A neighbor gave it to us like that. I painted it. He actually will go in and rest during the day.

I just need to go another direction now that Dodge has bent the knee.
why buy new when you want a 69 Charger.

Just saw this, that’s awesome @Speedy! Glad someone got a shot at one who’ll actually drive and race it. After everything that‘s happened, it’s got to feel good.

@Hatermkr way to lend a hand Jim - that’s great!

I still want the 69 Charger but with my health issues I don’t think I can maintain it.
Damn bro how young are you and @DavidKFla ?

LOL @fumanchu182 that made me spit my drink :ROFLMAO:

Weather has been crap since I picked the car up. I did get a break Friday afternoon so I took off work early and got it all detailed, so that OCD itch is scratched. Paint is in great shape, no swirls and passes the baggie test so no clay bar required.




So then I moved on to checking out the mechanicals starting with the fuel system.

2 FPCMs as expected, but what's that silver box? Says "voltage stabilizer" on it. Looking up the part number it looks like something for Jeep? Also, fuel rail with ethanol sensor.






Started finding the Easter eggs. They're definitely planning to use this to sell DC parts I'd say.







Front brakes looked bigger than I expected. Rear looked smaller. Lug nuts are hollow.






Front wheel/tire is 55.5lbs, rear 61 lbs. Original Hellcat wheel with stock Pirelli all season was also 61. I expected a little lighter. That 315 is meaty though. They drilled out the back of the wheel hubs. Maybe to save weight?







Some kinda brace going across the rear spindle. Rear axles are HUGE.




Did a test fit of the Hellcat Warp Speed wheel I had. Looked fine on the front. I'm not sure about the back. Trying to imagine it 11" wide. This one is only 9.5".

Finding street tires and wheels might prove tricky. I did see a 305/50R20 that would help keep that big rear tire look? It's 32" in diameter vs the 315 29.4" so maybe too much. GM of the dealer said they'll cover my first set of rear tires as a thanks, so maybe I ride on these MTs and see how long they last and just avoid rain at all cost.

I'm really curious what all the rear end changes are. No one has done a full teardown yet of the 170 rear cradle and components.
All that's been said so far is:
* 240mm diff vs 230mm (same 2.62 ratio?)
* 43 spline axles, vs 41
* larger driveshaft
* reinforced mounting (guessing that bracket is part of it)
* reinforced cradle hardware (no idea what that could mean)
claimed 50% stronger than RE/Demon
