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.

I keep seeing 196 for the Charger. Is that with all four doors open?

Now that you mention it, the Blues Brothers also drove a 4-door cop car.

Let's hope so!

Either way, as is usually the case, UAW doesn't exactly help things along.

Could it be that they want to get a pay increase in the process, then?

Supposedly they tried to reopen, but UAW didn't want to. Which, if they make more staying home, makes sense.

A taxing drive, having to make sure that four doors are properly closed?

No fair comparing a V6 Challenger to a Charger Hellcat. Oh, wait...those are pretty comparable now that I think about it.
