Saw this baby advertised at a local dealer on Murica's bday , drove in with my 10 challenger classic edition track pack car and drove out with this sweet de-badged hellcat. Now it keeps the Buick Company and somewhat matches until I black out the center of the hood. Took it on a trip to Tahoe the very next morning. Boy does it drink gas Any other cat owners?
Yes, had mine since February 2016. Absolutely incredible car. It will get 22 MPG not even in Eco mode and that’s 75-80 MPH if you don’t beat it. I chose a different route though. Screaming TorRed and I love my badges. Not hiding anything.
That's an awesome color! I was looking for a red one as well but this one turned up. This one is a 6 speed manual , I didn't see the eco mode but I was being easy on the throttle so that helped haha! I want to put the badges back on, they are in the glove compartment. I've had a few challengers and BMWs test me thinking it's a regular challenger until they hear the supercharger whine and see the tail lights. Do you always drive it with the red key mainly use the black one?
Funny you ask. The day I brought it home the black key got put away never to see the light of day unless it goes in for warranty work. I couldn’t convince myself to buy the manual. When these cars cut loose I want both hands on the wheel. Have almost put it in a couple of front yards as it is. Stomp on the auto at anything less than 50 and the rear goes left in a hurry. The auto is quicker in the qtr as well. I think if you go to the SRT mode you get the eco mode icon on the screen. Have some fun. Push some buttons.
I feel ya, It does break loose easily. I did read that the Auto 8 speed shifts way quicker and harder as well. I like to torture myself in Bay Area stop and go Traffic haha. I just love to row through the gears in back roads. Since I live closer to the east/ south side of San Jose and there's a couple of nice roads that head south away from the city. I picked it up with 19.5k it was a lease and had all maintenance records. Luckily the badges were in the glove box. I def would like to get the measurements. Looks like most of the adhesive is gone from the emblems. I have seen some nice gloss black metal emblems that I might pick up but I want to keep it original. Might work on the exhaust to make it a tad bit louder but it sounds really good as is when I get on it.
It’s a great color. You need to go to SF and do the Bullet Run down Taylor and have a passenger video it. I did it with my brother who lived out there a few years ago but it was in his Jeep. Here is my car in different light.
I thought about it too! Especially after Gas Monkey Garage recently replicated it with a nice 68 fastback. They shot it out there not too long ago
These will get you in the ballpark. I’ll give you exact measurements when you are ready. Many that put emblems back or fake them get the angle of the head wrong. They usually don’t tilt it forward enough. I put a level across the top front point and top middle point on top and it is pretty much dead level on drivers side. That would put it at correct angle.
Passenger side the center point was ever so slightly higher when checked with a level. So tilt it’s slightly different for both sides but not much.
This is what first turned me on to the TorRed. Probably the greatest car commercial of all time. Sorry Buick Brotherx but cute chicks in mini skirts forgetting cakes only goes so far.
That's the same exact one that got to me when I first began to notice them haha. Great commercial. I love Buicks but Mopars are awesome, especially these new ones.
