Stage Kits Warranty Void if you Race

[Unholy707]

If I had a Redeye, I'd get a custom tune and call it good. A tune makes a big difference and really enhances the driving experience. Unless you're going to the track 807hp is plenty IMO and you'll get a few more from a good tune as well.

As for going to the track, it doesn't have to be a big money pit like you seem some get in to. Mine hasn't been, but I've also set a target class and raced in that class. 10.00 is pretty easy in these cars and I ran in that for several years with no issues what so ever. When the 2.7 blower fell in my lap that pushed me to the 9.50 class. Start going much beyond that and things will get expensive. Every platform has a tipping point where that happens and for Hellcat 9.50 seems to be it which is crazy fast, we're just all spoiled these days.

There's no money in racing these things really, so racing in a 10.50, 10.00, 9.50 etc class will all be the same really. I think I've won like $400 a year or so here and there so what's the point really.

You’re in the 9.50 class now?? Didn’t know you’ve even ran the car with with the 2.7. How’s it working?

Working better than I thought it would to be honest. The work SDG did added quite a bit based on what I see from modded Redeyes. I'm on the edge of needing a parachute which I'll never do, just like no cage. I'll be slowing the car down to hit 9.50.

Do you have videos on your channel about it? What are you running?

 

[Speedy!]

Yeah on the channel but all the results and settings and stuff are only for channel members.

Here's the thread from the initial testing:

Thanks! Not sure how I missed it

And rhe car will rat.you out when they scan the history. Even street racing wont do, repeatedly running from a standing start at WTO for 13 or 14 seconds pulling 1 g. The is what will get you.

But not putting the caveat up front is pretty weak.

My warranty in my Trackhawk was voided before my car even hit the street lol..... Right to the shop for mods.

I have a Redeye that makes almsot 900 whp. Its flipping fast no doubt but like anything u get use to it and wanna go faster. I do remember when I first got the Redeye I was like "I dont need to modify this its fast enough". That lasted a month lol.

I was mainly focused on the 10.50 class and had loads of fun.

And when you catch that 1/10th, there is another beyond it. Then another. And another. You can sit content with what you have, or you can chase the addiction!

Stop attacking me 😭

So, after watching AR do the 9.3's in his Plaid, you thinking maybe going to the dark side?

If you spend enough money you can always go faster. 70k to 140K not even close to same

$108.5k And you don't need DR's, wheels, fuel rails, pulleys, tunes, or void your warranty. But, no question, it is a toy, (perhaps a really fun toy!), and I can't see it holding value like HC's.

I can not imagine anything more boring than driving a electric car down the track in 9 seconds. Getting a Hellcat down the track is a challenge no matter what. That’s the point

This is exactly why it may be the future, the youths today want everything handed to them, making an effort is out of the question. Why throw a ball, play golf, race cars, fly planes or do competitive shooting sports when you can do it all from the comfort of an easy chair.

Soon the car will drive itself to the line, watch the tree, launch itself, while the driver sleeps, maybe in mom's basement.

I saw my 1st Tesla dealership in Jacksonville last week. It was packed with cars.

They ran 9.3 with stock wheels and no radials? Wider wheels, spacers and radials is Tesla owners #1 mod

And they do suspension stuff

500mi on the clock, showroom stock. Mfr says it'll do 9.23. Sure got my attention. I would probably never buy one, if I did it might be cool to test the speed limits. Not sure I would have a reason to drive it other than that.

If that is the case, it would support my expectation that the HC's will hold value better.
