Whatsup guys, I just got my car the 23rd of the December it was a once in a lifetime deal I couldn’t miss but now that I’m here I neeed some advice and opinions. Any shops that are great and known for working on hellcats, also any advice on what I should do the the engine part of the car to help my performance a little or even typical maintenance I should be on top of. Any little advice is appreciated!
I’m in the NYC area I’m down for some car meets too. I will update with nicer pics soon. My son Luciano in the back

Welcome. Just drive it first. Dont mod just to mod. Not sure why people do that. It’s a well rounded package to start with. Get to know the car and see what YOU think it may need. To me it’s a better approach.

Buying a used hellcat is such a great deal, imo. For around 50K you can have a 9 second car. Pretty crazy. And you can drive it 900 miles in total comfort.

I've done most of the mods you can do for drag racing, but I race my car a lot. It's still street driven, however. Like Slowpoke said, just drive it and enjoy it first. When you are ready for those first mods, and know how you mostly use the car, then everyone on this site will give you guidance on where to go. Just depends on use and goals.

Have fun, and most importantly, be safe.

Well agreed on the thoughts of buying and yeah for now was thinking of just adding a diffuser and a spoiler attachment

Nice ride! Welcome. You may have a little bit left on your power train warranty depending on original purchase date, so choose mods wisely if the warranty matters to you! Have fun.
