Why is your clutch wearing out so soon? I used to get 70k+ out of my OEM Evo clutches.
"routine maintenance" "Timing Belt"
It was originally designed for the Viper, which has less torque and weights about 1,000 pounds less as well. But, it was the strongest that Dodge had so, in it went. The fact that it's a warranty replacement helps, but for any serious driving I'll need something stronger. Normal cars definitely don't have this problem. My Subarus went 100k+ on stock clutches. But, the HC is a fat bitch.
I just lucked into the sweetest fucking Infiniti m35x. Its a 2007 so it was Infinitis flagship that year, it has a 160k on it, but it is literally pristine inside and out. The 6 disc cd changer is lol and no AUX hook up, but other than that for 7,000$ I feel like im driving a 40000$ car.
I owned a 2003 Infiniti g35 for 12 years so I wanted something similar. Its the same color just waaaaaaay better. All wheel drive when senses slip but rwd otherwise. What an amazing ride.
I know the specs haven't been totally revealed but what are your thoughts on the new Demon?
On the fence. It'll cost far too much and dealers will add crazy ADM over sticker. I don't really like the hood all the much. And, one of the great joys of the Hellcat, is it's a perfectly cushy cruiser and GT car when that's what you want with awesome tech. The Demon is probably going to be stripped out a little and have more compromises.
The only thing I'm jealous of is the wider tires for traction. Otherwise, the power boost (it's likely to have 850hp) is easy to attain on the HC with a pulley swap and a tune.

Great take. I like the fact that I can throw the family in the car and cruise around town for soccer and the mall, but if I want to open it up when they're safely at home I can =)
Still loving the Daytona, not sure I'd step up to the HC. I appreciate nice cars, but I'm far from a car enthusiast, and I'm just not sure I'd be able to take advantage of what the HC offers let alone the Demon.
Thanks for the reply.
No need to have a HC, honestly. I did it for myself after a divorce and a move. Said "fuck it" to professional appearances (financial advisor and I roll up in a bright red noise machine with a license plate that says EVLKITY) and I just have fun. A Scat Pack is even too much for most, with 485hp. The 5.7 is a great all-around car for the family, for long trips (really nice mileage for what it does) and it's plenty quick.
Sounds like Porsche should be eating that bill.
Your HC is stock and killing clutches in 10k?! I assume you're tracking/racing the car?It was originally designed for the Viper, which has less torque and weights about 1,000 pounds less as well.

Awesome find. Every once in a while, people come across a gem like that. It may have only cost you $7k, but you ARE driving an expensive car (the CD changer is pretty funny though, these days).
