2017 Challenger Hellcat

Hello everyone I am new to this forum and looking to expand my knowledge on these wonderful cars. My wife and some would say I have an addiction to cars but they bring me joy and peace. There have been many many cars in the past starting with 5.0’s in the 90’s to GN’s and Typhons and C5’s and AMG’s BMW’s and recent 5.0’s.

Currently the wife and I own a 2017 black A8 Challenger Hellcat which is her Daily. That has minor mods such as H&R lowering springs some exhaust mods 10.5 in the rear with 305’s and some other odds and ends but she wanted to keep it basic and livable as it’s her ride and and her every day car.

The 21’ Explorer ST suffered 17k worth of damage from hurricane Ian fairly new so it too got some some mods such as a Two tone paint job, H&R Lowering Springs, Steeda front and rear sway bars, strut bar, 22x10.5 all around.

My 2017 Hellcat has is equipped with a 2650 Magnuson supercharger, 1300cc ID injectors, a fuel system , mishimoto 180 thermostat, ATI dual crank pin kit, castles mids, exhaust, diff brace, DSS Drive Shaft, blower spacers, thermal blanket, 2.8 pulley if I remember correctly and a 10% lower if I remember correct. Not sure on that. Put down 911whp on E85.

Thanks for the warm welcome lol 😂 but. No far from rich or high net worth. Just I was childless and were empty nesters. Trust me the struggle is real the wife has put the brakes on new toys lol. Fortunately for me she doesn’t venture out in the garage very often to stumble across any new boxes 😇.

Don’t let @1971demon yank your chain. He’s the East Coast donut tycoon. He’s got two Demons (one’s a 170) another Hellcat, and a shit load of trucks and motorcycles. Welcome to the forum.

LOL like I said I’m definitely on the other spectrum closer to the poors. But browsing around there looks to be a wealth of information here. I plan on deep diving and hope to contribute meaningfully to the forum.

First glance I thought your license plate said "SAUSAGE". I was like well if it isn't Jimmy Dean joining the party now haha. Then I took another look.

Welcome! The destroyer gray '17 Hellcats trump all others;)

Hey Linda glad to see you here I’m familiar with you from somewhere else. But I do not have any track times YET as since I’ve bought the car I’ve been sorting it and busy with life and trying to get my house together still from Ian. And after its last tuning session found that it had a leaking intercooler brick. So as I’m knee deep in renovations right now it’s parked for a few weeks. But it will get a new brick after that and I have some new repro 20x11’s waiting for some drag radials and Bradenton is a little over an hour away from me. I really don’t have allot of track experience so it will be a learning curve for me. Most of my fun came in the street back in the day. So the track will be a whole new experience for me. But I’m excited to learn.

I love the wheels on your Explorer. I think the tires and wheels Ford uses stock make the Explorer look a little cartoonish, but you have fixed that for sure!

For being 40, I am embarrassed by how many cars I have owned, some were super exciting and some were incredibly lame. I'm grateful to be driving a 24 DD SRT, that I've only had for 14 days, haha.
