From Allpar:

“With the stock computer system running on premium gasoline (91+) and the huge 315 Nittos up front, the new supercharged Challenger will still lift the front wheels off of the ground on launch and it will still run a 9-second quarter mile – 9.90 to be exact.”

So a 9.90 on 91 Octane.

good luck getting insurance on that lol. Very impressive though, wonder if blue oval and bow tie are going to rise up to answer.

Its crazy to see a production car upgraded this far in modifications.


I think the time was put down with the skinny drag radials in the front not the 315s.

damn... Wonder how much insurance would be on one of those! Crazyness!

moparfan

There were rumors that this was but it was not to be. There is the separate Trackhawk project Jeep though if you want AWD.

In general, I love to see cars where the manufacturers say F-it, let's do it. I do wonder if this spiralling one upsmanship is a indicator of the end of some sorts.

it is the end, of people driving cars.

Big car is big. Why no Miata/Lotus/Porsche fighters? Come on US.

Because it's a muscle car.

Do muscle cars have to be heavy? 200lbs lighter than the standard Hellcat is still a Curb weight of 4,293 lbs.

I might need to build a 450awhp Evo X just to be able to merge into traffic.

moparfan

I hate ever increasing curb weights, but all this modern muscle does fine at anything reasonably sensible on the road. Track courses are the province of GM muscle and the alpha right now.

Dodge has partnered with a third party insurer to provide insurance on the cars. They did not mention how high the premiums would be though.

Not necessarily, but they also aren't meant to be Miata/Lotus/Porsche fighters.

It won't be Chevy or Ford answering. It will be Tesla. Elon Musk said the new Roadster they are developing will be the fastest Tesla ever produced.
