The car is OEM. I’m not unlocking it. I’ve removed all the after market products I purchased since August. We have covered it and will pursue a buyer next week.
Ok, sorry to hear about this, sell it and (hopefully) buy another kick ass car

No, you are not out of fight, you got this, one day/one step at a time, dig deep, if I can help let me know, I am sure the Community feels the same. I will PM you, lets see what FCA can do for you, I can be a nasty bitch.

If you can take data log your Redeye doing some wide open throttle we can compare it to my car. Hpindy data logged my car which is stock at the track. I can get him to compare the logs maybe he or cole can find out what the hell is going on with your car. Don’t sell it just yet it may be something minor.

I put the zautomotive bypass harness in marks trunk . It's pretty easy . If you don't have the bypass harness I'm sure someone would lend you one . Then I put the laptop in the trunk and logged the car . It's pretty easy to do . Then you save the log and email it to who ever you want . On a side note I used a sprint booster on my 2018 hellcat before I tuned it and I was really happy with it . Worse case scenario see if any one can loan you one of them for testing purposes.

Oh really . Hmm I wonder what's up with your vessel? It worked on my 2018 and the software is the same for 2018-2019 . Has the dealer reflashed the ECU?

Nope, it had one update associated with the heating/cooling system. Are you talking Redeye? The Redeye is a different animal from the base Hellcat.

2019 Redeye Widebody (sold)

All,

After 1k miles I am throughly disappointed in the serious lack of throttle response in my 2019 Redeye Challenger. I mean it is really a dog. So much that I do not enjoy driving the car and have even considered selling it.

Any thoughts on a fix would be greatly appreciated.
I agree with you. Get the Pedal Commander and you will have a big smile on your face! Worked for my Redeye!!!

Thanks. I’m hating it too. When these cars came back in 2008 I jumped on one and got #904. In 2014 I jumped and got Hellcat #834. I was going to wait on a Redeye Challenger but I heard Plum Crazy was going away and had to have one. Now I’m regretting buying a lot car. I’ve always order my cars in the past.

I’m about ready to cut my losses on this one.
My Redeye seems very sluggish also compared to my tuned 2016 hellcat in eco mode which should be the same.

No the software is the same . The calibration has has a few differences between the lowly (2018 and up)707 VS the 797 . And even fewer differences from the demon calibration. I have all the ecu files and compared them extensively. It is possible your ecu was corrupted a bit . I would get the update and see if it makes a difference.

Sport and default.
