Really? Drag radials, stripped interior, race gas, fudging numbers, all quick ways to deceptively yield quicker times.

I'm more concerned about what they
failed to disclose. Are the results repeatable?

Which is why I posted times for the ZL1 and GT500 too. What do you think the ZL1 or GT500 would run on a well-prepped track?

The 12.1 trapped at 126 MPH, which indicates traction was an issue from the start. That means that 2 out of the 3 runs on a track were within the realm of Dodge's stated times for stock tires, one within 2/10ths slower, one the same delta faster.

There have been far more than three Hellcats at drag strips in the last 6 months. Where are all these basement 11 timeslips hiding???
Of course traction is an issue. It's a 700hp car on 275's. Another testament to Dodge's failure to provide a proper platform for such power.

NONE of the times below are on a prepped surface. ZL1 and GT500 times are even better on a prepped surface. What's your point?
