First Dodge Challenger Hellcat sold in CO

700 HP isnt all that fast anymore, especially when you only put it to two wheels.

Yeah okay. I'm alright with being down a couple hundred ponies, because with the hellcat I won't feel as if I've dumped $100k on a boy racer version of the maxima and at least half that to make it faster. I've ran into those guys at a local meet & greet or two. They are stupid fast but cars like that are very few and far between here. In fact, that video showcases the majority of street rides of that caliber in this neck of the woods.

Yup.
People look at the numbers too much. It is not all about HP and torque. That is why merely 475HP Porsche GT3 kicks ass on circuit compare to cars with 125more HP.
I like GTRs. One thing I did not like (compare to 1000 things i do like) is that it is very/too forgiving.

My point was more to traction, not power.
Like you saw in the video 500hp rwd cars had no traction(even from 40 or 50 roll..). I guess I could see owning a 500hp+ rwd if I lived some where that was warm enough to really enjoy driving it. Cold pavement+DOT tires+700hp= a lot of traction control light and/or wheelspin.
To me the Hell cat is more about looking cool and that HP number.

What a sad sight. I've been waiting on mine to show up for what seems like an eternity.

Your claimed 631hp to the wheels is a bit more than 707 to the crank (720+)...which is where manufacturers run their hp ratings. It won't take much more than a tune and some exhaust work for my Hellcat (soon as the sumbish gets here) to drag that little goat of yours down the pavement.

Don't forget about a pretty massive diet, gonna take more than a tune and some pipes to overcome a 714lb weight disadvantage. Much fat on that lady.

Not forgetting forgetting anything when I say this...No it wont. This isn't your typical platform with an extra 15-30hp on the table left by the ecm.

714 stock vs stock. Depending on the desired level of comfort, a GTO can be brought down to sub 3000lbs with minimal effort. And still be legal and daily driven. May take a LOT more than a tune and pipes to overcome that. I know for a fact there are some in town with similar power that are approaching 3k.

Spirited Driving?

You either know what you're doing behind the wheel of a race version (or actual race car) vehicle... "for real"......or you simply don't. A checkbook makes that difference....not.

I've never once heard of either insurance, or the police caring, unless there was a fatality and it wasn't clear who was doing what. I don't even believe your friend actually (sorry).

Edit: Now my interest is piqued. I bet MarkCo can shed some more light for us.

I agree, I have only ever had one claim where data was pulled. It was a Toyota enginee looking at air bag data.

Yep, trading the 392 in.
