Thread: Challenger Hellcat

707 HP, huh? Minding my own busniess (seriously, this time) cruise set at 67 coming down 231 in the Goat, I glance to the rearview and see a snot Green Challenger coming up fast in the left lane. Whatever. 10 seconds later, I glance again and can only see the scoop of his hood directly behind me- I immediately thought- Oh hell yes- Hellcat. He immediately bolts around and to my left, where her continues to bounce on and off the throttle, almost Mustang dickbag worthy. I had already flipped on the bottle heater and arming switch so now I'm just playing the waiting game... Fortunately it was warm so 900 psi came quickly. I gave him the fingers forward to hit it, and he did. 10 cars on him to roughly 140 and tires on fire. I was laughing so hard I had to pull into 231 plaza to wipe the tears from my eyes. He followed and exclaims "That thing is built!" I said yeah, in Australia, cam only 5.7. I heard those make 707 HP, I'm just wondering where you hid the big anchor?


I am so going to hell.

Hahahahaha!!!!!!!!

Great kill, honestly I don't see what's so impressive about the Hellcat to begin with. I'd imagine that a blown 6.2L V8 could do a lot better than 700HP...

Yeah yeah I know, OEM restrictions and all that.

I saw one run a healthy 04 rcsb Silverado from what I could tell. He got his feelings hurt too. I tried to convince myself the Hellcat wasn't giving it 100%, but the exhaust sounded otherwise. I have yet to see one at a track in person to see how well they seem to run with limited variables, but I am not surprised you took him that bad.

the C7 Z06 is still way faster for the same price range.

Only by a few tenths.

I'm not a Hellcat fan, but I'm not on the C7 bandwagon either, especially with that LT4 business.

Not that you ever ask a legitimate question without intentions of trying to stir sh!t you can't understand, but 150. It's a single stage NX 62/35.

Had to snicker a tad

Buddy here at work has a HellCat on order; he sold his modified Z06 to get it. Should be interesting when it arrives.

4400~ to 3500~...it's quite a bit I'm sure. I love all the people that thing the GTO's are SO HEAVY, when in reality they really aren't. Just are physically large looking cars.

LOL, Hellcat's are Titanic turds.

Just because they run basement 11's at the strip doesn't mean they'll roll out on the street. A sprayed goat will run it's ass off on the street. Just because it makes 200~ less horsepower doesn't mean jack.

Welcome to the world of power to weight ratios, correct gearing, and the driver mod.
