This has been a highly discussed topic, but supposedly this car is only running drag radials and racing fuel – but our question is why is it running race fuel if it doesn’t have supporting mods (tune?). This Challenger is certainly fast, but we still don’t buy it. We are skeptical about the car picking up 7-9 mph and knocking a full second off the ET with just gas and tires.

We can’t see an ECU freeing up enough timing on it’s own, with just 109 race gas – to make a 4645lb car (driver included) go 7MPH faster, and a 1/2 second faster in the 1/4 mile. It would have to gain nearly 90-100HP at that weight to get there.

Either way you look at it, the Hellcat is an amazing machine, and Dodge certainly has everybody’s attention with the Hellcat.
