What is your definition of stock?

[moparjim]

Pfft - that is just strategic placement of weight. Tossing the weight from the back seat into the trunk is still stock right? Even if it is just a 45lb plate. Also clearly you are benefiting from the redesign of '18-up blower too. LOL.

Now the 2018 blower thought is something I thought about. But then again I am not the only one with a new blower.

Face it Jim your car was assembled by leprechauns and unicorns.

I thought the only unicorn was uncrnps? I should check my vin against his. Maybe mine got extra fairy dust being built close to his. LMAO

Man your a tough judge...better put my front protectors back on....

That's covered as well. Those are transport guards and it's part of the PDI process to have those removed by the dealer before delivery.

That is what I do. Go out and try different things and try for new PB's or hopefully get close to
previous ones.
This summer I had the blower replaced under warranty. I purchased the FI spacers because I had a feeling my car was leaking past the OE gaskets. I was correct so the dealer agreed it would probably be a smart move to use them instead of the OE ones again. I don't claim to be stock only stock power. Which is not a lie. Hell you have seen me run with the rear seat out yet still have the factory compressor in the trunk. LOL

Pourquoi ?

 

[SilverBillet]

Yes but the rear seat delete and 3.09 gears weren't available in 2016.🤷‍♂️

Is the rear seat delete and 3.09 available on a later model A8 HC or just the red eye?

But, you can see my point either you wanted a bloated luxury barge, or you wanted a slightly less bloated luxury barge that you wanted to race, weight suddenly matters (because all your online friends are doing it), and are doing everything to fix your mistake.

I am ok with bloated and overweight...my wife loves me just the same...

 

[SilverBillet]

... I really don't understand how this can even be debated.

Apparently it is debatable. Not everyone’s definition of stock is going to be that it has to be 100% factory original, especially when it comes to tire brand or non-OE brake pads.

Sounded like a bad steering pump driving through the pits.

Yes they are I believe in 2019.

 

[motorhead]

Yes they are I believe in 2019.

All HC Challengers can get the rear seat delete; however, I believe the 3.09s are a RE-only option (at least according to Dodge.com's configurator).

2018 and up challengers could be ordered with rear seat delete . 3.09's is a redeye only option .

Good point. I should have added the word "logically".
