Huh? Don't you hit the rev limiter staying in 4th?!?

Not quite. I can only go about 2,000 miles without stopping for fuel. And stopping, and getting going again, pretty much involves using the clutch. Of course, if I slowed down a bit, I might make it all the way without getting more fuel. Although, there's most likely some pesky stop sign or...

Fastest, or quickest? Either way, the non-synchro 18-speed in my Pete satisfies my shifting needs. Yep. Hardly any Corona crap, friendly cops, and, well, just really nice. At least I like it.

There is, and nice twisties, too. To put it in perspective, it's almost 70 miles to the nearest stop light...and one stop sign right by the house along the way there. Wouldn't want it any other way.

I would be mad at that performance robbing stick, too.

That might have something to do with it. Not that she drives slowly by any means. When she comes home today I'll ask, and generally the answer is somewhere between 100 and 130. But those aren't sustained speeds, like I tend to do, and she doesn't pass nearly as aggressively as I do. EDIT: My...

It seems to me that the dealers' 6-8 week predictions are generally quite optimistic. And that's with the plants open.

Ah, yes, the three stages of oil's life. Stage 1: On the dealer's lot the oil remains perfect indefinitely. Stage 2: With the papers signed the oil goes bad at or before six months. Stage 3: Once out of warranty, the oil's life expectancy reverts back to Stage 1.

In theory my girlfriend's Redeye should get lower mileage than my basic 'Cat, right? Not so. She consistently gets at least 10% better mpg than I do. Both are basically driven on the same roads, but there are so many other variables.

Well, stock vehicles can have unbalanced tires and worn out components, too.

Depends. When I put mine together (spring-over, tie rod behind the axle, correct Ackerman angle, more caster, etc.) it handled a lot better than stock, and never had any wobble. Well, until I tried Johnny Joints in a doomed-to-fail application - at the frame end of the front shackles.

Any live axle vehicle can get death wobble. It can be a simple as not having correctly balanced wheels, or as a result of worn components. "They" don't have any control over how the vehicles are maintained, so they can't fix it.

Not sure I get this. If I drive mine every day, or once a month, shouldn't the mileage be about the same either way? If anything I suspect that my mileage would improve a bit with daily use, as I probably wouldn't stomp on it as enthusiastically after a few weeks.

These days it's only a matter of a dozen pushes on the steering wheel buttons to change that, so one can never be sure.

Oh, don't get me wrong. I like Chargers. As long as they're '72 or older. They may not be as fast, but at least they had the correct amount of doors.

It does seem like the Covid 19 has a very good PR agency.

And? That's only 127 in mph.

Yeah, really, you Uber guys need to reconsider your situation here.

Artificially created cubic inches, but still.

Logic dictates that it's better to have a supercharger than a regular Charger.
