Hi everyone,

New to Mopar community but fan of muscle cars I ride a 2018 Charger SRT 392 and love that car.
As my SRT is the little sis of the HC, I've read and learn a lot form this forum.

So here I am.

Thank you all for sharing your knowledge and experiences.

Take care.

Hello @frdrc13 Welcome!
I'm Happy for you that you have found Hellcat.org and have enjoyed al the Knowledge and experience posted up by members!

There are other members who are on here from France. Maybe there is a Mopar or muscle car club you belong to?

I have visited one over in the UK, and a couple of members too! I was amazed how the American muscle car travels across the sea to many different Countries.
I have online friends from all over the World!

Hey, un francophone ?
Il y a maintenant 25 ans j'ai passé 3 mois juste en face à Muskegon pour un stage chez Sealed Power pendant mon MBA.
Sealed Power fabriquait à l'apoque les pistons et les segments pour.....devinez quoi : la Dodge Viper RT 10 !
Je suis passé par Racine lors de mon "pélerinage" vers la première usine Harley Davidson à Milwaukee (personne n'est parfait je roule aussi en 2008 Nightster et en 2019 Triumph Speed Twin).
J'ai passé 3 supers mois aux US.

Thanx.
Yes hopefuly muscle cars can swim ! But it's not a simple journey to import such a car and homologate it in France by yourself. I'm not complaining, it's a good experience and the car worths it.

No, I just remember a few phrases. Racine's Sister City is Monte'limar. About 5-6? years ago, a group of officials were going to come over during Bastille Day, but the trip fell through. So we took a crash course in French.

Welcome to the Forum... Post up some pictures of your ride if you get a chance!

Yes, I've been told the stories from many how it is not easy to import cars from here to there. They have their ways and knowing the right people and ways helps. I would think you must live in the Country side of France to be able to really enjoy the ride?

Alright. So I translate my previous answer :
Twenty five years ago I spent 3 months just on the other side of the lake in Muskegon for an internship at Sealed Power during my MBA. Sealed Power was manufacturing at the time pistons and rings for... guess what: the Dodge Viper RT 10!
I passed by Racine on my "pilgrimage" to the first Harley Davidson factory in Milwaukee (nobody's perfect I also ride a 2008 Nightster and a 2019 Triumph Speed Twin). I spent 3 great months in the US.

Yes. I have not that kind of connections but I'd like to do things on my own if I can.
Not quite the country side but almost. I'm 25 kms (16 miles) from Paris.

 

[Linda's Hell Cat]

Very Nice.
I had the great pleasure to also visit France too. Of course Paris. I would wonder how it would be to drive in the city with your car. I dont think it would be easy.

Welcome! Paris might be a challenge with a Hellcat, but there's some excellent smaller roads, especially around Grenoble and the French Alps.

I started my carreer as a bus driver in Paris, so it's ok with the SRT
Agree about the French Alps. There's a lot scenic roads in France like the lovely back country side of Nice but sometimes you have to pull over, two vehicules can't pass together.

Indeed! And if one of those vehicles is a Challenger Widebody?....YIKES!

That's fine too. If a bus can get through it's easy peasy for a WB
But I understand. When I arrived in the US the first thing that struck me most is that everything is big, large, huge. Even a small town like Muskegon (comparable in population to place where I was born) has large streets, larger than what we can have here. Towns are wider so streets follow.

Been to Texas yet?????????? 😁

I'd love to but not yet. Been to Cali (LA), Illinois (Chicago), Michigan (Gran Rapids, Detroit, Kalamazoo + all around the lake and both sides of it - dunno if that's correct english) and Canada to (a little trip from Muskegon to Niagara Falls).
Just appetizers 😂

 

[frdrc392]

Hey,
Took me some time, apologies.
So here is some pics.
Take care.

 

[Linda's Hell Cat]

@frdrc392 Thanks for the pictures! Beautiful!

How's all the driving going? Since you were a bus driver and know the routs did you parade your 392 through Paris yet?
