Me thinks the Hellcat needs a serious driver mod....

who ever owns that hellcat needs to take it back to the dealership...that is exactly the type of person that does not need to own a 700+hp car.Quote:

:lmao:!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! That Tesla set the world record for the fastest pass by an electric car, and the Hellcat set the world record for the slowest pass by a Hellcat!!!!! To top it all off, they even red lighted! :lol:
WOW - that is some funny stuff!!
Well... that was embarrassing :chuckles:
I'll have to check this out when I get home (can't play vids thanx to work - defense work and all that)...
pretty sure my dmax would've outran that hellcat........sorry ass excuse for a driver and even worse video. 11.6 is still damn impressive but the lack of driving from the dodge owner ruins the entire video. I agree....they should drive it directly back to the dealership and trade it in on a minivan.
That could have been his first time at the track with the car... who knows. I bet no one here would be setting records if they went to the track for the first time with a 700hp car on street rubber. Pretty much every single one of us would blow the tires off or ride the clutch out like a bitch. Or maybe he has had the car on the track a few times and just can't drive. IDK but trapping 87mph, he probably gave up and was coasting.
I thought it was a bad idea to smoke the tires before a run on street rubber?
Isn't that reserved for drag rubber that gets sticky after heating?
That said, 11.6 is pretty darn impressive for an electric family sedan.
Electric motors are all about the torque...
OTOH. how many runs can it make before it's all run out?
The save the pentastar Facebook page is displaying much butt hurt over this :lmao:
speak for yourself.....I'd drive that bitch like I stole it. :DQuote:

why would you take a 700hp car to the strip on stock rubber would be my question
Which NHRA class is it that has been doing this(running on stock rubber) since the beginning of time? Is it Super Stock, or Pure Stock?Quote:

like I say....speak for yourself. If it has an engine and some wheels on it I can drive it no matter how much horsepower it has.Quote:

I think it was a mix of inexperience and operator error. Probably just wasnt familiar with the car.Quote:

All I'm saying is if you have a 700hp car that makes over 350trq at idle with street tires and you have never blown the tires off at a track it just means you don't go to the track. No one is going to launch that car in amazing fashion everytime. Except Orion of course :boobies:
The GTR's are pretty vicious with launch control on...hell, they are monsters in general. The cool part about the SRT launch control is that it acts as a stall as well. Think it doesnt engage until 3,000rpm "with an automatic" and it helps with the throttle. I'm not saying its better than a skilled driver is but this guy should have used it for very obvious reasons lolQuote:

I can also out fight, out fuck, and out fish everyone too. :DQuote:
