Decided on a replacement for Go Man Go

[BULL]

So far I can't tell a difference in the brakes...

Probably not much difference until they get hot, I bet they fade much faster. Much less swept area, much less thermal mass, mildly less surface area and cooling as a result, but on essentially the same mass car.

That's what I was thinking as well. The hardest work mine will do is at the end of the quarter so I'll know more after some passes.

You know your going to get a "plug it in" reply

My memory
get in car
close door
buckle belt
Ignition to "run" ( don t start car )
Now do the buckle 3 times ( maybe 4 ) fairly fast
ignition to off
Unbuckle

Fire up the car & go

If it don t work blame Racer X

I have a stubby seatbelt extender plugged into all of my cars, no warning chimes !!

 

[MikeD1]

On both my Hellcat & the 2 Durango's there was settings in Uconnect that let me select if I wanted it to auto-brake & chime or just chime or turn both off.

Did you look in the settings menu? I think you can turn the sound on or off.

I said in another thread, if the 149mph thing turns out to be accurate it won't bother me much. In 7 years of WOT testing in the Hellcat I only went over 149 once. It WOULD have been better if they'd made it 170mph though IMO.



YES, it has the lights in the mirrors, and cross path detection I believe. I'm pretty sure I heard the BEEP BEEP BEEP the other day backing out of a parking space.

Window sticker says Park Sense on it as well as one of the standard features.

Speedy..
Had any thoughts lately on what you might be using for your ride around wheels/tires?

Still noodling on that one. The 20x11 with 315/35R20 tire is at the top of my list. I need to mount some on the car to make a decision I think.

In a perfect world I could find the Warp Speed wheel like I had on the Hellcat in a 20x11 Brass Monkey. This would kill two birds with one stone since I still have my original Brass Monkey Warp Speed fronts from the old car. Else I have to buy four wheels, have the Pirellis unmounted/re-mounted on the new wheels, and buy new rear tires. I'm going broke.

@Bowtie Guy thanks for the reminder on the build sheets. I just reviewed and sure enough Park Sense is not listed. So strange it gets the backup camera and cross path detection but no park sense. Maybe because the rear bumper has to come off for the parachute or something who knows.

I see "cell phone storage" on there. What is that? Surely not that tiny pocket next to the shifter that can't "store" a cell phone?

Works great for my flip phone ??

Is this the pocket you mean Speedy ?

I had to go out to the garage and see if ours had that, it does. Not sure I have really noticed it. My big galaxy note 9 would fall right out of that

 

[DavidKFla]

I just like how it's done in the Charger.

 

[Speedy!]

@Bowtie Guy I was talking about that area on the console right beside the shifter. You can see it in David's picture above.

I like how the Charger has that slot though, that'd work good. In the Challenger the cup holders are on in front of the other and too narrow to fit a cell phone.

Weather was crappy all weekend, so I took the opportunity to get ceramic coating applied. 230 miles and counting.

I came across this product when restoring the 4Runner and it worked great and was SUPER easy to use: https://amzn.to/42Dmr2P

So I used it on the Demon including the matte hood. Results were great as expected although I was nervous doing the hood. I've had professional ceramic, the high end DIY, and now this spray product. It's been on the 4Runner for several months and doing great. If it lasts a year I'll be thrilled. It literally takes about 45 minutes to do the whole car start to finish so much easier to use than the bottle type, although the bottle type lasts about 3 years. With as easy as it is to use, and pretty cost effective, I think it's a good trade off. You can put it on everything, paint, plastic, glass, I even did the windshield wipers. That's what makes it so easy and it has a long working time.

I'm particular about keeping my car clean, even when I drag race. I always spent more time than I wanted cleaning out the wheel wells leaving the track to remove all the rubber. I tried several products to keep the rubber from sticking but never had much luck. This time I used this trim ceramic product on the liners. They feel pretty slick so we'll see how it does. I wouldn't use it on the black plastic exterior trim, it has a higher sheen than I'd like but worked great on the liners: https://amzn.to/3SzsEIA

I currently have xpel fusion on mine. It's the only one that has made it the stated full 4 year of the guarantee.

I had someone use jade 7yr on the truck and it barely made it 2.5yrs. Am not impressed. That was with more than proper care too. So meh.

Maybe next time around I'll try the adams.

I don t think the 2018 Demon has this either

Looking good!
