295s on the front of a hellcat is useless as hell, the car is too heavy to track at 4400lbs and inefficient in the drags when you're supposed to run skinnies in the front.

I want to see what they do with this TA, I highly doubt they're aiming at the z28. Maybe they'll settle for a 1LE, GT PP comparison.

275 square setup - the same as the rest of the Hellcats. The only thing that is unique to Hellcat 0001 is the Stryker Red paint, that is it.

I can see a future with a 3950 lb, 515 HP/ 500 tq Challenger T/A for 47,000..and that is GOOD.

Right. If they get it under 4000lbs, strip some of the unnecessary stuff. Have a slight stagger or a square 295 setup would be perfect. Lightweight seats. No back seats. Some hood/trunk strut braces and heavy duty sways. Thing would be fun as hell to track around. My 15 SP is fun as hell in the corners as is. I'm surprised at how well it feels planted and on rails with the stock suspension. 295 super sports in the back help too. I need 275 up front and get rid of the 245 F1s up front.

245 up front!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's it
