On the street you should be well under 12 seconds on a clean surface with the summer P-Zero Pirelli. At the track on prep below 11's stock.

My buddy has a 2020 narrow body, his best is 11.10 on pirelli street tires. I was told the Widebody is .20 slower than narrow body. Just wondering is anyone is breaking 10.99 stock?
No, the standard body is quicker. The widebody has more weight and aero drag. Those 305s don't give all that much more traction, and not enough to offset the weight.
As for me, 10.86 bone stock on a drag radial. 2020 Challenger skinny cat. I have never and would never track street tires on a drag strip. I don't like the wall. It hurts.
Many of us junk the Pirrellis before we get to 1,000 miles. I tossed mine at 140 miles
I made tire swings out of them. BRAND NEW TIRES. FWIW, I painted this with exterior paint for the sole purpose of it being a decorated tire swing. This would look silly on a purple car 
Back in December 2017 Jay ran 10.97 in Maryland. He was the first to do so completely stock as delivered.
In November 2018 I ran 10.937 3x here in Quebec.
Obviously by the year these took place both cars are normal bodies.
Cold dry weather and a gentle right foot is required.
Normally a 11.1 like your buddy ran is better than most can accomplish.
A word of caution, Do NOT turn everything off with the SRT button ever, unless you want to go drifting.
With all due respect, numerous sources, including Dodge themselves, state that the Hellcat Widebody Challenger is quicker both 0-60 and 1/4 mile than the standard body. Just do a Google search and there are multiple sources. What you are saying makes common sense to me too, but it’s not borne out by the numbers.
Dodge also puts Pirrellis on perfectly good new Hellcats too.

I have P-zeros on my Cat and they seem to have pretty good traction. Sure they’re not as good as a drag radial but I guess it depends on the drivers abilities
Sure, any decent driver can adapt to the car's potential. The Pirellis just lower that potential. The PZero is a budget bin tire that manufacturers get from Pirrelli for just about $100 per tire. That's the only reason they're there. If anyone says they're good tires, they likely don't know what a good tire is.

Advertised?…. I think they advertise the Redeye at 10.80, however guys are getting 10.50 with the Redeye. The 717HP model is advertised as 11.35 and best Ive seen personally was 11.10 stock

Wow! I was going asked the same question, but a little different. I wanted to post has anyone with a None wide body 2019 and up Hellcat Challengers and Chargers with drag tires and aftermarket drive shaft reach high 10s or low 11s. I might be wrong but it seems to me that older Hellcats are faster then the newer Hellcats. I haven't seen any 2019 and up Hellcats reach high 10s or low 11s with drag tires and aftermarket drive shaft. I've only seen them in high 10s and low 11s with a tune and other mods.

High 10’s is definitely possible. My friend has a stock 2020 Challenger Hellcat narrow body, ram 11.10 on perreli street tires. He was feathering the gas pedal through 1st & 2nd with some wheel spin
With a drag radial and good air quality the car will easily pick up a couple tenths. Should find out next weekend as we are going to the track weather pending. Mopar Day at St Thomas Raceway and they are running a Hellcat class

Widecat21 can you post a time slip. I've never seen a in the high 10s. Only Hellcats Redeye in the high 10s or 10.50 on drag radios, but mainly high 10s in cooler weather.

As I said, best I’ve seen personally was 11.10
If he can break 10.99 or better next weekend I’ll be sure to post his time slip 👍🏼
You need to come east to run a good number 😉
