That is 100% correct. Any car I have listed in my signature was taken to the strip and run bone stock. I wanted to take my Hellcat to the strip, however the stock tires were so horrible that I didn't want to embarrass myself or the car by running mid 12 quarter mile passes. Bone stock, except for Mickey Thompson 305/20's, and in great weather I made numerous 10.7 passes. One even had a 60' time at 1.596, while most were in the 1.61-1.64 range. With drag radials, good prep, and good DA these cars launch like a beast.





Yes, the 305/20 drag radials do not look out of place. They fit and look just fine.





Yes sir, and I'm eying a Plum Crazy Red Eye when they come out.


What it appears is that Dodge is making the 2019 Hellcat kind of like a Camaro 1SS, without leather and the bells and whistles and the price has dropped around $5,000. Of course you can get one loaded out for more money which would put that Hellcat like the Camaro 2SS. I guess they want more Hellcats on the street.


Lastly, I dearly miss not having a PDR on my Hellcat. I loved that thing.

Your 10.70s show the Hellcats potential when traction isn't an issue. What I don't understand is Dodge offered the Demon drag package and now the Scatpack 1320 but nothing for the model that would benefit the most. Yet!
