Buddy bought a Hellcat and talking Smack

So yeah I already know who will win this race in a straight line based on my current build.

What exactly is on deck for further mods to smoke stock HCs on a regular basis?

Hell Cats are low 11 second cars @ 125-126mph. Your Whipple setup should have him covered.

And remember Rob, He bought it "USED"??? Why???
It was probably traded in for a Camaro...LOL.

Good to know thanks, he's also around 600lbs heavier which the extra HP kind of becomes a wash. I only have 3 passes at the strip so far and getting better with stick I'll be in the 11s next season.

With your weight advantage and good HP that should be great race vs a stock Hellcat. I would think you would pull on him.

If the Hellcat is Auto your going to lose most likely dig or roll. 6 speed might be a drivers race. My friend owns a auto charger hellcat and I got him by a car from a roll 45-150 ( we ran 3-4 times not just once )
Haven't done a dig race, waiting until I beef up the axles lol . Those Auto kitties are quick , 6 speed I see a lot of room for error .

Just do some more mods to ensure he can’t beat you

I raced a new hell cat when I was only at 3psi and e85. I beat him by 2 cars doing a 30-120. I think I got most of that 2 cars right when we hit it and he didn't pull back at all.

I felt kinda bad, he still had in transit plates.

80sMetalDude · 10-12-2017, 04:36 AM

It's a 6 speed so lots of wiggle room for error but then again mine is a 1LE so lots of the same.

I'd love to hear suggestions on next things to consider. Car is running great now so I'm hesitant to mess with it.

If you're not on slicks and turn off traction control, you don't have to worry about your axles. I've done countless hard launches with TC off on DR's and haven't had a single problem. Let her rip!

My fav mode right now is Track Mode and double tap traction control to select Race mode. Seems to be the best on the M6 with this much torque.
