Default Hellcat goes 11.7

Hi Everybody,

Two reliable magazine sources posted 11.7 for the Hellcat. MT listed the trap speed at 125. Maybe its just me, but it sounds like Dodge has put a new meaning to the word "hero run" with their 11.2(street tire) and 10.8(slicks) claims. Trap speed is still there, but this is basically a c6 zo6 in a straight line that can't do anything else near the ability of the zo6.

Oh yeah that was base car street tires and no z51...

Anyways I'll sit back and grab the because we know every c6z06 is a high 10 / low 11 second car no matter the driver or the track prep.

Did you mean to replace c6 zo6 with any V8 mustang ever?

Traction is the name of the game with that car. It will a contender from a roll. A 125 trap is plenty to run 10s with enough tire.

IS this really C6 related? I could care less what a fat Dodge runs. Let the Mustang and Camaro boys worry about it.
