Default Hellcat A8 vs. 4th gen M6

Buddy just got a 16' Challenger Hellcat A8. Soon as the news was heard I called him out lol. From what they run at the track I knew it would be fun. Those cars make awesome power but they are heavy *****. I like them. Two runs washed out. One he jumped & left me. One he spun. Two good runs. We were door to door. Bout 40-105 rolls. No winner called. The best kind of run. Fun.

No vid so I just put this here.

Good job staying with a fatcat A8, they are no joke.

Unlike the fatcat M6.

Lol. Thanks man.

I really do like those cars. I see them run low 11s @ low/mid 120s. Stock. For a bone stock car, weighing probably 4700rw, is impressive. With bolt ons deep in the 10s @ around 135mph. Fatcats movin.

Yes, I'm aware of that. That's also my local track.

My point was not to say one is better/faster than the other. Just got hit w/ a zl1 vid so I posted cat vid. I'm pretty sure the zl1 has gone 10s on a tire as well.

10.8-10.9@127-128 with DR is exactly what the stock hellcats run that I've seen here in Michigan. It was about 60f as well

Yep that's exactly what I saw at Milan one time. Perfect conditions though. Another time at Milan (average conditions) I was watching a guy run 11.1-11.2 at 123-124. Bone stock A8 with MT dr's on the stock wheels
