This seems about right. Hellcat was just a few tenths behind the Z06 on street tires with an even higher 60' time. Which is what I would expect since the Z06 weighs 800 lbs less. I wish the Hellcat had brought some stickies though.

Hope that was driver issues and not the TCM fix on the Hellcat times....

Fix? Not sure what you mean. But if he used traction control it would have been way slower. It did exactly what it was supposed to do on street tires with cold temps.

FIX, as in why all the cars were delayed getting a reflash, Hellcat should have posted better numbers period............

hmmm you can buy a z06 for as low as $85k which is not far off what some of these dealers are asking for the HC. just sayin...

 

[Top Cat]

392's run low 12's in hot air

 

[huggytree]

most tests have given the HC #'s like that....very few have gotten 11.2........

i know if richard rawlings would have been there he would have gotten 11.2 and kicked everyone's ass....while yelling WHEEEWWW

when you see the A8 do that bad just think how the M6 would have done?

 

[SRT_HC_707]

I don't care who one. I'll still take a Hellcat over all of the others

 

[huggytree]

will you take the HC if your driving a M6 HC and get beat by a A8 392?

0-60 i think its going to happen all the time

 

[MoparProud]

12.11 is slow for 707hp. I'll chalk it up as driver mod needed.

One of "my" requirements for the Hellcat I get is an A8... Not negotiable. With that said, if somebody wants to give me an M6 Hellcat I'll gladly take it even if I get spanked by an SRT392 A8.

No disrespect meant for anyone likes to 'row their own'. I love manuals BUT for me it's automatic all the way...

The 12 was due to traction the trap speed shows the hp which is consistent with a low 11 pass. 2 second 60fts suck, I ran 1.57 with my CTS-V on drag radials, that netted a 10.7 at 127 mph. Hellcat is right there with proper tires

Is that our own “Jerrod T” that was driving the black H/C?...

 

[hellcatfast]

the hellcat would benefit most with sticky tires because of the weight distribution, car weight and tire width advantage the vipers and corvettes have and the horsepower advantage the hellcat has

 

[Top Cat]

If your going to do a comparison they should have had the same driver doing all the runs, I would chalk it up to a driver not knowing his car yet..

 

[Fireball]

If my hellcat runs a 12 I will be pissed. My 08 ran 12.9 out the box and my 2010 ran a 12.6 out the box

 

[Dances With Empties]

Again, if that's the same JarROD that posted the vid here a while ago of himself getting spank by that juiced Camaro. It may explain things?...

Ooooo, I've seen that and it wasn't pretty,LOL

You guys are missing the big picture. Every track/location is different. As they said the cars are there same day same track and conditions. The Z06 is supposed to be a 10sec car with slicks like the HC. They almost did the same on street tires. As buddyg said the trap was almost exact as Z06. Another car could have done 12's stock on another track and day, but if it was with these cars at this place it probably would have not. Happens when I go to track all the time. People saying the track is slow when it's just the air/humidity da. Everyone can be off by a second easy.

I'd hate to see what these guys would run in 3500 DA
