So if you didn’t know my JB has no badges because they were off for PPF. Today on the highway some newer mustang(loud) wants to roll race me. He MUST have thought I was a scat pack.

I let him get the hit at 60 and as soon as he gets half a car on front I let it rip and holy shit it was embarrassing. Probably 10 cars in a matter of seconds.

so I went home. Used the race cool down for the first time since I had a race?
Oh yeah JB has 450 miles on it now. Letting it rip!

Man, when I’m driving my car no one wants to play. Guess I’ll have to go incognito for someone to the bite lol. Glad you’re enjoying the JB! Let it rip
Yeah that’s true. Not many cars could roll race and spank down a red eye.
Scat packs people still want to pick on!

Mustangs hide from my C8. It's kinda sad... because sometimes I'd really like to play, but I've yet to bait one. There's a guy that lives somewhere near my neighborhood that I see regularly. Typical Corsa piped 2017+ Mustang GT with all the plastic stick on parts, RTR grille and comically oversized 315s or larger rear tires. He tried my Hellcat a couple of times, with no success :). I couldn't drive my Hellcat without every Subie, GT, Cobra, or pretty much any car with a spoiler driven by anyone younger than 25 would try and test me. Hence that post I made about driving a Hellcat and having to exercise restraint because putting on a show for a slow annoying kid can reach felony speeds in about 3-4 seconds.

Anyhow, that same Mustang guy above, I caught alone with my C8 on the abandoned highway between Tallahassee and Thomasville GA (about 30mi or so of wide open road... at night there's nobody out there). I pulled alongside, blipped the throttle and he literally stuck his hand out the window and waved me off. I blipped it again and he hit the brakes :). Keep in mind that this is the type of Mustang dude that tailgates people in traffic to rev his engine at them to try and bully people into running him.

To date, the only car I've had mess around with me was a Tesla Model 3 from stoplight to stoplight and the Tesla must have been the long range model because it was pretty slow.

If there is a way that I can get a scat pack or a hemi badge that I can take on and off I’d do it!
Buy a set of badges, peel off the 3M tape. Then, go buy some of those sheet magnets and cut out a pattern around your badge. Glue the magnet to the back of the badge and voila. Instant removal.

Does the factory still limit power under 500 miles? Sounds like fun regardless...

good points! I think the race I want the most would be a roll with a c8. 😁

i know the c8 would kill me off the line. In a roll I think it would be a good run.

NO. AND PLEASE TELL ALL OF YOUR FRIENDS. We really need to stop with the fake news. Power has never been limited on Hellcats.

Depends on how far you take it. The C8 is godlike from 0-100. After 100, it's a dog. It literally feels like it hits a wall (mainly due to the aero profile on the car coupled with the relatively low 500hp rating). On the Interstate, a 60-roll would see the Corvette take off on the Hellcat for a car or two, then the Hellcat will quickly eat its lunch.
