I can't believe dodge put 20 by 9.5 on the hellcat. They really skimp on them rubber since that car is going to be hovering above the Zl1 and GT500 (talk about tires). the SRT 300 came with 245s and its like rolling on bicycle tires.

Im OCD aswell. My Cyber grey SS showed everything, it got old real fast. especially in Los Angles where you can park 100 feet away from everybody at the supermarket and you come out and some guy decided that that spot to the right of you looked the best.

Anyways, Vmax ported TB still the way to go?
Gunna give it a good thousand miles + before I do anything to it, make sure it doen't blow up with my luck.

Lol wow bad luck that sucks. Motors are pretty much broken in these days. Drive it like you stole it. I'd tune it smaller pulley and Cai.

das coming, not driving it a 1000 miles to break it in since the rings seat themselves after about 100 miles. Just so i know that there is not a grey cloud over me, ya know? Pulley and tune will get done after CAI and TB. Going to call D3 in long beach and see what they can do.

That's weird, I've never had any of those problems with my SRT's, especially the front end being misaligned. It's almost impossible to screw up the alignment on the Charger/300/Challenger/Magnum. They have fully adjustable independent suspension which is shared with the Mercedes E and S Class platforms. While the Jeep and Durango share their platforms with the Mercedes ML and GL platforms and are fully adjustable as well. All 2012+ vehicles feature magnetic ride control made by bilstein.

Ahh not the suspension, I actually like the ads though default is way to soft. My front bumper hood fenders were all misaligned. The front bumper droops about 1 inch under the headlights. Performance wise I've had no problems mechanically for the most part. All external interior. It's legitimately falling apart. I'll post some pictures when I get home.

Did you buy this car used? Lol... I've never heard of this problem, then again nobody has heard of my Camaro's problems either but hey there's always that one bad seed in any family.

It had 18 miles on the odometer when bought. The guys at srt were awesome but even he told me after a while that this was very out of the ordinary. It's just my luck I get the bad egg.

Why don't they just replace the front bumper with a new one. What's making it hang so low.

Your guess is as good as mine buddy. I had the lip underneath the headlight fall out as well. For no reason. The bodywork was half of the issue aswell. The nav had a relay that was busted the sunroof became unhinged and the clicking from the sunroof continued to persist through everything.

The way chrysler handled it was admirable. They were very hard to get ahold of but never tried to shaft me. They didn't give me the ultimatum lemon talk. "We will refund you if you get into another dodge jeep or ram". And she got back to me in a few days about wether chrysler agreed.

Yeah they're usually very good about it. Especially with SRTs.

Taking care of the paint in any color takes time and effort but black will just show every little flaw and detail and is extremely high maintenance. I'm a bit OCD about my car so take that into consideration too

I like to think it was seeing my SW around ashburn/leesburg that made you switch :P

I have a black on black 14 model recars. Nav. Fully loaded. I would get white if I was you. I'm very anal about keeping my stuff clean. And black is terrible at being dirty.. but look how good they are clean. Here's a pic of mine. I love black cars especially sport cars. But white would be great choice

I got black only because I plan on wrapping it. Same thing I did with my C6. That way the door jams and any body seams don't look out of place when you wrap it.
