Yep, just tires on the 10.62. I don't think the DA was anything crazy, but the driver is accustomed to the track for sure. He's done VERY minimal mods (pulley, 3.09 rear, injectors, tune) and runs 9s on pump gas now at nearly 140MPH. He gave me a new target though with that 10.62 LOL and agree that's a smoking fast time. My old Challenger ran a best of 10.850 at 128 so if I can best that in the Hellcat with just tires I'll have met my personal goal.

The ZL1 is an awesome car no doubt about it. I seriously considered it, and would have probably gone with it had the HC not been discounted heavily. Dodge WAY over produced 2016s and they went for $10K+ off sticker after sitting on lots for several months. While brilliant at engineering and marketing, the business couldn't have screwed up more if they tried. Under produced 2015s causing massive price gouging ($20K+ ADM) then turn around and flood the market in 2016 leaving cars to languish on dealer lots. To add insult to injury, after touting the 3300 Demons that will be built making this sound "rare" less than 3,000 Hellcats were produced in 2017, so again the business gives their customers another black eye. Hey, at least it allowed me a killer deal on my 2016, but I'd be really pissed off had I payed MSRP let alone ADM. Some guys are glutton for punishment I guess as they're going through it all over again on the Demon.
