What did you do to your Hellcat today?

Finally got around to pulling a few plugs this morning. I had expected them to be black, i get a lot of soot on the rear of the car and the exhaust pipes are black. I have never seen this car smoke and it has not used a drop of oil in 4k miles. Much to my surprise the plugs look great. Now i am thinking what i see on the back of the car may be brake dust.

Those look ok to me, but I hate trying to read plugs, I always second guess myself and seem to get it wrong.


Reading 2-stroke plugs is even worse .

My dad bought a T/A this summer and we put the z26's on it. The stock brakes were way to grippy for him. He likes the z26s much better

Exactly me too. Love the softer grip and feel of the PS pads. As important? With mine anyway, seems like they treat the rotors (on the street) so well they are certainly going to last as long as I am going to need that combo.

I HATE the feel of my brakes (massive quick grip, noise with light braking and massive dust) when I change over to the Hawk big boy pads for road racing. I drove the SRT Durango last night for the first time after driving our Grand with stock brakes for a couple of weeks in the winter up here. It HAS the PS pads on it also. Felt MORE grippy to me, must just be the big SRT brakes making that difference, my butt is that sensitive to brake feel.

Entirely normal. The black pipes? Carbon and other particulates actually condense on our relatively cold exhaust system. Ever see any of our pictures of liquid black soot on the garage floor. I call that Cat Piss. Converters produce some H2O and along with this soot shit & it drops out before coating the pipes.
