Gut it fresh tires 9s. Id gut it just to get the 9 LOL

Im actually not lacking for power here. Its just traction. If I push it to get a 1.4x short time, it just blows off the tires. If I baby it a bit you get that 10.0 that I ran. I was doing even worse spinning, then getting on it and I ran 10.2 twice...lol It power is there, just need to hook on a harder launch. That 10.0 should have been a 9.80 with my normal 1.4-1.5 short time. Sucks. Its a bit of a trek to get down there. Oh well, next time then.

Whelp - 9s will remain elusive.

For now...

In the meantime, the hellcat has been liquidated. I've mentioned this before, but we are building a new home here in FL. And our budget has increased exponentially. And that means I had to pool some more cash.

And with the car hobby, I've basically been playing with the same $40k-$60k of cash for the last few years. I've had a few big winners and a few small losers. In the case of the hellcat, I basically ate the mods. Not bad. Around $4k. But I got basically what I paid for it last June since I got a huge discount on it being a left over new 23 narrow body.

It was hard to see it go, but the new home will have a 4th garage spot for something very special coming in 2026. I have to wait until after we close in December to do what I want as well as waiting on some stocks to mature and vest to offset "whats coming".

So adios mopar. I really did love this car. So close to 9s as well, and I know it had it in it. What a great platform to make big power with. But had to do what is right for the wife and kids to get where we want to be and in the home we plan on retiring in.

I beat you.

Before you ask, I've been making a short list of possibilities in no specific order.
All used of course. No reasoning, just a wish list of cars of current gens that I'd like to own.

C8 Z06
GTR
M3 competition Xdrive
X5M competition
911 of some sort
C63 AMG
S650 GT500 ? future model.

At least it wasnt wrecked and traded like some other Stellantis product here recently....... :bowrofl:

Or stolen... That was a serious possibility and something that would hurt real bad right about now. We are knee deep in this house shit and it would put a real speed bump on the build and closing.

It will be nice to take the next 9 months or so and really look at the market and see what else is out there in terms of cars. Id really like something that doesnt need to live on drag radials and can still run 10s, or even 9s.

Pretty much going to be limited to a BEV to run 9’s out of the gate. Maybe something like a Lucid?
