Default Hellcat Battles Twin Turbo Corvette

I went to a track rental this past Sunday for some testing and ended up tangling with a modified Hellcat Charger. I wasn't aware how quick these cars could be with some mods.

I was working on the launch and wasn't trying to cut a light so it was a 0.2s deficit from the start. Both cars cut a 1.60 60 foot. From there, it was a race to the finish with me chasing him down right at the end. Margin of victory was 0.008.

Here are two videos to show how close it was. Great drag race!

Here's a quick pic of the vette. It made a 120 mile roundtrip and clicked off a few 9 second passes with a 6-speed trans.

If you like driving a couch... I had a buddy one time that was thinking about buying a busa with a big bore kit on it. He brought it back after the test ride and said it felt like he was on a giant couch. He didn't want to ride a couch.

My buddy had a turbo busa and it did look a lot more comfortable than my R1. Those were the good old days. 😎💰

I tuned an 09 SRT Jeep last year that ran 9.6@145.
Yep a Jeep.

Radioflyer Stealth Light Cannons. I think these are Version 1. I wish the were a little more flush to the body lines like the later versions.
