Back in 2015 when I got the GTI, I was heavily considering a Scat Pack. The lease deals were damn near the same. Kinda wish I did, just to get it out of my system.
I liked both sets of wheels, but I think the new set makes the car look a bit more updated.
Can't go wrong with either designs ...
Nice work!
I agree, I also think the new wheels give the car a more updated modern look, whereas the old wheels give it a more muscle car look.. I like both sets and would probably keep both for when I would want to change it up..
I do love that color combo. And the price is very low compared to other SPs. I'm not sold on the 6.4 though. I've read too many stories about them eating lifters and not being as robust as the 5.7s. That's one of the reasons I've kept mine and am not that swayed but SPs. I could throw a Magnuson SC on my 5.7 and eat up SPs all day long, but I just never find myself in races any more and I only go to the track like once a year, so the $10k investment isn't worth it. My 400ish HP is plenty fun on the street.

Yep I installed it last year. I really like it. Just have an extremely light vibration after the install but I think a new center carrier bearing should take care of that.

I was just poking cause you had it so long before installing it
Glad you like it and hopefully you can easily resolve your vibration issue.
Demon or nothing.
What's up, man? How have you been?
The Demon is just so epic. If I had the loot, it would be in the garage. But all is good. Getting ready for a road trip to Kansas next week. It's been so long since I've had a solo road trip, it'll be a lot of fun and a part of the country I'd probably never see otherwise.

Usually I can't wait more than a day to get a mod on, but I knew it was going to be a giant PITA install so I kept putting it off. It sat over a year in my garage taunting me every time I walked past it lol. I know it's not even close to CTS-V quick, but I was able to pull off a 4.90 0 to 60 a few weeks ago, so I'm pretty happy with that.
Good to hear, T. The Centric drilled rotors I currently have on have never lived up to what I hoped they'd be. This should be a nice improvement. And it's time to flush the bake fluid too, so that alone will help with pedal feel.
Brake upgrades are definitely one of the biggest updates that you feel right away. Hope those live up to the hype for you never fun having brakes you don't trust in.

I am sure it was a PITA to install so understand waiting. Definitely not something I would have wanted to undertake. Anything under 5 is quick for the regular streets really.

Yeah I think brakes are way too often overlooked. The brakes I have now aren't terrible by any means. They're upgraded with the police package larger rear rotors, so they worked better than stock when I put them on, but there's definitely room for improvement for brake feel.

It was a giant PITA especially since I was doing it solo with no one to help steady a 60lb center diff. And getting the axles back in without damaging the axle flanges battled me for way longer than it should have, but I agree it's plenty quick although as you know the need for speed is never truly satisfied.

It was officially May 22nd, but I have been ghosting AZine lately. I took Sapphire on a 1,200 + mile round trip road trip a few weeks ago from TN to KS and happened to stumble upon this old, deserted Dodge Service Center so naturally I had to snap a photo. Other than the A/C not performing to it's full potential (I just recharged it and it's fine now) and throwing a random low tire pressure light at me for no reason, she performed well. The 3.23 gears gave a pretty noticeable decrease in gas mileage for the trip, just barely getting over 20 MPG. She used to give me at least 22-23 MPG on a long trip like that, but when you want to live one 1/4 mile at a time these are the sacrifices you must make. For a 10 year old car and having over 100k on the clock, I think she still looks pretty freeg'n good and I still enjoy giving the old girl the gas pedal hammer down every once in a while.
That is a pretty, pretty, Charger. The colour, wheels, and shiny new rotors do a good job of keeping it looking modern. Congrats on 6 years! That's longer than I can remember you owning your other vehicles
