Only in the sense that when they became popular I thought about renting out porta potties for the purpose.
Oh well, another money making opportunity I never followed through on.

I knew something like that. I figured I would also put the 1/1 stuff up if some were checking us out. Again, I appreciate my fellow members thinking enough of the car and me to select it for the recognition. I did uncover the front of it and congratulate it last night.

I am really motivated now to begin my winter duties on it in the next couple of weeks. I’ll start with the clay-polish-wax, then move under it to detail and then begin to touch, check and maintain as necessary every thing I can. Not too many new things this season but concentrating on getting the power to the road better and optimizing all the adjustments I have now.

Thanks again everyone, 2021 has some hope for some fast fun ahead FOR EVERYONE!
The determining factor..Those Chrome wheels combined with that regal color...an old school look that most don't do...but its a winner...all day long..well done sir..(y)

Thanks. In an ultimate compliment one of the first times to the hardware store, a guy walked in and told me what a great looking Cuda it was! Not that this guy was real good at Mopar spotting, but I politely said. thanks.

Cuda, Challenger, same difference. Both have the correct amount of doors.

I believe the front 1/4’s look nearly identical in my eye from the side.

Congratulations, DGatzby! The lustrous shine you put on your car and the great custom wheels pop. I did the full vinyl coating on my Plum Crazy Purple car, and even with ceramic coating on top (all done by a professional detailer) it will never POP with the kind of shine your, and other cars in the contest, reflects. You deserve the win.

I'm interested in the build sheet that has you 1 of 1 - your unique factory configuration. I didn't know you ordered the 3.09 rear axle option. My neighbor with his 2017 Hellcat wants to swap out his 2.93 for the 3.09. Now I know how you're registering your awesome 0-60 times.

I wonder if my car is a 1 of 1? I ordered it with everything except the option that for a regular automatic transmission Hellcat would auto-brake the car that wouldn't auto-brake a Red Eye.

$25 and I can find out!
FYI, none of these cars came with a 2.93 rear ratio. It is either a 2.62 or a 3.09.

Wow, guess I better drag myself up this morning. I was up at midnight and partied out in the garage with Freebird. The car was not too emotional, but the unicorn had to be put out in the shed. By the way, mine don’t poop or piss and never needs cleaned. The cat did piss all over the floor when I last started it, however. It’s only two ya know.

Oh, anyway, thank you everyone for voting. It is seriously a great day to be selected among the absolute best that exists folks. I try to vote every month and I am impressed with everything we all do to these things.

@vortecd I will say, that launch shot is one of the best. The big fat rears look so good with the color and stripes. I nearly voted for you!

I will represent us well. I am planning to attend several track days this year. Waiting patiently for schedules right now.

The car had an extraordinary day yesterday. @Linda's Hell Cat you get the credit for bringing me into a thread about a new suspension controller. A unit is on the way to my door right now for install. I will be giving them impressions and data about its performance. I understand I am going to be impressed. When I understand what I can post etc. and give credit to the people who are providing me this appropriately, we will have a thread. You drag racers stay tuned, I understand this gets the car rocked back better at launch and better 60’ times have been documented. Apparently Dodge has little or no control over the Bilsteins, which have capabilities nearly equal to the mag ride qualities of the Vettes. I had no idea.
That's Awesome!
I'm always looking out for ya! I know parts for the road racers are slow coming.
I will look for your results and if it helps at the 1/4 mile launching that will be cool too!

Congrats again!
Linda :)

Yes you can... in the passenger side of the front seat. Just move the seats lol the way back on the track to give you more room.

Apparently it does. They have some data already. I have been looking at what it does and I am absolutely fired up now. You can trigger it into a launch mode and they have programmed the shocks to let it rock back just for the right amount of time. They are doing some impressive stuff that could really help guys like me. It looks like I will be letting everyone know a lot more.

Silverbillet,

You are correct, sir! I should have looked that up - and I corrected my post. Thank you!
