I can relate completely. Def wish I had've gotten into something different years ago, like engineering. BUT, I am perfectly content with some cold beers and something to mod. Long as I have those two things (and my wife of course) I'm good to go

But yea, I'd imagine the Hellcat is going to be a hand full to 60 well. But the power is no doubt there, so if traction is the only thing holding it back...well, you and I will have a long ways to go in order to keep up, lol.

Just buy and old fox or LS1 Camaro and start modding. 3 years from the hell cat will need mods to beat you. Turbo kits and nitrous are pretty cheap.

Ditto.. I have had my fun but I think I may try another line of work next year and do modding and wrenching on my OWN cars lol

As for the HellCat, I have no intentions of ever owning nor beating one.


I am getting old. I actually wouldn't mind a standard Challenger RT just to cruise around in during the summer, chillin' to some tunes with an nice rumbling exhaust in the back ground.

I thought about that too, but it would be more fun doing it in another Mopar



Pretty amazing how far performance in cars have gone nowadays.. I remember thinking the 1993 Mazda RX-7 was super fast running 13.8@100mph or even the 2001 Acura Integra Type R at 14.5@100mph was fast back in the days!

Those engineers get to have some fun. I cannot believe how many of them just toss snow tires on their cars and drive them right through the winter....
