finally got to run a Hellcat today (sorry no vid) I had to go to Walmart to pick up a usb cord and took the ctsv wagon. I left my phone at home charging becuase it is literally 3 minutes from my houst to wm and I was just going there and coming back.
Long story short I pull into wm and reverse into the parking spot I chose. Well as I was half way backed in I caught a challenger exiting the wm......... with the Hellcat emblem uh ohhh. My immediate impulse took over and I put her back into drive and followed the guy out the parking lot. There are 2 left turn lanes and one right turn lane, he was in the middle lane getting ready to turn left, I squeezed next to him in the far left lane and begun the nice car mumbo jumbo (light was red). We agreed to do a 60 roll to 120, light turned green we made the left, passed a few cars and honked it off. Race one from 60 to 115 (traffic) he put a car and a half on me, second run 45 roll to 110 he had about a half a car and stayed there (he was spinning).
The guy gave me the thumbs up and we pulled to a gas station and bs'd for 30 minutes. I lost but did so gracefully and it was a damn fun run. He was bone stock, and I'm modded (672 rwhp 632 torque) on stock tires. My biggest enemy is my stock heat exchanger which pulls timing once the iat's reach a certian temperature (heat soaked). Once I get an aftermarket hx and pump, it will make a world of difference.
Just thought I'd share my run (of coarse no vids) of all times.

Would have thought you wouldn't have had issues with a stock Hellcat at your power level, especially with the Hellcat spinning. I'm guessing you were making much less than the 672 WHP with the heat soak.

Doesn't it suck?! I put my go pro on the car probably too much for how often this type of thing happens. Then the one time I don't or don't even bring it I run into a car that is willing to play. Can't tell you how many cars I wish I had on video.
Also, with your power I figured this would have been a win. Get those IAT's lower!
