hang with hellcat

[Blown85]

So my current ride is a 2003 Terminator with a 2.2 KB, about 590 RWHP. A friend of mine just bought a new hellcat. Before I bust his chops , Id like to know can I hang with that car? I would think from what I read on their 1/4 mile times it would be a good run assuming my car can run 125mph in the quarter.

What do you guys think?

Run it and see how it goes - they make from 640-660rwhp stock and they move out.

Depends on who hooks and who can drive , anything can happen in the street

What do the hellcats weigh again?

I think about 4500-4600 lol

Mine is 4400 lbs. I've run a 3.5 0-60 and mid 11's in the 1/4 on 275 all season tires. 650rwhp and 630rwtq.

Look at your lbs to tq ratio and that may give you an idea about the car's ability. Stuff a driver in the mix and anything goes. That why I won't race a stock Accord for titles.

Yes I agree. only one way to find out. I will let you guys know when it happens!

Another big factor, you're driving a manual. Is he driving a manual as well?

This ^ if it's a A8 and it hooks I'd prolly give the edge to the Hellcat.

I dont know if its an auto or stick. Well see if it will be a roll or dead stop. Gonna be a few weeks as I have new rims coming with new drag radials

what was your 60 foot and mph for this "mid 11's" quarter mile run on all season tires? and at what track?

If your car is a squared away KB car, it will at minimum hang with a hellcat. If anything, come up on top.

I don't have a time slip. I haven't had it on the drag strip, only the road course. A local club I am associated with rented Dominion Raceway for 2 days. I used the timing system built into the car to make a few 1/4 mile runs on the main straight. The computer doesn't give me 60' times. I don't remember all the stats, but the ET was 11.6 (on gives 10ths) @ 128.

I think the HC would have the edge. You could spray some nitrous to put him to shame =)

^I'm thinking this as well. Especially if it's an A8.
OP, you both should do 3 from a roll and 3 from a dig to really compare.

OP, if you do this... don't let the HC owner talk you into a 60 roll. That's sweet spot to takeoff in 3rd with max traction and acceleration. LOL

 

[nxhappy]

but yeah you have a good advantage on the weight

 

[tt335ci03cobra]

If you can drive, you have the faster car.

You should be able to trap 128-130 to be honest though. 125 isn't soft or anything but it's a little low for 590. Were you driving kill mode/hard launch, or going easy on it?

Anyways, with driver mod it's your race to lose if his is stock/stock tire etc.

As an idea, 480-520whp porter eaton cars have gone 125mph with excellent drivers.

And quite a bit of weight reduction..

Most ported cars are 120-121 cars

Same for a cobra.
