R888R on Challenger Red Eye Standard Body with 3.09s

[Magnified]

As mentioned elsewhere, put 20x11s in the rear with 305/35/20 R888Rs. Mostly uneventful install, drove it around. As I mentioned before, car is just worthless with 275 All Weather PS4s and 3.09s. I haven't used more than 15% throttle at any time. Also, the high temp asphalt used out here does not grip them; I had the rear end swing out on me routinely in plain driving, especially down town on 90 degree turns. With these R888Rs, it is a world of difference. Much more like the old HC Charger drove. I was working so I didn't play around with them but I did kick it in the slats a few times and it hooked. Admittedly, it was not at WOT or from a dig, but it was still such a vast difference that it made me smile and also decide maybe I could live with the car if I have to. It also attracted the attention of a Ford Raptor but I did not have the opportunity to show him what it would really do.

I personally feel that the 3.09s with 275 All Seasons on this narrow body car should have been disallowed. Without this set up the car is basically too handicapped to use. Now I think it'll stand a chance. When I get a chance I'll post up some of the photos.

All-season tires are a safety hazard on a 700+ HP vehicle. These cars should only come with Summer performance tires!

Here is the section we ended up cutting out of the liner, just FYI. Also, notice the seeming oil or other stain on the shock? It was not oily or greasy to the touch. Similar on both sides. Assuming it is something applied at the factory.

Looks good Mag. Normal residue on the shocks, not to worry. Go enjoy it.
