Hi everyone, I’ve been a hellcat fan since the challenger came out in 15, but since it was a brand new car I waited to make sure they weren’t going to have big problems with all the power, as well as closely watching this community of enthusiasts pioneer all the modifications I can now put on my car right away knowing you all have tested this stuff to find out what is bulletproof and what just isn’t, what worked to really take advantage of every horse this motor is capable of, and what was not the way, so as a guy looking to get my cat up to a thousand whp then change out for a clone billet block and keep on climbing, see what a 1600-2000whp hellcat feels like, so I first want to thank you all, without all the members of this forum that got these cars 3 years ago and immediately went to work finding ways to take them higher and higher, without all of your hard work and drive to make better faster cars, guys like me that don’t have the time to do it myself would be stuck at stock, and I love horsepower, bigger the better, so again I thank you all for breaking the path the rest of us can follow. Love the forum, look forward to contributing as much as I can while I learn from all of you, look forward to getting to know you all, seem like one incredible group of True car enthusiasts, also look forward to documenting the modification of my hellcat start to finish. Every day is now a fun ride lol, but this will be one too! New 555R 305’s arrive tmrw and go on Saturday, will post pics when it’s done. She’s a week old tmrw, what better present to give her than proper tires, for the road at least lol, got her with 12 miles, and at the first week mark I am at 495 miles, with one road trip right after purchase that was about 225 round trip. This car was bought to be driven, she will not be a garage queen, I will daily her just like every car I buy, I buy them to drive them, mod them, and keep them, not to worry about mileage and resale values, my guess is at least one oil change before the first month mark, love to drive this car!!

Thank you for the welcome guys, and thank you for the complimentary words, I’m absolutely in love with this cat, I told my guy at the dealer what my absolute perfect spec would be and secondary options, found a few close but they sold before we could grab them, got this one before it hit the showroom floor and had it transferred over to my dealer, was meant to be, I got the exact car I would have spec’d out myself on order, not one thing different, has the red seat belts, love that and didn’t expect it, the vapor wheel upgrade was by far my first choice but didn’t think we’d find them, all had the black wheels, then the matte black aluminum hood, I never thought we’d find one with everything I wanted, this cat and I were meant to be together lol, thanks again guys, owning this cat makes me want to look at a trackhawk for winter, being here in Colorado.... but one car at a time, and right now I’m loving every second I can spend in this one!!

Thank you all very much for the welcome, already spending far too much time here when I should be focusing on other things, but seems like a hellcat will do that every time lol. Could never refuse an ask for pictures, nitto 555R’s just arrived at my house 10 mins ago, will be put on tmrw afternoon, just in time to make a pass at the opening weekend of the strip closest to me, will post new pics of before and after tires pics, window tint, ceramic, 3 stage motor builds, gonna have a lot of fun with this cat and will document progress along the way, thanks again everyone, loving the car and the community behind it!!

Again, thank you all for the kind words, the interior is the black laguna, I love it, was absolutely my first choice to go with the destroyer grey, somehow got the exact car I would’ve spec’d if widebodys weren’t on delay, and woulda loved the wheels that come stock on the widebody as well, but didn’t want to wait til who knows when, I will at some point get a second and maybe 3rd set of wheels, but for now I’m happy with the vapor wheels it came with rather than the black, black always just looks smaller to me blending straight into tire, will get the widebody fender flares when they can be ordered and have one of the best body guys in the world to put them on, but with most of the exterior mods like wheels I’m still shopping, I wait until I find the one that nothing else comes close to and go back to it! Thanks Bull, I visit the civilized side of Co often and will definitely be getting my mods done over there, the one thing that really sucks about living here, 3 hours from most things people take for granted, being in Junction it’s not so bad, was worse when I was in the mountains, but all the same, lots of front range trips are required, and even when I use the dealers here they bring the cars I want from lots over there if I’m buying an off the lot car, can’t do it with the inventory here, seems like there are quite a few of us here from Colorado, need to rent out a strip for the day and call all Hellcat’s in for a day of ripping pavement, sounds like a fun day, just sayin lol... Gf already took the tires over for me so I don’t have to drive 2 cars in the am to make the swap, wanted to see them, but I guess I’ll see them on my car! Hope everyone is having a great Friday night!
