really? I don't see it. I thought the hellcat used screw type rotors in the roots blower. I think it is gear and belt driven (crank drives belt, belt pully drives gear reduction attached to rotors) which means it may be the gear reduction sprockets?

 

I'm really interested in the spec. Supposed to be a 1000 HP AWD challenger?

The hellcat gets a eaton tvs blower, which is a roots style supercharger, just with updated technology in the rotors. Still not as efficient as a screw, but more cost effective to manufacture.

 

I hear that complaint about DSGs a lot, and I get it. If they are really going to be the stand in for real manuals in the performance though we need the companies to put more of them in cars not less so they will invest in evolving it into something really good.

Dual clutch gear boxes have lost their appeal imo, torque converted automatics are back on top of the "how fast can you shift" pile. The new 8 speed behind the C7 Z06 out shifts Porches PDK trans in the 911.

I'm actually going to second this.

Park it with a full tank and fuel stabilizer. And don't move it or start it till spring. Starting it "every so often" is actually bad for the engine, after about a week or so it's a dry start with basically no lubrication present.

As far as smell and keeping critters away, bounce sheets actually seem to work well.
