The Official Original 170 Thread

[DRAGRCR]

I had to search for this one.........

 

[Speedy!]

I was pleasantly surprised how well the 170 drives when I got mine. I was very worried I wouldn't like it, and for what it cost LOVE it, but figured I could sell it if I hated it.

It drives better on the street than my Hellcat did, and is faster and easier to go faster at the track. Kinda crazy honestly.

I've got Michelin PS4 tires on the back of mine, I can't remember the size but I think they're OEM on some Porsche SUVs. It hooks SHOCKINGLY well and the traction control programming seems a lot more advanced than it did in my Hellcat. I see Mr. Squiggles blink here and there at WOT but I never "feel" it lose power like I did in the Hellcat. I asked Jim Wilder about that and he said "the calibration engineers worked a long time on that".

I've not noticed the gears holding a higher RPM.....maybe I thought it's due to the 3.09 gears. 4,000 miles on mine now.

If they were available at MSRP without all the overpriced options, I think they would have sold a lot of them. But I guess the clock ran out and they just got the most they could from what they had left. The entire HC saga is a sad story...

With the ET Streer R's the speed limit in medium rain is 45. With the OEM Version I would think it would be higher. Maybe 55-60. I posted a video driving my 18 DEMON in the rain and the car consistently lost traction at the drive wheels above 45. I think I had 315/50's on there at the time.

The OEM Fronts look flat at 32-35PSI. I put them up to 50 and they look better and the car drives much better. But they are soft and will ge cut by road Dabris a lot easire. One of my rears has a chunk out of it that is superficial. OEM fronts are HEAVY. They weigh as much or nearly as much as an 18 OEM front. It's crazy. Jim Wilder showed me on his Phone what 2 tires they were derived from and they liked the way the heavier tire drove. I would never race on them but they are not bad for the street.

I rarely drive on the street anymore, but will try ECO if I do.

500 miles on the first motor. 500 miles on the second motor. 500 miles on the new Diff. I also put 500 miles on my first 2 D170's, #1660 and #151. So I have seen a decent amount of street miles ENJOYING every mile to the max. #151 I put the 500 miles using my Race wheels and tires because that car came with CF wheels (which were the nicest OEM wheels I have ever had).

Do you use the default transbrake torque profiles at the track?

Are you sold on transbrake over foot braking?

I'm at almost 900mi now, so it'll be a couple of weeks before I get the track. I want to prepare.

Thanks.
