What did you do to your Hellcat today?

[1971demon]

Pulled the wheels and cleaned the inside of the rims and the wheel wells today. Whoever put these brake pads on this thing needs to be sent to prison in a white prom dress !
I need to upgrade to Z26 pads.

Do it TODAY...you will not believe the difference

As long as you never need to do extreme breaking!

FYI, For those who doubt this... THIS is the consequence of Z26 pads at the Colorado Mile

After the 204.980 1.5mi run, the rotors had some color (OEM Brembos). And I am very gentle on the brakes, as much as possible.

That's a different kind of ugly, given the two choices, I'd rather have yours over the heat checking that mine had...


That picture is what made me go down the rabbit hole that ultimately became CDT Rotors...

Not sure what you mean, but I'd like to hear the story!

The short, short, SHORT version is that I bought Demon Performance rotors to replace the roached OE rotors, saw a big improvement (along with the lighter wheels and tires that I also bought) and thought that I could do MUCH better than the DP rotors for weight reduction...

(Which while they are a decent rotor, but I ended up cracking one with only street driving, which they happily replaced no questions asked...)


I guess that's why they say, "If it was easy, everybody would be doing it..."

Exactly why I did a DCS2 instead of aftermarket! Easy, though expensive, but my car still runs like a champ! It was a risk vs. reward decision.

I have very high risk tolerance, but that ended when I witnessed multiple modded RE's meltdown. Absolutely horrible to see, feel awful for what these guys went through, and it scared the crap out of me!

I understand what you're saying, but I've seen 100% HC motors go too...

I don't like the way either set of those rotor's look TBH. I have a lot of material left on my pads, so i better get used to cleaning dust for a while. Guess next bad weather day might as well put this thing on stands an see what else under there needs cleaning.
DCS2 = ?
No idea what a RE is either ?

Agreed...


And you're joking about the RE thing, right??

I always wondered what kind of cat our cars were. Looks like cheetah

I got the RE but still confused on the DCS2
