When you go to party and people say say what you drive, and you say HELLCAT, what’s the reaction?

its such a cool car Car with a cool name
Party? I've got three kids man (and obviously a midlife crisis), my parties happen in my sleep. Just kidding, my social life isn't THAT sad, but I haven't been around too many people since I picked it up.

I try not to be too proud of it, but I obviously can't help it on the forums and texting a few of my friends about it.

Went to Taco Bell Tuesday night after working until 10:45 pm and had three grown employees all up in the drive through window asking about it. One guy, "is that a mustang?" Other guy, "Fuck no, dude! That's a fucking hellcat!" Lonesome female getting battered between the two guys "OMG, I love your car!"

Edit: Forgot that on Sunday morning I had a police car pull a U-turn and come up beside me at the stoplight. They motioned me to roll down my window and when I did they asked if I wanted to race. My response, "No thanks, I wasn't born yesterday". They LOL'd, the light turned green and they left quickly. I turned.

I've never been to LA, but would like to drive some of the roads out there.

I agree that the BRP is amazing in the fall! I used to take my camera equipment up with me every year, but now I just enjoy the drive and sightseeing.

I think they both have their charm...
blue ridge is very scenic and beautiful in the trees...
Cali has the longer sweeping curves and more of a desert feel.
I drove both in the last 6 months.

Funny enough, I accidentally happened upon the Tale of the Dragon with my GF and 3 kids in a minivan...I've been talking about doing that 318 curves in the S2000 or V or TL for YEARS now.
What a joke...she's like, whoah, isn't this what you're always talking about? So we stopped for a shirt and her kid counted the turns the entire way. I gave the dragon a run for it's money in a fuckin minivan though

even got picked up by killboy doing the shocker out the windshield.

and no, I think it's smart that you're not going 160 down the road. If I didn't have US27 as my daily commute...
well...

enjoy it for a while and see if you really need that.
I'm still tempted by electronic cutouts...but that's because the Caddy is very quiet inside.
I heard an LS something or other down the block the other day and my gf was like, "hey babe, that sounds like your car!"

I turned on my old neighbor's hellcat and man, that thing rumbles inside the cab as is. I don't think I'd cut my stock exhaust up to make it more obnoxious than that.

That's what I'm thinking. It's already extremely loud at cold start and when you get on it. There's definitely no messing around in it without everyone in the immediate vicinity knowing about it.

Probably, if I have a tail wind though, I've seen the V spike to over 20 psi for a brief moment.

Going to be taking it in today or tomorrow to get the supercharger checked out. Getting some slight metal on metal noise that's likely related to an issue with the bearings being out of spec. They've fixed the problem on the superchargers, but it requires a full supercharger replacement, not just the bearings.

Hmmm...Eaton? Same as V?
Cadillac changes them without question until 120K, I think...due to the isolator shaft balls gag thingy. That's the technical term for it.

IHI supercharger. They have a new part number supercharger out with updated bearings, so that's good. We'll see if there is something going on or if I'm just being paranoid.

that sounds like someone that is scared of his wife.
now go do it.
if you're scared, she'll lose respect.
she'll start sleeping with the pool guy.
pool guys drives an 05 corolla S but DOES post videos of himself hooning all over town.
pool guy gets respect and the ladies.
