This is bullshit. I remember saying before the '13 GT500s came out, "HP is getting ridiculous these days, in the next 5 years 700hp from the factory will be the new norm." I was wrong, it took 2 years. Next year my Cobra will be getting walked on my commute by Chrysler 200s with the Hell Weasel option.

Yea that 133 trap would take 122 more hp to run vs the 126 trap... It's a publicity stunt!!!!
No way it's stock!!!

Awesome news for the owner of the yellow camaro ... it must be a deep 9 second ride.

Can we just say that the HC is faster than a C7Z, traps 149 in the 1/4, owns all....

I have been saying that since they came out. Lol

Looking at drag times it was only -119 on the DA.

I want to believe this, but it's still kinda weird.. Has there even been a Hellcat to go 128? Everywhere I look it's 127 and slower, and out of no where this car picks up 6mph? Even the NHRA run with radials only trapped 126 and that was posted by Chrysler.

Anyone know if they backed it up?

No shit. Never heard those. Wow


I tried finding it but can't remember the thread it was in. The guy made a few posts within a large thread and got ran out of town. Not saying either way, just posting what happened.

The car that went 126 wasnt the one that went 133.

I know, but there hasn't been another hellcat to go quicker than 128. They are still quite new so I know there is a chance but I wouldn't ever expect 5 mph discrepancies from car to car.

I agree. It does seem far fetched. Luckily its all being documented and will be posted to YouTube.

Maybe one had weight reduction?

Anyone consider it was running a different size tire which would change the gearing? How tall is a stock tire and what where they running?
