I have had a frostbite RedEye on order for a few weeks now and its scheduled delivery window is now April 10 - 24. Probably won't be the 10th because as of yesterday it was in Wyoming on a Rail Car heading to California.

I sold my Demon because I was disgusted and fed up with the Stock Demon group. So I needed to divorce myself from that whole deal. Make a big change and never look back. I was seriously considering buying a 2020 ONE SEAT Scat Pack 1320. It just so happened on the day I went to order there was a glitch in the system so I ordered a RedEye instead. Good thing too, because the RedEye was built and shipped and I am pretty sure no 1320s were scheduled to be built yet. So I would have been waiting MONTHS due to Coronavirus.

My plan for this car is to go as fast as I can with reasonable and tactful weight reduction. Also weight reduction that is affordable. So that will leave out things like lightweight brake rotors (unless I get a sponsor). I want them real bad but the reduction to cost ratio is not that good. I am hoping for high 9's in substantially negative DA. I honestly do not think this car will be as light as my Demon was but many of the RedEyes have put up very good times for what they were at the time. So we will see if my car can further that trend.

I ordered a Base RedEye.

We're almost twins. LOL. Except for 3:09 rear, also contemplating a lot of same mods. Btw, I took my RE to the scales and it weighed 4280 all stock with 1/2 tank + of gas. I think you'll be surprised how 'light' it is (If you consider anything 4200+ light)

So you had rear seat delete group and the Pass set was in at the time? If that is the case I will not be all that much heavier than the Demon was. Maybe 40 pounds heavier. I can't wait to get everything done and weigh it with the race wheel/tire setup.

No, no,no. I meant the color, wheels etc. are so similar they almost look identical. I have a rear seat delete kit in hand I'm going to install soon. I have pass seat and back seat in car now, and with those and a FULL 1/2 tank (1/2 tank plus) it still weighed 4280, so unless I have a freak with very little seam filler or something unusual, you should be in very good shape.

My was was 4450 and I have regular radio, no roof, full interior, plus group, upgraded leather, driver convenience, Uconnect, technology group...think I had a half tank, maybe more...

Makes some level of sense, those options don't come free, either in money, or weight...

I have stripper model with no roof and cloth interior. Still, I wouldn't think the leather and electronic extras would be another 170lbs. but maybe so.

I'm an eternal goof and I know it.

Now we're talking. Can't wait to see how it goes. How much does your race tire/wheel setup weigh? I've been looking for a reason to replace my cheap Race Star Dark Star 18x5 fronts with M&H 28x4.5 front runners but they only weigh like 38lbs each and so far I've not found anything better.

Thanks, I'll look in to those. I don't street drive on the drag pack setup either, but I kinda like the M&H tire for the weight of the Hellcat. I'll go back and check my notes on differences in wheel weights but looks like 5lbs from memory which is a lot actually.

Luckily my Weld 17x10 RTS or whatever they're called fit on the rear. They're light and a nice wheel (but pricey). It's all that was available back on 2010 for the Challenger. With a 28x10 Hoosier slick mounted the weight was 42lbs total. I think it was 7 or so pounds heavier with the MT ET Street R DR on there.

Edit, went back and got the video where I weighed everything. Weights start about 6 minutes in.

Hoosier 28x10 Slick 18lbs
MT ET Street R 305/45R20 30lbs by itself
Weld 17x10 RTS 20.5lbs

Congrats on the new Redeye. When this sad boring time is over we should get some track time in together. I’m about 1 hour away from AAA speed way in Fontana. Their events are shut down right now but private track rentals are still available.
Maybe we can get some other cats together to reserve track rental. Lol I gotta get some seat time in my cat.
