HellCat Hype..
What do you guys think about all the hype about the HellCat??
I respect it and all, but I have always been a fan of "Built, Not Bought"..
Not gonna lie.. I am not rich by any means, but I have my targets set on the HellCat. I don't wanna just beat it off the line, I wanna leave it in the DUST.
707hp and these dorks wanna race from a roll? I have AWD bitches lol
It's called Drag Racing.. not Hag Racing!!!!

Baby steps my friend
I may be able to get a bare block for much much less than $3,000 but not a lot of builders/shops are wanting to let go of theirs...
I just been hiding away plotting and probing ( mostly probing lol )
Even if I run all motor with the stock 392 heads and forged pistons for a while, low 12's is better than low 13's... and still much less than a 392 long block ( $10k/w core, zoinks! )
From what I seen, the HellCat's can't launch for shiet off the line. Lots of rich folks up here ( oil companies ) gonna scoop these up I bet. I seen a bunch of 392's, GT500's and SRT's for sale up here already.. looks like they're trading up!

you're kidding right? my car isn't worth anything now, let alone 10-20 years from now lol.. once enough dealerships offer you $20k for your one year old car ( ouch!), even if it's a base model I expected a little more than that... other options tend to pop in your head
I seen a lot of videos on youtube Lately on HellCat's.. I wish they lived up to the hype.. unless the drivers just suck lol
I am a big fan of them, don't get me wrong..

Here's my take on the Hellkitty. Its a 700hp car. It weighs as much as a truck. Meaning its a very tough car to get the numbers and runs out of it that its actually capable of. You take 95% of the drivers buying these Hellcats, put them in a stock Mach 1, and I guarantee you they won't be able to break into the 13s much less run the low 13 a Mach is capable of. So, you can imagine what a disaster it is putting them behind the wheel of a 700 hp car that isn't exactly known for hooking even in the SRT version with 200hp less. Put an experienced driver behind the wheel of one of those things with a decent tire under it and they'll live up to the hype.

Man, I think if I could have the car for a couple months, make a few trips to the track and learn the car, AND had at least some drag radials I could replicate that 11.2 Hotrod mag ran. I'd like to think over time I'd be able to crack a 10.9 glory pass. I'd never leave it as a drag radial only car though. I'd pull as much weight as I could and get some proper drag wheels on it asap, run some mid 10s.
What do you think, could you get a 10 out of it?

Here at Atco I think I could run high 10 on a tire just because it's a fast track. There would be a learning curve for sure but that's the fun of racing. Figuring everything out.
