I really dont know what more information you need. Im going outside to hit myself in the head with a 5lb hammer. Ill be right back. Like I said, I dont know about the hellcat. I gues i need to research my own car more, but I didnt buy it to reach an advertised speed. I stopped serious drag racing years ago, and If I ever do decide to go fast down the 1/4 again , I'll break out my big block 69Dart which its single purpose is haul ass ina straight line. Even though, it wasn't always so straight.
Probably a marketing ploy, if Dodge says hey NHRA we have a production car capable of 9.65. NHRA says we'll then you can't run at our track without required safety equipment.
