Hellcat is 3.6 to 60 and the Z51 is 3.7 to 60. The vette is much easier to launch, well balanced with enough tire to plant its power.

ANY 650+ HP car is going to be hard to launch correctly with the factory tires.

A set of sticky 315 DR's on a A8 Hellcat is going to be murder on the street..

The biggest upgrade to the Hellcat before a tune or pulleys is going to be DR's and when those 1/4 mile numbers come back some are going to say "oh but it is Modified"
I don't see tires as a mod as much as some do.

The Hellcat twins won't even need DR's. Challenger 11.2s, Charger 11.0s on stock tires. NHRA certified.

On the street they will on order to get close to those times

You better bring a 55 gal drum of VHT with you to duplicate that.

I'm sure that was a very sticky prepped surface for those times.

To me, tires are not a mod, they are a wear item that is replaced several times during the life of the vehicle.

IMO anything that's done to a factory ( STOCK ) car taken straight off the lot and modified in anyway to achieve better times is a modded. All though I'm up in the air about something like tire pressure. Is that modding?

I agree 100%. This isn't the SVT site. DRs are a mod, if they didn't come standard on the vehicle when purchased new they were a modification. I see this all the time on the other site, owners claiming record stock times failing to mention that the pass was on DRs, or lightweight wheels and DRs. With a high HP car like a Hellcat or 13/14 500 DRs/wheels, could be a huge advantage and might be worth as much as 6-8 tenths.

Removing the paper floor mat covers the dealer puts in? Weight reduction mod!!

cool..the red brick will pretty much domiinate anything stock @ a straight mile or over. Reminds me of my 6.6L 455 cu in I had growing up, slow at the line but catch up/pass I did.

Hate to correct you.... but: 6.6L = 400 CID

I still love seeing that the Hellcat is being run against the stingray. Sure it's only a straight line, but what else do you need a car like this for?
