My spots 1/2 mile from home (with quick escape route back to garage if needed :) 1/2 mile of bridge, 2 miles of run out, quick turn around with out stopping, can run in opposite direction as well. I can make 4 1/4 runs in 10-15 minutes without heating up the brakes s even. I just have to quit sharing the place or it’s going to get ruined.


Need to get that trans looked at, it's shifting a little rough ..... :)

After thinking about it I too realize that almost every outing in the car I head out to one of the spots I use. Not everytime, but nearly. I don't get to drive the car nearly enough. Otherwise I'd probably have to switch my vote to "daily"

On the 170mph pass , it sounds soo cool , almost like a jet going bye.

I don't really have a spot , I know , you don't have to say it. Track Monster.

No real spot exists where I roam. I kinda addressed that in the top speed thread. Gotta go way out of route to find that kind of real estate.

Plus, my DL is tied to my income. CDL. If I got popped doing 140 in a 70mph, I'd more than likely lose my job and would have a real hard time getting hired again.

I get a lot of enjoyment in my canyon runs, believe it or not. Would love to "punch it" (as my 6 year old says every time in the Hellcat), but last thing I need is a suspended license or felony as my securities licenses could be at risk.

Getting a "Reckless" is something that is no fun for anybody...

Getting one when you drive for a living... Nope....

I’ll say it. Find you a spot. I used to have one coming in the neighborhood where I’d like to leave these long ass obnoxious stripes, but then I didn’t want to get pegged as “that guy” that leaves the long ass obnoxious stripes coming in the neighborhood lol... We have HOA. Now some camaro ss is doing it in THE SAME SPOT. Freaking douchebag! No respect!

Driving a Hellcat is a continual lesson in self control and maturity. That SC whine is always seducing me it seems.

It's not a DD so when I do get it out I rip it when the feeling is rite , not at any particular spot or when I get it out I'm going to the track anyway, lol.

No. Not yet. Between all the medical crap (kidney stones, et. al.), the businesses, the kids, etc... I have not been able to wash and at least wipe down the interior. Can't bring myself to put it up for sale looking like a dark brown tumble weed. But I really need to do it. I'm embarrassed. lol, in the old days, I washed the car (which ever one was the "shit" at that time) 3 times a week. Admittedly, no kids, no businesses (worked for Fortune 10 company), but still. I paying for a bunch of stupid shit I did in my youth.

My kids, even if we were in the Expeditions, saw some doofus getting on it would chorus "race the charger, bro"
