It says "even after 20 min" which I kind of read as "but beyond that you might have some real problems".

Where are all the owner Hellcat videos? In all seriousness, I expected strip and roll race videos by the dozen by now.

After being one of the first on here to drive it you gotta elaborate more than that man.

There's a good amount of videos on Youtube, just search "Hellcat" and select for the last week/month.

You likely will not see many, if any, videos from tracks due to the fact that it is December and the vast majority of tracks are not operating. I know here in Oregon our only quarter mile tracks (Woodburn near Portland and Champion near Medford) are down until late March/April.

Gonna be a while before we see any good videos. It's ****ing miserable here in the north east and pretty much in the rest of the northern part of the country.

If I buy one before March im not gonna be driving it around enough to break it in and then begin to pound on it until probably the middle of the summer

I searched google and youtube videos last night narrowing to 1 week but nothing new. The track and strip here are down for the year too but I'm sure other parts of the country are still going with great DAs. Big Dave just ran a best 11.5 stock ZL1. Where are the Cats?

Only took days for the Z06

The title of the vid reads, "Stock CTS-V vs Stock Hellcat Challenger"

It was just a very short 10 mile test drive, the car had the standard 275 all season p-zero nero tires and the all seasons didn't stand a chance, hopfully would have been slightly diffrent story with the summer tire option

Thanks! I may have seen it and miss remembered it, but I still say no way.

During the media event here at Summit Point the Hellcat Chargers were run hard all day back to back with little to no brake fade or overheating issues. Temps for all components were well within safe ranges and the cars delivered all day everyday over the 5 day event.

As to the magazines not duplicating published times, Dodge was quite honest about the times they issued as having been done on a real race track as opposed to a "normal" road surface. Kudos to GM for getting the times they did on a regular surface, but I think Dodge knows full well that most of the buyers of their cars will take them out on a Friday night to a dragstrip, and not just bench race on an internet forum.

Lots of bench racers around these parts.

I know its not a hellcat, but I went online to build a charger on the dodge website and was disappointed to see that they don't offer it in awd with the hemi. I was seriously considering one in the next two years. maybe its just for the first model year?

Can only get the AWD with the 3.6L V6
