Remote Start...? Yay or Nay

[Jimmy N.]

Thanks, Hellcatcfp.

I originally thought white, but getting kinda tired of that color. Also, all those black aggressive looking openings on the front are really obvious with lighter colors.
Decided on "Velvet Red", which is a darker metallic, hopefully similar to what my 2001 Cherokee XJ had.
On that one, the cinder and salt mix they use on the roads here really didn't show.

Once debadged it may blend in somewhat well, and not be a ticket magnet. I hope.

@Jimmy N. - Jimmy... spend the few bucks on a set of snow tires for it and don't look back.
I'm not sure what mod for the SRT8 Jeep I liked more, the twin turbos or the Blizzacks.

I have already thought about getting some skinnier wheels and winter tires for it. Not sure what the factory tires are, other than supposedly an all-season.
They may be good (doubt it), indifferent, or plain bad. Time will tell.

Oh, and if I no longer post a few months from now (after the car arrived), they were bad, and there's a Trackhawk wrapped around a tree, or in a ravine, somewhere around here.

I fixed my first post so that it has all of the words
Also, my snows were 275/45/20, same size I run on the Hellcat. Pretty sure you can fit those on the TH wheel.

I may even go narrower than that, especially in the front. We'll see.
It's too bad that they don't share the bolt pattern with the Challenger, in which case I would've already had a set of wheels to use. Two sets, come to think of it.

I always use mine and love it.

lol, that's actually "can't you say something righteous and hopeful for a change"!

very good Fisher....you win a cookie

I figured you'd get the idea...
Of course....now I'll have to watch the whole movie this weekend....

Such a great film. In so many ways. Not the least of which is the attention to detail (even though all they had at the time was the leftover Russian modified T-34s to look like Tiger tanks).

Honestly, the 275s have been fine for me. Been running them in Buffalo winters for 6 years between the Jeep and the Charger. Much narrower on that wheel might be asking for trouble.
Having said that, as you know, the taller and skinnier you can go the better it’ll be in the snow, so use whatever floats your boat.

I'm trying to avoid float, Jack. That's why I'm looking at what's out there in narrower wheels.
A 265/50R20 on an 8-9" wide wheel, for example, would be within 0.3 % in revs per mile, using nominal sizing numbers.

Thankfully I have many weeks to dig something up...if it's even needed.
