Never even heard of that. Knew they were retrofitting Italian gears into Muncie rebuilds but didn't know they were still developing all new design's. I got an OEM "all American" in a 1971 case, in super clean condition.....If your interested. LOL.
There was a time when it was frowned on but for a somewhat valid reason. One, the auto did steal HP and a pretty good chunk at that (TH400 on average 25+ HP loss compared to Muncie 4spd on G.M.'s) and two, the auto's weren't as strong as a top notch 4spd. (M22 "rockcrusher" was basically...
Man we must have some real couch potatoes on here. Everyone that states their weight is like 250+. Makes me lean' n mean I guess, I'm @185. But then again maybe I'm just a runt, I'm like 5' 10", maybe these guys are all NFL player size. LOL
Very weird stuff. Did a disk brake conversion on my '57 Chevy and used DOT 5 silicon. No problems. Worked perfect. Redid the car and brakes a few years later and used it again. Could not get a pedal or get it to work. Bled system with enough DOT 5 to fill a 5 gal drum(expensive). Had to go DOT...
Roger that. And I have the rear seat delete in my 6.1 which I'm going to take out and save for the RE. All those other weights were looked into when I was looking to drop weight on my SRT. I am little low on cash with the new purchase but I'm looking to the future already (like any car guy- Lol)
Honestly, I'm figuring if down the road, I do the back seat delete, lightweight buckets, lightweight battery, remove trunk back matt cover dress up thing I can get close to 4000 or under. Then if I do lightweight rims I'm even lighter. Honestly I was surprised.
Hey look, if it makes the thread more legit I'll get naked and takes pics. But then you'll have a legit title and ALOT of pissed off Hellcat forum.org members.:LOL::LOL::ROFLMAO:
Just took my no frills RE to the scales to see what it weighs off the showroom floor. With a over a half tank of fuel (@5/8's...def solidly over a half tank) I was hoping for low 4400lb range. Came back at 4280! The car has no sunroof, cloth interior, no Harmon Kardon boom box, no rain sensitive...
I just bought the RE. Why? Because I can. That's not a macho throwdown. I'm fifty four and in good shape. Have no kids. Me and my wife both work. When am I gonna do this? When I'm eighty? This car has already shown me it handles, rides, and stops way better than my mint blown 6.1 SRT with 12,000...
