Stock? I imagine he's driving it as its intended to be driven?My buddy just lost his second engine in his R. Ford buying car back. Sad. Maybe I don’t want a 5.2

100% stock, first issue after/on open track session and second street driving after being fixed. He's not a mechanical car guy but he said second was from a 'misalignment' and might be install related but he's had it rattle itself to death and after 2 engine failures it's a buy backStock? I imagine he's driving it as its intended to be driven?
Super bummed as I was thinking of doing a TT flex fuel non-R '19 with carbon fiber interior in that new Performance blue.See.....it’s what I’ve been saying unfortunately. Just not a sturdy setup even at stock power levels.
What?All I want is factory door edge guards but nope can't make them

Ken is an excellent tuner, he used to do the tuning for Power By The Hour over in Boyton.I'm looking for 30rwhp and considering a E85 tune from palm beach dyno
SVT Shelby GT500
Just need a little more pull on the straights to catch those gt3rs's
problem becomes how to keep gas in it.

Still might but at this point, modding the Hellcat makes more sense.
I just miss shifting and not looking for a racecar, just killer street package I won't hurt on track

Hellcats will handle a TON of power on stock components, with the correct equipment / tuning. That would be where I was putting my mod money!
I can see the 'not as fun' aspect, though.
A super duty truck can handle quite a bit of power on stock components as well. That's what happens when you design a 4500 lb pig that doesn't turn or stop as well as a Honda Accord (on equivalent rubber).
The hellcat is that guy at the gym that's 100 lbs overweight with tiny calves. Can't run, can't squat, can't do pullups or anything remotely athletic, but he can bench press 350 (which seems impressive until you realize he weighs 300). He goes around at parties talking about how much he can bench press. He wears his sleeves rolled up over his large fatty arms because bench press is his only claim to fame in life. That's the hellcat.....a car that makes 707 hp (AT THE CRANK) with a blown 6.2 liter V8. Welcome to 1990 technology.
The car is fat, slow and unbearably unimaginative or sophisticated. Dodge engineers and bean counters are laughing all the way to the bank. In the planning stages they sat in a room and said "we'll just slap together a bunch of parts and components that have been around for 30 years and it'll make a big hp number and we'll sell a bunch of them to idiots who don't care about anything other than a high hp rating. We won't have to invest a single dime in R/D for pesky things like fuel economy or weight or braking or turning.)
There's 2018 Mustang GT's running 8's already and idiots are still running around bragging about hellcats.
lol...off topic, does the manual tranny hold up to the added power on a hellcat??all of a sudden your username makes a lot of sense.

We get it you don't like the Hellcat.I can't stand hellcat owners. 99% of them live in delusion. I'm a car guy, I like just about anything worth liking. There are cars that impress me and then there's cars that are just way overpriced.
the ONLY thing noteworthy about the hellcat or the demon is the whole "drop your kids off at school" feature. Which is why I think the trackhawk is a MUCH, MUCH, MUCH more impressive vehicle. At least it's noteworthy.
Go to ANY strip or track and a hellcat is not even close to the fastest car there. EVER. Because it's a pig. It was never meant to be a strip car (and doesn't even sniff being a track car).
If I wanted a go fast muscle car, I'd buy a camaro or a mustang GT, slap a dealer optioned blower (with warranty) and kick the hell out of a hellcat or a demon (and not have to run race fuel to do it) for a LOT less money, in a car that even though it's a muscle car would ALSO stop better and turn better than the hellpig.
The trackhawk on the other hand, embraces the fact that it's a pig and you get an SUV that hauls ass. It's noteworthy.
The 2015 has 8.5L?2001 mazda miata: 155 hp / 1.8L = 86.11 hp/L
2015 Hellcat: 707 hp / 8.5L = 83.17 HP/L
