  1. It was the instructor who was killed. http://www.cnn.com/2015/04/12/us/florida-disney-driving-experience-death/
  2. http://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/nation/2015/04/12/dead-lamborghini-crash-disney-auto-attraction/25691401/ Even the_Buster didn't wreck doing this.
  3. Includes all the factory part numbers for the Hellcat air box on this thread too. http://www.allpar.com/forums/threads/an-all-2015-challengers-have-hellcat-headlights.160292/
  4. So Hennessey was able to get the runway at NASA long enough to make one run in one direction and go 270, and Dwiggs is going to do better than that? I assume Hennessey had a larger rental budget too. Why not go to an actual one mile event to set the record??
  5. Looks like also a blue Eclipse with altezza tail lamps. Fail.
  6. The front splitter is a tip off too. Awesome! Auto or manual?
  7. Congrats! Nice car. The 2015's are pretty nice.
  8. I think you missed something when your incident originally occurred. Her mom knew you were naked and fucking, the receipt was a poor excuse for her to come in and check out the goods. She was secretly hoping to get in on the action, and when she stepped over your head she was probably in a robe with no panties on. You missed out on the mother - daughter threesome.
  9. Not sure if there is special pricing on Scat Pack available. There is no employee discount on any SRT, Viper, or Dart SE (yes really). I would have to check on the Scat Pack to know if it's excluded as well. I did check and the 1500 cash back is only on the Charger.
  10. He doesn't have a scanner. Are you still interested? He has a 3D printer and does design and print services for people. If you have a file or drawing he will print it.
  11. I actually knew you would use the Power Tour as a rebuttal to this. See below. And there are a lot more than 500 Hellcat's getting made. I believe they said the production capacity of the engine is 10 to 12,000/year and the entire first year is sold out already. The fact that we're building so many, and the price of the car, I'm sure it will be a primary car for a lot of people. Sure, some will lock them up, but not 12, 24, or 36,000 of them. Safety, NVH, ride, comfort, ease of getting them in and out of child seats, creature comforts, etc. Sure, you'll tell me that's a choice, just like I choose not to ride a bike to work. The bottom line is, sure it's ok for a toy car, but not a primary car/daily driver, which these are. Hey, we're people too! Fact is, most people didn't have their cars in time for winter, but many people here did and they drove the hell out of them. As I said, not all were company cars, there were also personal Hellcat's driven every day. No dispute here, you were the one talking about wrestling 700 hp everyday. I offered an alternative. Mark my words: unless the EPA backs down from their 2025 regulations and yearly increases up to that point, this is it. Everything will have to go hybrid and downsize displacement to meet the regs. There may be V8's for very special cars/trucks, but not anywhere near the production numbers we have now.
  12. I have a coworker who does this. Not sure what he charges.
  13. I can't drive my kids around in a big block 69 Camaro. I can't pack the family into a big block Camaro and drive to Florida. I can in a Hellcat. Different cars, different purposes.
  14. There were quite a few daily driven through the Michigan winter, and these weren't just company cars, they were personal vehicles. If you don't want to wrestle 700 hp down the road every day use the black key. I'm glad you already know the resale of these vehicles, and I hope you're right because I'd like to pick one up someday. But the fact is that the Hellcat's are pretty special cars, built in limited numbers, and could possibly be the last mass-produced, high HP V8 car ever, if CAFE has its way.
  15. $1500 cash back right now on the Charger Scat Pack...I didn't check the Challenger. Must take delivery by end of month.
  16. Torque converters have clutches too. They don't just slosh fluid around all the time, they also lock up.
  17. Exactly, but bang-for-the-buck the Scat Pack is a steal at ~485 HP 6.4L for $20k+ less than a Hellcat. But even if you put a new Kenne Bell on the 6.4L for 900HP, the Hellcat still has a ton of other upgrades you couldn't match.
  18. Charger or Challenger? No Charger manuals were ever built by the factory. It would require changes to the floorpan, which would require much more crash testing for what would be a very small take-rate option.
  19. Not sure what this was in response to, but the Loyalty Plan is VZW.
  20. I would daily the hell out of it with my two child seats in the back. http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/03/23/a28954bd579e6530a2ec2bed1f01a7c0.jpg
  21. The one to buy is the Scat Pack. $39,999-ish with the 6.4L.
