk to this owner of this 66 Coronet. Had a nice 440 in it with some meats out back. Said it was a low 11 second car, and I'm likely to believe that. I like the nostalgic center headlight delete.

4,705 Miles and I decided to perform the first engine oil service. I was told when i bought the car that it had been serviced, but I didn't trust it. Good thing i checked because the oil was a DARK brown and the bolts underneath didnt show signs of being touched, but I could be wrong.

This this has no ground clearance, so up we go. My 8 year old led up up the blocks. He did a great job.





Great...belly pans. :/





Neat little easter egg.



Interestingly enough SRT has their special formulated oil. It has a lot of additives designed especially for heavy abuse for a pushrod motor.



Added my trusty aluminum maintenance sticker. Pen will wear off but the aluminum has memory.



Now i get to rest knowing my oil change was properly done and I don't have to worry about premature wear or failure.

perfect application for an oil extractor

What about the oil filter?

I tried one of those extractors and didn't like it. Couldn't get all the oil and took forever to drain.

Yeah you still have to deal with the filter unless you go remote. The first couple times I used my extractor with the gti I pulled the plug after and nothing came out.

If i had a truck i might consider the remote option, but not on the car. How long does it take for you to fully evacuate your oil. When i did it, it felt like forever, plus i had to deal with my compressor kicking on and off. That was enough for me. lol.

i havent used it since getting the compressor, but it took about 10 minutes or so to siphon then i used the hand pump a bit more to make sure it was all out. I just did other stuff while waiting. Now that i have a big compressor i think itll be different, but ive yet to use it since getting the big compressor so we will see

Yea, my ADD struggled with waiting and all the noise. I bet if you ran the vehicle for a couple minutes to get it warm it would help expedite the process.

unless you have flat tappets ZDDP is really not that big of a deal anymore. old school flat tappet shit and DAMB OHC stuff is where it matters.

Lake Speed Jr has shown this on more than one occasion

Great. More for me.

2019 model Hellcats didn't get a spoiler decal. Only some of the newest years did. I don't want to get a big chrome decal, but I kind of want to bridge the gap. What are your thoughts on this subtle sticker? I'm thinking "reflective light black".

But they're both loaded up to the gills on that sweet, sweet marketing bullshit.

Pulled the trigger on the stickers. I wanted a "low key" look.

Application and getting oriented.



Took a while to get straight.









Also doesnt shine in all light. Which is what i prefer.

I like it!
