I saw two black Hellcats at the gas station today a challenger and a charger both with black rims they looked awesome. So I asked the challenger owner how he liked it. He said it is a fun car. I said aren't the chargers a little quicker? He replied they're supposed to be but my brother over there isn't as good at racing as I am!
HA HAAAAA
That's awesome Gary.

If I were to buy a boat, I would choose the Charger, at least it has 4 doors. Lol, jk, I would take any of the Hellcats!
Thanks man. FINALLY nice weather.

Thanks Burton.
Awesome stuff. I need an oil change on the Roush real soon. The truck is going to need one soon as well. lol
Today I put my official individually numbered Car Talk Staff parking permit on my windshield. I won it when my answer was randomly picked from the thousands of more-or-less correct answers to the weekly puzzler. http://www.cartalk.com/puzzler/metal-helmet-mystery
So now I can park at Car Talk Plaza, Hahvahd Squayah, Cambridge, Mah. It's printed in a nice shade of blue that looks good with my Lightning Blue. Pretty cool, right? It's OK to be jealous; I don't mind.

Just ordered a new pair of 305/40/18 Nitto 555R drag radials.
$561 shipped from Discount Tire Direct on eBay.
Better than the $302/each they list them for on their site.
Quickly got tired of the lack of traction from the 285/40/18 Goodyear F1's that I've had on the back of the car for a few weeks now, and the sale pushed me off the fence.

Gabe - if I were to do it again, I'd skip the Nitto's - at least for me. They are a decent tire, good life span, but the compromise is in grip. I am likely going with Toyo's or MT ET Streets drag radials.

Already ordered so not gonna change.
I considered Mickey Thompson ET Street SS tires in the same 305/40/18 size, but they have a price fix going on, and at $365 a piece that's just too **** much.
And I've read that their sidewall is softer, which might be better at the track, but I don't go to the track, and the 555R's have been great for me.
As far as Toyo, I'm assuming you're talking about the R888's ?
I've looked into those, great tread pattern and supposedly great traction, but a tire that is very noisy at highway speeds, and a tire that quickly gets greasy and chunks up on roadcourse-type racing. Even seen pictures of huge chunks of tread missing from some R888's after a single lap on a course
Drove it to school, turned 40k miles on the way home.
Mine turned 25k on the way to work. Can't believe how good she's driving now. No creaks, no clunks, no gear whine, trans shifting perfectly, rides perfectly. I'm not trying very hard to sell...hoping I can work things out with wifey and keep the stang
Cool beans
(i must be getting old;
i'm like 'what about the warranty?')
When you make "Gabe money",......there's no worries. LOL

Ha, yeah, that's why I'm almost 42 and back in school, cuz I make a lot of money
Just a reminder when you buy a used car even with low miles....you should change all fluids so your sure its got quality , clean fluids....makes a big difference.....don't trust whats in it

If the suspension and camber are set properly on the car for the track that's being run on, the 888's do just fine. Any tire will chunk and come apart after one track day if they're heated asymmetrically all day long.
