We don't actually know, he just bought it about a month ago. The guy he bought it from says 650whp but I personally thought that was a little high. But every day just about it we find something new that was done to the car.

Gotcha. Sounds like he was short shifting maybe? If so im betting it really is around 650 rwhp based on that run

Yeah he definitely short shifted. His car is scary to ride in for sure. Gotta give it to the Hellcat, it was a blast to drive. Has all the speed and power with a lot of comfort.

If its tuned for 93 pump gas the tuner probably left it around 600rwhp for safety. That's usually the limit without meth.
