Even worse, it was 1st to 4th! Haha madness, skip shift eliminator was one of the first mods I did to the car. Hell didn't even need the technology, with the double overdrive and nothing fancy my 4.11 geared car will knock down mid 20's on the highway. Not as impressive as 450hp+ at 30mpg but that is where modern day has provided the miracles. :ha<br /><br />I'm waiting everyday for an Alan broken parts post to show up on Facebook......
What is skip shift? The eliminator kit is available for my car as well, but I don't even know what it is.

Yeah my friends EvoX is at about 3700ish at highway speeds...ridiculous .
To be fair his car probably revs to 8000, but yeah I remember that in my wrx. I'd have to wind it up to 4k rpm just to get the car to move.

Skip shift is this annoying ass feature on a manual car that it would sometimes lock out 2nd gear and make you go straight from 1st to 3rd. I had that shit tuned out of my GTO the first week I had it, so I'm not exactly sure when it engages. I think its when you're just putting around town slowly, some kind of EPA bullshit.

that must be why it hasn't happened to me. Apparently the previous owner had a tune done to the car as well.

I can knock down 28-30 mpg on flat ground 60-65 mph, and my car will even stay in MDS at over 75 mph. Not bad for a 447 rwhp pig of a family car.

I saw the whole top gear episode. It had pretty favorable reviews

I really should pick up a C7. So compelling, and so affordable for what you get.

I'm absolutely in love with the car right now. Totally worth it.

I saw this on corvette forums. The hellcat is a beast.

Decisions, Decisions...do I do the me thing, and get a C7 or get a Hellcat.

I think the hell cat is a great performer for the money. They're really ugly in my opinion though. That's the main reason I passed on it. I have to like the way it looks to buy it.

Good luck on getting your hands on a Hellcat....

Hmm the wheels came out so so, I like them well enough, they look better than half gunmetal half powdery paint.....

Hopefully once these tires are shot I'll be in a position to buy some BBS, Fikse, I don't know some kind of really nice wheel.

I like the way the Challenger, and Charger look but not nearly as much as I like the way the 300 looks.

I agree. The 300 is a better looking car.

The Challenger isn't an option because if I am going to put up with 2 doors I will get a C7, and my boss is getting a Hellcat Challenger which I will be able to drive. I will say though that the Challenger definitely gets a lot of attention for some odd reason. People just love the car. I also may go more luxury, and do a Jaguar XJ Supercharged.

Sadly I know quite a few local people with C7s, and a good friend has ordered one as well as someone else I know just getting their C7 Z06. One of the local C7 owners I know also has the exact same combo I would get, and it is already supercharged. if only Chrysler would make a 300 Hellcat. :(

The C7 though....such a sexy car.....makes my pants tight. Basically an exotic for the price of a Tahoe. I thought I would have a C6 Z06 by now but the C7 makes them look 20 years old.
