The release of the 2015 Dodge Challenger lineup. Here is the SRT Hellcat, 6.2L Supercharged,8 Speed automatic (707HP, 650lbs-ft) at Portland International Raceway -

"These are a couple of fun laps as I was playing with the paddle shifters in the car. As you will see there are a few mess up's on my part, but overall the system shifts very quick, precise and is really enjoyable to use. For those of you who know this track, you will also know that 141mph on the back straight, in a street car...is fast. The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat specs and price are also impressive."
It looks like the car is pulling incredibly hard on the straights. While it may not be able to enter the corner as hard as a ZL1 or Z/28, it may be able to make up time on other sections of the track. Should be interesting to see the results.

Exactly my thoughts and what I've said before. I highly doubt this is going to corner like the ZL1 or Z/28 but it very well may make up for it on straights.

Curious what the 60' was. Probably a lot of wheel spin.

I'll let you know how it compares to my ZL1 this Thursday. I'm scheduled on the 23rd for the media test drive.

Really???? You cant be serious right? Please tell me you don't think you can get close to the times they ran at 1500+ DA in some DA that was most likely around 7000+..............From what I have seen, ZL1's and GT500's don't even come close to that at Bandimere. By the way, it was 118 MPH not 113......

I'm not sure the exact time of day they ran, but I did a quick DA calculation, if he was at perfect DA of 0, he would have ran about 11.4 @ 124mph

To put that in perspective..................

A ZL1 Camaro would probably run 13.5@100mph in that same crappy air way above sea level...........

I think he was just pointing out it is the same two guys, driving the same two cars at the same track that appeared in the 10.85 sec promotional video.

Interesting that they chose a venue that would decrease the power output ~100 HP
