Highest Mileage Hellcat

[Hellcatcfp]

Always Intrigued by this (assuming it isn't a hoax). Someone claiming 161,000+ miles on 2015 Hellcat. Pretty cool if true.

That's a lot of driving, in a Hellcat.

 

[SunnyS]

Wow! Wonder what mechanical problems came about in those miles.

I have 27,000 miles on mine, drive it every weekday to work. I've put on 10,000 miles since I bought it in April.

Nice. I have 4000 in two months. These things are just to fun to park.

And if you do the math, the owner has spent as much on fuel to get those miles as a new Scat Pack would cost. 161,000 miles/13MPG =12,384 gallonsX$3.50 =$43,346!!!

I have had mine for a month now and am over the 4k mark. I will be following this thread as I am curious as to how many miles I will get out of mine. I put an average of 1,200 miles a week in my Hellcat LOL

There are those who bought them to look at them, rub them with diapers, and ride on the coat tails of those who actually use their stuff.

Where's the "most stone chips" thread at? Probably buried beneath the copious "which PPF?" and "which rock guard?" threads.

Dude, I am digging the '80 LeMans Wagon. I swear one day I will have a wagon with the biggest motor I can find stuffed under the hood. A super sleeper if you will.

Daily drive mine (unless heavy rain is expected). Have had mine 5 months and just hit 2800 miles.
That means I do not drive near as much to get to work as you do.

Ouch!! That’s like my wife telling me “always gotta make everything into a math problem.” Really puts it in perspective

I'm glad to see this thread as I am daily driving mine (just purchased a few weeks ago). My work varies and can often be done at home but I'll still probably be putting 12-14k miles a year on the car. Will this thing hold up for 100K miles, will it behave well enough in the rain (SoCal so not much or often), will it cost me a fortune to operate,... I just reluctantly sold my other car so no option but to take the Hellcat. So far the car has been perfect and drives comfortably. It seems reassuringly easy to keep it reined in when needed. However, I'm going to feel guilty commuting 120 miles up and down the 5 with her. Its a battle zone out there with crazy drivers, flying rocks, tires, mattresses, sheets of plywood, and sometimes stop and go for hours on end. There is no question this car will fulfill my need for excitement but will she hold up for the long haul? I hope to see more posts in this thread giving me confidence that it will but if not, well we are basically married now for better or for worse.

The only money out of pocket I've spent on mine is for gas and oil. I did have the supercharger swapped under warranty. I was getting a slight bearing noise at 44k miles and I didn't want to take any chances. Dealer changed it no questions asked. I DD mine for a year (12,000 miles) and decided I'd rather make her a weekend car. My Pzeros still have good tread on them so no tires yet. No regrets.

You have 44k on original Pzeros?

 

[ACMAVRO]

No Lol. I believe they were brand new when I got the car at 33k

I DD my Redeye and after 2.5 months I am already at 3,500 miles. already did my first oil change at around 1,500 miles. My daily commute is only 25 miles round trip but I cannot seem to get off work and go straight home...this car is just so damn much fun to drive around. I do plan to retire it to the garage probably toward the end of 2020 only because I hope to start building it to run faster and faster in the 1/2 mile...we will see??? I did previously own a 2017 HC which was a weekend car and missed it everyday...so planning to drive my RE until build time.

May the force be with you. That is a battle zone for sure.
