You may have a hard time convincing the trucking industry that they've been doing it wrong for over four decades now.

It's fully understandable, I think, that these air deflectors don't get much respect. For one, they came free with (or on) the vehicle. And more importantly, they're not visible. Compare that to spending money on a pair of 2-foot Hellcat decals for the sides of the car. Now that's a performance...

Sure looks like Pierre will be enjoying his Challenger long before we get the 'Hawk. As of today it's in D1, which isn't bad for only 10 days since ordering, but it's two more than what it took to reach that status last time. At this pace it won't arrive until late March, or so. I'll have to...

Okay, so if I put Hellcat and Redeye badges on mine, how much of a price bump would you guys expect from that? All performance gains aside, that is, strictly value.

Dang, only 250 tire changes in 12 months? You must be kinder to your rear tires than I am.

Yes, yes, that's what I meant. Somewhat like our White Sands Natl. Monument. Then again, with "Purerock" as a screen name, and in the transportation biz, who knows what the real meaning was.

Hmm, I thought you Floridians imported lots of white, powdery, substances.

I'm hoping for some snow now that it's broken in. Need to find out where the limits are on this thing. As it is, we're all but out of snow at the moment.

Congratulations, Pierre!

It's been too long since I drove the 'Cat now, and haven't driven the 'Hawk enough yet, to have a good feel for the difference. Maybe just the knowledge of that the 'Hawk is even heavier than the portly 'Cat plays in? It's supposed to be slower, so therefore it is?

Ah, good old hellcat org. May it rest in peace. I think most of us came from there. Good place to be from.

Darn it. He'd probably never buy mine, since it's void of any badges.

You call 15 "super cold"?? We've had an unusually mild winter, so it hasn't gone below -6 yet. I do kind of question myself about not ordering the block heater, though. But then I remind myself that it's not a diesel. By the way, which of the the "old forums" did you migrate over from?

We can't really blame FCA for the delay in your case, I think. Our Redeye's almost four month delay to even get on a train was a different story, but normally it seems to be shipping logistics. At that point it's out of FCA's control, as far as I know. And yes, the wait was definitely harder...

Mine's very quiet, as is my girlfriend's Redeye compared to my '18 'Cat, but I don't mind that one bit. Now, the exhaust sure seems to make a lot of noise after 500 miles when I step on it, and is louder than my 'Cat's, and much louder than the Redeye's. Odd.

Hmm. I still haven't checked if the 'Cat fits well in the toyhauler. But if it does, a friend of mine in Kentucky wants me to come out and run the Tail. This Fest is more incentive.

Clayton, if you're referring to my red 'Hawk, thank you! I'm really enjoying it, but only managed a bit over 500 miles on it so far. Tomorrow I'm hoping to change the oil, then the weather will supposedly turns ugly again. Of course, that's what I bought it for - to be able to listen to blower...

Pierre, I'm glad you took my post the right way. But I'm still a bit butt hurt because of Magnified having no compassion for my well founded anxiety. Then again, he has a Charger. Those are probably only ordered by municipalities, then sold as surplus. Yeah, looking at it that way, I feel...

Clayton, I think you'll really like a Challenger. Had I not driven and enjoyed a Challenger before getting the 'Hawk, I would've probably thought "Man, this thing is quick!". Well, it is, but those extra pounds sure make themselves known when accelerating. Full disclosure: I have only made a...

Well, part of that wait was obviously that they had to start production of the Trackhawk in the first place, six years later.
