Wnybuckhunter  your braver than I,  shortly after I got my truck I was heading back to work from getting gas on lunch and there’s a long straight stretch through town. Stoped at a light and a kid pulls up next to me in a  Chevy truck with a aftermarket exhaust  , hits the loud pedal a few times and I look over and he’s looking at me. I thought about it , but came to my senses . He punched it when the light turned, and I just drove normal . 

I had just bought my g8 and it was the spring of 2010. I was a younger man, but still old enough to know better. A bunch of teens pull up in a late 90's monte carlo and start shouting at me that they will roast me. I had previously had a gtp of the same wbody drivetrain and knew this was utter bs and yet the immature kid still left in me felt i needed to prove it.

well, lets just say a 97 in a 45 on transit isn't a fun court appearance. they give you a special court for that. I'm a smarter man now, but yeah it's hard not to use those 400+horses sometimes.

is that the aftermarket add or factory? that's really bad ass. 

Aftermarket. It had regular puddle lights from the factory, and theres a guy that I met in a Hellcat forum that makes these as direct replacements. Took less than 10 minutes to do both sides.

Im looking at a few different LED lit door sill plates, but havent decided on one yet. Id like to have "SRT" on those.

i've done what you did with my dad's "chick mobile" and had the other car get pulled over just up the road. lol  i've dusted a friend also and got pulled over just up the road when i was younger.  tickets are too much a PITA but just in case I don't own anything fast. well not for vehicles.

So I havent been on the site much lately, as Ive had a ton going. I figured Id update this though and share some pics of my new toy. The kids decided I should name her Vanessa, so I went with it.

At first I was thinking of a bunch of modifications that I wanted to do, but since Ive had her, I decided to really trim down the list, as shes pretty much perfect the way she is. So far I installed some new puddle lights, and it already had a light window tint. Im going to add a JLT "cold air" intake, although these cars come with a great flowing intake and ram air from the factory. I just want the JLT to open it up a bit and hear more supercharger whine. Ill spruce a few other things up under the hood as well, to set it off a bit from other Hellcats, but thats about it.

She is a bad ass ride, thats for sure. I actually had an Orange Lamboghini Diablo pull up to me at a light on Monday. I asked him if he wanted to go, but he shook his head and said "I dont want none of that." I guess he knew better hahaha.

Pics are from when I detailed it the other day.

growing up on a farm where i used tools every day i like his tool collection.  i've heard car friends say "it ain't broke, so i'm not fixing it. i'm just making it faster." can't imagine this car has any issues. that's all i'm going to say about that. lol

I'm hoping you're the only one that can't take a joke or i'll delete my comment.

New Nitto NT555Rs are in. Just waiting for the fronts and then you guys should expect some good burnout pics and videos of me finishing off the old ones!

Funny story on "finishing off tires"  I was a jr in HS and friend a few doors down who was a senior had a 69 Charger that he dropped a 400 4 barrel in I believe. "Hop in he says." We drive to the nearest parking lot. "open your door "  I'm like why? " I'm getting new tires. He punches it and we never moved an inch, just sat there spinning and smoke started piling in thru the wheel wells and doors open were to allow the smoke to waft back out. I can still smell that rubber smell of tire stuck in my nose 30 years later.   He also outran a village cop. I'm like great Mike but you can't outrun a radio. His uncle was a detective for same police station and got him out of that jam.

Enjoy the car John, she's a sexy beast for sure
