Default STOCK Challenger Hellcat went 198.417mph

STOCK Challenger Hellcat went 198.417mph today!
Today at Kennedy Space Center during High Speed Aerodynamic Testing Session with Johnny Bohmer Racing!

2.3 Mile run on stock PZero's! Hit some debris about half way thru his run and came back with a cut sidewall and half flat rear tire! He'd have done 200 if his day wasn't cut short!

The corvette boys will eventually be here to tell everybody how they wouldn't be seen in a dodge.

ExRedRacer, you and your boys have new work below. You guys need to let all know about how your corvette is better than a HC Challenger. Turtle wax and Loyd Matts are depending on you.

I dig corvettes. Im On my third corvette...but man..I certainly can admire the new hellcat as well as the hellcat coming with the wider flares and bigger tires and wheels..

Does the dodge handle as well as the ZL1 1le ? Or the corvette? No..

Funny thing is the c7 z06 is I believe slower top end than my ls3 z51 m6 corvette but on the road course the c7 z51, grand sport and z06 are clearly the faster vehicle.

Contrary to popular belief human beings can actually admire more than one brand or one model of vehicles and still have a personal preference..

Thanks for posting up...

My corvette can only do 190 mph...I'm not a poser but to be completely open...the most I've done is a buck fifty..

I use my sports car summer winter fall and spring. I slap snow tires on in the winter months and go anywhere anytime I want using common sense of course..

I drive 12k miles a year in my sports car..

I'd imagine the hellcat can be used all year round as well.


Saving cars for the next buyer is bulls it,

This life is all about the journey we experience...not the stupid things we buy and look at.

Jmo

Congrats to the owner of that hellcat challenger

Surprises me a little, the Charger actually has a higher top speed rating from Dodge then the Challenger. The Charger is supposed to be 204 mph.

Debri and a cut sidewall at nearly 200mph? Wow....

As for vette guys not being caught dead in one....I'm a vette guy thru and thru....and I'd drive one in a Chevrolet Heartbeat.
