Anyway - awesome car. Do you track/drag race it at all?

LOL, I'll check the data at home, but I believe two were sold in the states and the other two were sold overseas. I have not put this on the track, it's my daily driver. But now that I have the Mazdaspeed, that will be my daily.

Here's my VIN break down. They didn't sell many Hellcats in 2017, probably ramping up for production of the 2018 wide body Hellcats and Demons.

@Devilbrad that's really cool. I didn't even know they sold hellcats outside of the US... looks like half of them actually :shock: I stand corrected :)

How's this monster feeling behind the wheel, and where do you get to exploit all it can do?

My "daily" driver's this:
IMG_20150408_194328224_zps5pctzcqy.jpg
I actually do very low mileage with it: I use public transportation most of the time. So it gets less than 5kmiles/year, so they'd better be fun: the car has a mild tune with the turbo blowing to 1.6bar, the engine management system is optimized for 99RON fuel (not 98, but 99 - I usually refuell with shell VPower 100 but we tuned it around 99 as you cannot find the 100RON everywhere in switzerland let alone in Europe) and a couple of reliability-oriented mods. I often I take it for a 2-3 hrs spirited drive during the long spring-summer evenings, once the kids are in bed and the wife is lobotomizing herself infront of the TV, I go across a few of the passes I have within 50km of where I live. It got a set of new Michelin PSS two weeks ago, then I took it for a spin and at 11:30pm, in the middle of the mountains, and I cooked the brakes because the PSS are so darn sticky :mrgreen: so now it's expecting its new pagid RS19 pads and its brembo rotors before the next spirited run :mrgreen:

Love the scooby!!!

Cool Scooby!! The Hellcat is fun! In a straight line, LOL Not much room to open her up here in San Francisco. There are several tracks within a couple hours, I just haven't gotten to one yet. Need some sticky tires and it should be good for low 11's in the 1/4 mile. Here are a couple videos on Facebook. One of the cold start idle and the second video is after I installed a cold air intake. You can really hear the supercharger scream!

Love the oval window! I used to be into air cooled VW's back in the late 80's/early 90's. That throttle cable setup is pretty cool!
