Traded in my charger

Just wasn’t driving it enough. The roads are already cold here and the charger was simply a burnout machine most of the year even with drag radials. I wanted a smaller, awd car with potential.

 

Decided to get a 2019 rs3. Checked off all the options except the driver assist package as I hate Audi’s adaptive cruise. The car comes with 400hp/350tq stock, and weighs over 1000lbs less than the charger.

 

Right now the car has catless midpipes, FMIC, intake, turbo inlet, and a stage 1 engine/dsg tune for 91 octane. Plans are for stage 1 e85 this year, stage 2 next year, and eventually big turbo and 9’s.

Wow...those seats and that red stitching are beautiful. That FMIC is *slightly* larger than stock :lol: Congratulations on the new car!

 

Curious, with you being in Wisconsin, that Byers in good ol' Columbus had the best deal on the right car for you? Very cool, but just surprised you didn't get it closer. Mind you, Trey is awesome...but still... ;)

Thanks guys. I had originally traded my c6z for a Chevy ss, which just wasn’t fast enough for me, so I traded for the hellcat. I didn’t like the fact each car was getting bigger and less like the vette, and I’m not ready to buy another 2 seater yet—gonna wait for the c8z, or an exotic in a couple years, once my girls start driving and I’m not constantly lugging them around.

super nice. I remember sitting in one at the Cleve auto show when they first came out and was in love.

 

Do the stock injectors flow enough for e85? or does someone make bigger injectors now?

 

Stage 1 e85 can be done on the stock fuel system

 

Stage 2 e85 requires a downpipe and bigger injectors

 

Bigger turbo and you need to upgrade the fuel pump

 

I’m surprised the stock system can support e85
