What did you do to your Hellcat today?

People lost their shit when I said 10k miles on mine

Motherfu.............

 

[MMissile]

I put 50 miles on mine, yesterday. I was out chasing parts for my Duster.

 

[DavidKFla]

Walked by mine sitting in the garage with a couple of slack tires and plugged into life support. Geez.

Like rakes and snow shovels! Like my garage!

Went to fix it but broke it. Oof. First time I’ve had to push the car

 

[DGatzby]

Yesterday finally drove it around for a while. While coming out of Home Depot, we did not find someone attempting to steal it, but a guy with a real camera standing guard! Liked it and was taking close up pictures of even the wheels and DP brakes it wears. Ultimate compliment, IMO. We had a short nice chat.

Fixed the fuel issue. Turns out I didn’t break it, it was just by luck that it stayed in there at all. Old in tank clip expanded and lost its preformed shape (most likely due to constant e85 usage and storage). Replaced it with another one all good

Pulled it out of the garage, switch out wife's broken dryer with a new one I had in storage at my other property and then put it back into home garage

Don't you need to new tires after doing that?!?!?

 

[DGatzby]

New rear road course tires. Little smaller 335 than the former 345’s maybe a little more sticky than the regular Cup 2? We will see. It gets tested in June. It WILL be graded on its lap times because no bullshit it is the short course at BIR. I have lots of laps on it to compare this one and the ‘15. No excuses, it is now running real well and all expendables will be fresh. The fronts are barely used. It turned some fairly good laps a few years ago. Hope they help the ass end stay planted so I can come out of the corners with some throttle, because we got some.

Good luck, David!

Everything is a reason for new tires

Does the heat cycling really make a difference

Does the heat cycling really make a difference

I have tried tires with and without. The tires with are ready to go and indeed wear MUCH better. The increased durability is real and noticeable. My two year old front Cup 2’s have been flat amazing with how durable they have been. The tires I am removing have about 25% thread remaining, but feel like they have been “cycled” too many times now. They have served me for several years! They show a great deal of evidence of spinning from my last time out at the big track when we were checking out the “tune”. They were challenged even at over 100 mph. I want more and fresh traction.

How much do they charge you for the heat cycling?

 

[Bobo]

What is the process to "heat cycle" new tires???

$30 a tire. They sure look like what is described happens.
