So they are not at home in a roll race. It's all due to the factory tune. So I'm not understanding why you thought they would stand a chance. They weigh 4100+ pounds and are probably putting down around 730-760 RWHP. And even if they weren't limited by the tune thing, they still would lose. I mean, looking at the Hellcat, they make in the mid to high 600 RWHP range stock. And the ZL1 can keep up with it to a certain extent despite having about 100 less RWHP. And the Z06 straight up matches it. So mod those cars and there is no way a Demon will even keep up.
Also of note, if they are not on the race PCM, then they are limited to 168 MPH or so I believe.
I think what you guys need to do is either race one with the race PCM installed or race one with the standard PCM that has been tuned. Or race one that has a little more HP than stock. Because there is no way they're gonna beat 800+ RWHP GTs, Camaros, Vettes, etc. Even a 650 RWHP car with much less weight will give them a hard time.
I'd love to be out there with your group to see where my Hellcat stands both now and when I mod it. I'm starting off slow but I'm aiming for some serious HP numbers with an emphasis on roll racing with occasional quarter mile runs.

#1. It's the streets, so I personally had no idea if he was stock or not. Nobody does unless you know the guy. It was his 1st time out with us, so I assume he's bringing the sauce. Even at their so called stated 808 hp level at 9.9 quarter, you'd think there would be enough guts to do a 50 roll, but he prob wanted a 30 roll which is against our rules so. He'd prob be more at home on a 30. The Hellcat that was with us tho did make moves. As said, I don't really care. I just figured they'd have more fight in em. But, he was obviously stock. haha. I'm sure he went home like, wtf. I get it. It's a new group, he had no idea we was bringing the sauce so.
I have 3 tunes. My 950 street, my mid tune at 1050 and my race tune at kill at 1117. I've been going out the past month since I got my car done on my street tune. Everybody thinks I only have 950 in me. Well, I finally got my call outs and sauced em all. A GT500, built motor on 200 shot, a 1200 HP Z06 (supposedly on it's last leg, low bottle is the rumor) and a 900 Hp Coyote who has been dying to run me. I put it on em. But, I went out on my mid tune so they wasn't expecting what I brought.
I don't buy the weight argument as I'm prob around 4100 myself as I'm still a daily, plus full sound mat in the whole car, and i took off the shit stamped steel suspension for solid steel BMR stuff. I prob added 100 lbs. Plus, I'm 250. But, there are no rules on the streets so. If I lose, I can't blame it on my weight. I just need more HP. haha. Which, will be coming btw in Oct most likely as we go 427. Then the real gapping begins.
