Yes, but I’m pretty sure hellcat engines have lifter issues too. Hoovies hellcat had it. But his was beat to shit too so…
Wasn't his a 1st gen 2015/16? Although not terrible those are the ones to stay away from.
Oh probably true! I tried to convince my wife for a bit to get the hellcat Durango. She wouldn’t go for it :lol:
I thought of that too as it would have made more sense as a family. I think those are 707 hp, but still plenty fast.

Looks like Alpha Romeo control module. Pretty sure I can mark myself safe from that guy.

Car got its first bath this weekend. Lots of scrubbing and cleaning. Wasn't that bad, but the wheels were starting to accumulate that sticky metallic dust.

Engine bay was loaded full of a greasy tire shine like spray. Degreased that and dried everything off. The supercharger acts like a small scale catch basin. That took some extra cleaning as well.

All clean. :)

Funny you mention that. If i water that grass heavily then most of the cars will get stuck and chew up the grass. Cappuccino and Mighty Max being some of the biggest offenders.

Maybe its my own personal green initiative. Rater see my lawn get healthier than see water go down the storm drain.

Yup first week I brought the avalanche home I almost got stuck in grass in 4wd. I was blown away. But mud and grass don’t care and will make anyone look dumb.

Yea, that would only be worse on any sort of incline.

I'm starting to appreciate the attention to detail. All of the Hellcat Redeye logos are a nice touch and they even dot all the little eyes with red coloring.

Been contemplating some minor upgrades. I've always like the matte black hoods from the 70's on Mopars. What do you think?

Ehh. Not sold on it. Might look good if you do the roof and trunk lid though.

They didnt typically do the full roof and rear decklid in the 70s'. It looked like this:

However the addition of the TA stripes would look really good IMO.

Agree. I don't like the fake carbon. Not really a fan of the real stuff either anymore.

I was never a huge fan of CF showing. Back when I was looking at CF hoods I was always planning on getting it painted which is why I never got one lol.
