I'm not gonna lie, it's a lot of fun. I drove it to work one day so had a good day of seat time. I got home and decided to run an errand in my 69 charger 383 car. Part way down the road I was trying to diagnose why it wasn't running right. Finally realized it was running like it always had. I'd...
It's not a cool old car. It was my hellcat challenger. Shipping cost was less than a plane ticket gas and a hotel would have been for me to drive it back.
Just to follow up on all this. I used Montway to ship the car. Money went through a 3rd party escrow. When the hauler confirmed they had the car loaded I told escrow to release the cash. Worked great and I had the car on my doorstep 2 days later.
My kids come hang out with me in the garage since they could walk. They're 2 and 3 now. They love to empty my bolt bins onto the floor. They also like to play with my tools. Of course they love to go for rides too.
It's the best annoyance in the garage a dad could ask for.
You absolutely should! It's ridiculously fun and it's not terribly expensive or hard to get your car set up pretty well. Not that it matters what others think but there is a certain appreciation for someone going out and slinging around an old car that "doesn't handle."
General discussion topic as I genuinely don't know the answer.
In B bodies, to have an R/T required you to have a 440 or 426 hemi.
In e bodies it seems basically anything except a 318 or /6 can be an R/T. Most commonly 383's as the non-440/426 option but even a 340 could be optioned in an...
Already done. That's what I'm saying. Less than $1000 in bolt on parts to a 69 charger (and maybe or maybe not tires) and you will outrun a hellcat at least on the autocross. I'd love to run both my cars at the same event but I don't think it's possible.
I'm sure the hellcat gives up about 700-800lbs. Tires are also all season. I meant to weigh it today but didn't have time to stop at the scale. The challenger also has 2x the hp. If I was to put all seasons on my charger again I'm not convinced the hellcat could beat the charger still. It'd be...
Final autocross of the season was today and I did something a little different. The last few autocrosses a supercharged non-hellcat challenger and a hellcat redeye have been coming. Both are relatively new and I have been consistently beating both in my 69 charger by about .5-1.0 seconds. So...
All new bushings in the front end then an alignment helps a ton. From there I'd get a bigger sway bar. You didn't say what you wanted in end use so I'm assuming a nice cruiser. I would not change the torsion bars or leaf springs for bigger and heavier ones.
Had a good time at the autocross today. But when I went to go home she cranked kinda slow and didn't start. Begged a jump from someone and still cranked very slow eventually not cranking at all. What the heck? Checked my grounds and they were good. Tapped on the starter while someone else...
I've heard that too. I think people that say they can feel it is because the have hashed out suspension components that wiggle all over. I'm running 275/50-15 on the front of my 69 charger, with all new bushings, and it drives fine.
