Default Dodge Hellcat runs 12.1 @ 118 today

I was watching the NHRA drag racing today and saw the guy from Fast and loud run it. He went 12.1 @ 118 in Denver. Did anyone else see it?
Pretty impressive, not sure what the DA. Must have been about 7000.

Seriously? I would have thought this car would run a lot faster with 700 horsepower...

You have to remember this is at high altitude. With such thin air it would be lucky if he it putting out 500 HP.

Obviously at altitude the FI car isn't as effected as an NA car. But that still corrects down to an 11.4 at ~125 mph.
The car isn't my cup of tea, the Challengers never have been, but this one obviously runs well.

That is damn good for Denver in the summer. A c7 is probably a high 13 second car there if it is lucky.

That track sits at 5800 ft and it was 97 degrees here today. Hard to get good times fighting those numbers. Not a bad run.

Half the threads in this section shouldn't be here. I would rather read about a cool car than the latest aftermarket product not specifically made for the Z06.

you come to the C7Z section to read about things other than the C7Z? if that ain't some weird *** Canadian logic I don't know what is....

C7Z -- C7 -- corvette -- chevrolet -- General Motors. -- Sports Cars..............filter through each of those categories and want to read about a Dodge Challenger, which fits exactly 0? you crazy, dog.

Clearly, reading comprehension isn't your strong suit.

read your own post then. do you have trouble getting your point across?

one can't tell if you are agreeing or disagreeing with the post you quoted.
what "cool car" would you rather read about? just what are you trying to say, Mr. Clarity?

it sounds like you are saying, "so what if someone posts about a challenger in the C7Z section, there are a lot of posts here that are not about the C7Z and I would rather read about other cars than tons of vendor threads about intakes that don't even fit the Z06, considering it doesn't exist."

What did you "mean" to say? I don't speak Canadian, eh.

Anybody remember how to notify the moderators so they can properly place this thread on this new dodge ? Other car section fits the bill.

Thanks in advance.

Jerri,

Scroll down to the bottom of the Z06 forum sub-section page (not this specific thread page) to right below the numbered page navigation section and you will see the moderators listed. Click on one of their names and follow the contact info to send a PM.

dont confuse citizens for their govt...even americans dont like where this country is going......besides, most of the external hate is for "the west" which includes england, canada, and any other non muslim country. everything else is political bs. and i wouldnt say canada is "loved," its easy to not be hated when you are just part of the audience. and yes i can go to cuba, just not from an american city, which is stupid. either way, i have been to cuba and it isnt like thats some huge detriment to being american.
