yes because with it they dangle the price difference.

I'm guessing they point that guy right to the Challengers they have on the lot.

In general the flagship specialty cars of the typical sellers are usually not profitable for the manufacture but guessing they are with something as hot as the Challenger ones. Sometimes they even take heavy loss on them like the Lexus LFA.

BRC we need some pics when you get this beast.

Where will you be placing that Chiefs bumper sticker BRC?

He better not. And you should not do the same to damage the mustang.

ROFL

It was a mere joke. Bumper stickers are tacky on any ride. I'd never do that, especially on a car supposed to be cool. But the wife and I laugh when we do see it. Especially the crooked ones on nice cars. LMAO

yep, its a daily driver. Will be putting the miles on it. But, it will be treated with loving care.:rolleyes:

As of right now these mods/after market items are the ones I'm doing for sure.

Tint the windows
Color correct and seal the paint


Still considering
Floor mats if I get the Dodge floor mats
Badging the spoiler
Cat back exhaust if it doesn't have the low deep rumble

You either hate me or missed it, but what's your daily commute like?

Reminds me of the bumper sticker on a Prius when I lived in Denver. "I get 50 Miles Per Gallon, What are YOU Doing for to Save the Environment?" And yes that was all crammed on a single sticker and not surprisingly that car was parked at the REI.

Did you ask them where their battery goes when it dies?

I would say all of those mods wouldn't hurt the originality except I don't know what you mean by badging the spoiler. After market floor mats is something I do and store the stock originals for when it is time to sell.

Oh and I would keep the original exhaust too.

Or how bad the pollution was from the battery being created?

Sorry man, missed it.

95% highway. 50 miles round trip.

Either question would work, yes.

Another thing about mods on a newer car is even though you put money into buying them that the car was modded devalues it.

She's gonna get some work! Like it.

I'm not going to do this exactly. Thinking maybe Shaker.

Already reading about how to break an engine in properly. Going to be hard to see what it will do until 3000 miles.....

Ahh, I like it!

I'd just follow the manufacture guidelines vs. whatever the dealership says. 3k doesn't sound unreasonable for a performance engine like that. You might still be able to hit the throttle and just not rev up in the higher RPMs at full out.

Read the manual.

Many motors have been run and quality tested and don't need break in periods anymore. Some do.

My Hellcat, for example, had a relatively short break-in period, which is primarily for the drive train. The engine has a dyno run before it is ever put in the car. I will have to drive 55mph all the way from Overland Park back to Iowa when I pick it up. Gonna be so hard...

Yep, thats the plan. I'll just follow whatever the manual says. If its overly cautious, so what? I'll have plenty of time to see what she can do.

Didn't read through it but here ya go, a owners manual.

Any one on here use Ridetech suspensions?

I am considering using the level 2 coil over for my 69 Camaro...

http://www.ridetech.com/store/muscle...hash=V264.V328

Any thoughts?

Sure - but keep the stock parts and as long as you don't do too much modding to the internals of the engine, you can easily put it back to stock specs when / if you sell it. My car can go from 700+ RWHP, back to stock in a day.

So many beautiful fast cars. But lets change the scene just for a sec and talk about off-roading.

This is my baby girl. Spoiler because lots of pics.

They make great stuff.

If you haven't been there before, this is a great resource.

Very nice. Looks like fun.

I bought a set of old school supremes today lol. 13x7

This is my manual. The two sides to it:
1) The manual says so, BMW knows best, it helps with seals and setting mechanical parts.
2) The concept is outdated and precautionary (and maybe even CYA)...and you especially shouldn't sit at one extreme and baby it for 2000 miles and then run it hard.

And of course there's nothing really proving one or the other, just individual experience.... I'm not going beat it like a rental, but not going to really worry about it, either. Going from a 3 speed to 8 speed, 4500rpm seems like it would be hard to do for normal driving outside of maybe eco mode. :shrug:

I spent all day Sunday vinyl wrapping some trim pieces, plastidipping my wheels to black etc.

Vinyl is hard, but after 1 day of learning from scratch I am sure I can do a roof, other trim pieces, and smaller parts etc.

Grocery getters can look good too~

Those of you who work on cars need to be closer to me. Lewdog would pay decent money for someone who knows what the **** they are doing.

Hook a dude up man!

Sounds pretty good to me.
Turning up the volume is just going to draw more attention, some of it unwanted (poh poh).

Thanks, will check it out.

I don't have a good recent pic of mine but it still looks mostly like this, with a few more battle scars.

You need to linex that yellow and black... Would give it a fresh durable new look.

That’s close to a future plan.
I’m eventually going to have to do some body work, there’s rust bubbling out in various spots, so I want to do a complete body off.
B&W Truck Beds is just 15 miles from me and we’ve already measured my Jeeps tub to ensure it will fit in their powder coat booth. So when I do it I’m going to have them powder coat the exterior crinkle coat black then Line-X (Herculiner, Rhino Liner) the interior.

We sprayed my sons 08 ram with liner from www.sprayonbedliner.info...

Went desert tan and black.

I always heard Line-X was pretty much the best one to go with..for some reason I think there is someone on the board who works for Line-X or isconnected with them..I will try to figure that out and see if they can hook you up if you want..I think he posted in the thread about the guy who bought his son a 2015 Silverado

I ordered a new set of 20x10.5 & 20x9 wheels with 315/35 & 275/40 Nitto Invos. They should be here in a few weeks. Hopefully I got the offset etc correct.

Battle scars, trail tattoos, adventure tax, its all in the name of the game.

Nice rig though, glad to see there are other Jeeps on the Planet.

so the dudes from fast and loud tore apart a 2015 scat pack on the last episode.


tons of people cant get one and they give this rich ****er a pre production car to do whatever he wants with for 3 weeks.

it isnt gonna have a drive train when they get it back

Nice man. Looks clean.

Is that the guy who is ripping the engine out and putting it in a real 1971 challenger?

Yep

It's all about advertising, and it's a pre production car and would have been crushed anyway.

People are upset. I'm starting to get a handle on the car love. The sinkhole that destroyed some old vettes for example. Most are never going to visit the vette museum. Not many were even aware of what was in the museum or that it even existed. But, once they heard, they were upset. Tbe car geeks feel they lost something tangible.

Even though they know that car was going to be destroyed at some point anyway by Dodge, to have it destroyed earlier than planned by some guy who doesn't really care about the car, roasts some car geeks tires the wrong way. To be honest, kind of irked me too.

Even if its not your car or you have never or will never own one, people feel protective of the classic old cars. And of the new specialized ones being built today. You have many comments in this thread alone to leave the mods off, don't **** with my new car. Same on the car boards.


The education of myself continues to evolve my thinking. I will have to be really unhappy with the exhaust to mod the car that much.

I need some help with a vanity plate. Car ordered is the 392 Hemi 6.4L SCAT Pack Shaker.

I use your idea, $50 to the charity of your choice.

Criteria:
No more than 7 letters/numbers/spaces can be used in Florida
Something funny/witty/cool etc.

Best so far is...........

I would like to get the MO Chiefs plate with 65-TPT but I bet they are taken already.

Oh, yeah. Scratch that one!

I'd suggest against a license plate that refers to speed or racing or smoking tires, etc., unless you are UTTERLY committed to never driving a foot per hour over the speed limit.

Not a lot of warnings when your muscle car's license says SPEDEMN

All variations are taken

It's not the cops you need to worry about with tags like that. It's getting curb stomped by faster cars.

Really? How much does the government charge you for that?

I'm not racing against other cars.

Wheres my car detailing contact?:harumph:

Ah my bad, will get it to ya tomorrow.

I'm likely just no fun since I don't particularly care for vanity plates either. Likely since most of the time I notice them they range from a little to very douchey but doesn't mean they are all necessarily bad. Maybe if you are a proctologist with ASSMAN plates. "Million to one shot, doc."

My Hellcat is stuck at the Voltz railyard. Hopefully it will get to the dealer next week. Driving me nuts.

Ugh, rail dust, good luck.

Car covers are out for me. Heard way too many negative reviews on them causing more damage than they protected.

I have a sprinkler system that will go off on my car and possible bird shit from the big trees in my yard to deal with. Got to do something.

I'm in Florida so flimsy tents will just get blown down onto my car. Any advice?

Yes, I have a two car garage but I'm planning on putting a nice pool table set up out there in the space.

Enjoy hard water spots from your sprinkler. Shit from the birds and a plethora o shit from the tree. Use your garage.
