Hellcat

[Russell]

What do you think about the new hellcat out of the box 670 rwhp 173.8 mph standing mile at Mojave

[Casper]

It's the perfect graduation gift.

I would say they either let out, or that car is as aerodynamic as a cynderblock with a 20ft wide parachute on the end of it. It should be closer to a 190mph car.

I'm guessing that body is not very slippery. But they might have lifted, too. I wonder if the car tends to float at speed - I'd lift too if that was the case. Off to A2 wind tunnel.......

Well, it's big and HEAVY and un-slippery, and the last number we saw on the telemetry display was 174 and then they suspiciously switched to the by-track camera....if the run was over, that was "it." It didn't look to these eyes and ears that the driver got out of it at all. I'll bet that's "all" she'll do in a standing mile. Looked and sounded like an honest full run to me.

There is a couple guys running hemi Challengers at the ECTA. As I recall they are running similiar speeds. I also wonder what the ACT is after 30 sec of WOT with the 80 hp heat pump sitting under the hood?

[Monster]

I'd like to see that drivetrain in a lakester.

Steve, I vote for you to DO that!
