What did you do to your Hellcat today?

[MikeD1]

I waited for a few months after they fixed the glitch in the software update that was part of the recall & had mine done. Have had zero issues.

Cat got an alignment + brake fluid flush/change yesterday. They tried to fix the weird 'rubbing' sound @ low speed coming from the steering column but no joy on that .

They applied the TSB that called for lubing the boot & steering shaft where it meets the firewall. The Tech agreed that the noise was coming from inside the car and said most of the time that fixes the issue. He suggested I drive it for a while and give the grease time to work itself in & see if that makes a difference. Next step is to tear into the rest of the column, tilt pack & wheel - he didn't seem too eager to go down that path & neither am I. At least they didn't charge me anything for the effort !!

If it is a polymer, then silicone spray works well, if you can get it where it needs to go. Maybe put a carburetor cleaner nozzle and stem on a silicone can, maybe even attach a tube? I would even drill out a nozzle to fit a tube!

Took the M6 out for some spring exercise. I leaned on it on a entrance ramp in 2nd. The rev limiter is still working.

Not today, but it sounds like this?

It was 60 and sunny. Put about a hundred miles on it today. First, went to our Sunday car-guy breakfast, then visited a few friends and gave some first-time HC rides, in the afterrnoon.. The car was enjoying it, also....

Took the Kitty for a proper road test post-valve cover project - 2 cemeteries, freeway cruising, a little around town, ice cream, and A/C on.

Total ear porn! Reminds me of that 50's Jerry Lee Lewis song "whole lotta shifting going on". At least I think that's the name of it.

Finally say I took the kitty out and went to church. Nice blast there and back. Really miss that whine. 😪 All my friends knew I was coming before I got there. Outstanding. Such a blessing to have, see people in their beaters and feel funny having such a nice car sometimes.

Went to New England Dragway, purple was the color of the day:

Boy ...a supercharged M6...no better sound on the planet...

The Granite ones are probably no faster than the equivalents in other colors, but Granite sure seems to be the color of choice for going fast - and without collecting tickets.

Proven scientific fact..good for .0065 in the quarter...has to do with ultra violet rays and it's drag coefficient...now shut up..and TRUST THE SCIENCE

I don't really know what to say other than that I'm grateful. For anyone following my saga found in the thread "hellcat down" this day has been about 2 years, 2 engines, and a transmission in the making. It's been a very rough road personally and financially with this car and seeing it all come together finally with two of my original track friends, Rich and Stan made me appreciate that it's really in the folks you meet. Special thanks to Jon Moored on the keys, Dave Starne's for the performance trans rebuild and Jim Schmittinger for building me a kickass 426.

There's a lot left in the 60 foot, I look forward to trying to wring all that I can out of the launch as I get more seat time. But, for now, I'm extremely happy to finally have achieved what I originally set out for and most importantly, to have driven the hellcat home on its own power without issue after a track day for the first time since 2023.

Ps @Linda's Hell Cat I need a 9 second banner please

Congratulations! 9sec banner done!

Happy to hear it was nothing major in the engine! Very interested to see pic's of the carnage.

Those things will melt and can become a problem. This SOB took down my SC then the rest of the engine on the road course. 2019 RE. I do not use CATS off road any longer.
