[QUOTE="tt335ci03cobra, post: 16334740, member: 68944"] I’m just a loud mouth by nature, it has nothing to do with this forum exclusively, you give me too much credit. You must hate my politics, god bless you, and Merry Christmas. On a 60mph+ freeway roll, a red eye charger should mob. I’d probably bet on a stock redeye charger over a 2020 gt500 if both are stock power-wise from a 60 roll especially if it’s a gurney wing gt500 or the carbon fiber track pack. Lower drag coefficient and more torque of the redeye Charger is excellent for freeway rolls.. Then again, if gt500’s are really putting down 700whp then it should win regardless in base (non gurney or cftp) form. I think a good 3-4 second is needed for your red eye to go from 130 to 150, yes. Time it and let us know. My personal experience is I can easily hit 130-140 on an on ramp, but burying my speedometer to 160 takes maybe 3 times that amount of distance/time. I have a hard time to hop on, bury the speedo, and hop off the freeway if it’s under 10 blocks. I think an average onramp is about 1-2 blocks. I have 800whp on pump gas and .35~ drag coefficient. I’m not certain my car can go 130-150 in much under 3 seconds and itll trap 140-145mph on that’s setup. There’s only so much time to cover distance in a race. If you spend fractionally more time, you are likely to be fractionally slower assuming perfect traction. That said, tires unwind once spun a little too much and that does translate to forward motivation. Do a rolling burnout at 40 and then let off the gas. Rubber band effect will push you clear past 50mph. I saw it on need for speed, promise. If you have wheels that are spinning just a little off the line, when they unwind, it can bolster acceleration but be a slower run over all. If you chirp/spin slightly through a gear change like 1-2, 2-3 etc it can give a little boost too as the wheels translate the excess motivation and eventually return to match vehicle speed again. This is a big reason why a power shifted car can trap 2-3 mph faster than a very very quickly speed shifted car. If you spin em to 330’ though, then yer run will be crap because you wasted 1/4th of the run doing a John force. You struggle to trap with 10mph of a proper run. Dodge hellcats and red eyes spin stock pirelli tires to 330’ pretty easy and need to be heavily pedaled. That’s why they pick up so much trap speed with just a tire. Very torquey power delivery. The gt500 is much less torquey so it simply won’t get much any of that. It might honestly just bog a bit unless a tune can raise the launch control rpm. [/QUOTE]
