I run the 305/35R20 Nitto 555RII on the street. They do decent in warm weather but I'm not launching from every red light. I've got timing dialed back in the upper RPMs on my street tune to not make as much horse power as my race tunes. No need to beat on the car on the street and it still makes a ton of power even dialed back.

I’ll be going to the r2 after these wear down for the street. I just want a tire I can hit it from
About 40 and still go in the straight direction 😂

I can roll in to it in 3rd and it'll usually hookup in warm air. It might move around a bit but not like outta control. Yours is making a tick more power than mine so you may have to go to 4th for that roll in but I really like the 555RII on the street and they last a decent amount for me as well.

Ya. I old car I used to hit it 40mph in second and it went. This car I did 40 in third and steered and pedaled it and kept it on the road 😂 the sales guy was nervous and didn’t expect it I don’t think.
But anyway what’s the fastest time with a car seat in the back 😂

Is your passenger seat powered? Teresa had issues with the baby seat on the passenger side, the seat wouldn't lock. I'm sure some baby seats fit better then others

Not power. I haven’t tested with the baby in the seat yet. I’ll let Amanda deal with that tomorrow

Just need to make sure the seat locks. It won't if it is to far forward

Teresa has driver power seat and is short so she was putting the seat behind her

No Challengers have a power passenger seat. I guess because it needs to move forward for backseat access?

Put a towel or something alike under that base so that you don’t crease the leather (also will help absorb any spiller milk/crumbs. You’re supposed to strap that base in pretty tight and it can stretch the leather.
I also threw mine in the center rear seat (if you’re ever running with a passenger) as the front of the car seat will have a little more room in the arm rest area vs having to move the passenger seat more forward.

it cracks me up we are having such good convo on this but the car seat we have is slightly to wide. So neither the driver or passenger seat could go back very far. I am going to move it back to the passenger side. We have another car seat we think may work better in the middle tho so we may also try that and see. Zayden took his first ride In the redeye tonight. Meeting @vortecd for dinner.

Should post a pic of the young man in the car. It’d be cool. But I get it if that’s too personal.

We have to do that with our grandson in our Jeep GC. The car seat goes behind the passenger and wife and I have a routine of putting the seat forward for entry and exit. Slide it back until it touches the car seat for travel. At least it’s powered.

You need to take more pictures so when he gets older and you post a pic online and he can say "I don't remember that day":LOL:

Yeah & he'll probably say, "what is a Hellcat?" & "Why are they sooo loud & the cars today are sooo quiet?" :LOL:
