Why did you not answer the question you quoted? Why do you take things so personal when we're all just discussing cars? Why are you attempting to derail the thread with the bullshit? I actually should be asking you why are you on this forum? To keyboard battle? I, unlike you am staying on topic. Im asking questions to further get an understanding on why or why not things went down.
You may own a mustang but that doesnt mean you cant be a troll on svtp.
Wow. Thought you would be a little above 700 with those mods being that they dyno 600+ stock. Just figured those mods would gain at least 100rwhp.
Thanks for the knowledge. Now i see that your pull is a little more impressive than i first thought. Once again good kill!
Shit I thought tunes alone give 5.8's 50rwhp gains.
no.
NO!!!
Paxton cars aren't fast!?!?! All their HP numbers do is sell kits! Are you saying they actually perform?
Unlikely with 575 to the tire. You will be a low 120s trapping car will have to have a hell of a suspension set up to crack 10s... possible.. but unlikely.
Not everybody starts over 600, I started at 593. You're right though, those mods are usually good for around 100 rwhp. Without the pulley I gained 70 rwhp. Off road H and a pulley and I'd hope to be at 700. Lund tunes are fairly conservative and the gain is usually 30-40 rwhp I think.
Yup, you guys are correct. CD Tests:
Challenger Hellcat (manual)
Zero to 60 mph: 3.9 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 11.9 sec @ 124 mph
Challenger Hellcat (auto)
Zero to 60 mph: 3.6 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 11.7 sec @ 126 mph
2013 GT500
Zero to 60 mph: 3.5 sec
Standing ¼-mile: 11.8 sec @ 125 mph
Just waiting for the first whiner to say modded cars vs. bone stock cars are fair comparisons ...
The point is don't make excuses, if I lose to a car more modded than me his car is faster period. I don't complain well he just has more mods, I see all these whiners saying I need to find a stock shelby to run. The odds of running into a stock shelby on the street are pretty slim, running into a stock hellcat are pretty high. If guys want to complain about stock times and theoretical races pick up a magazine. The ops car is faster than the pussy cat he raced, period.
The OP GT500 mods should be in the 670'ish whp range I would guess. To reach 700+ whp most people have to go LT headers or a bottom pulley and no cats. I had similar mods as OP, except instead of mono throttle body I have twin 67mm VMP. Car put down 666 rwhp. Added headers and busted a 701. Now my cats are gone and I have a new tune, so I should be 720'ish or more I would expect.
I think if he had 3.73 or 4.10 gears he would have pulled harder. They take up some of the slack/fall off between shifts and keep the TQ on the ground (if tires and suspension are up for it!)

I'm honestly not sure on power. Going to get a dyno tune done soon. And 3.15 gears.
I have zero traction below 60. I'll def be playing catch up. When I get it tuned I'm actually going to have them set the car up for 5.5lbs and 9. I'm more than happy to race on each setting and see how the outcomes vary.
Hey now, don't jinx the motor, it needs to last me another 6 months or so lol.
I bet it will be close to that. My buddy has one right around your boost... beautifully nasty car! :beer:
nice kill op. The auto hellcat put up some good 1/4 mile times but that trap speed is low to be playing with a 680 to 700whp gt500 on the highway.

I understand the point you're trying to make, but I also understand reason and common sense. A win is a win, to be sure. But no one can ignore how they won either. Using results from multiple automotive journals gives an accurate picture of how cars run as delivered by the manufacturer. Anyone can mod a car to run literally just about anything, so I have little interest in those type of comparisons. I'm a Ford guy through and through, so on one level congrats to the op but it is what it is. If people want to complain about what their car runs stock, then go read Car Craft or Hot Rod magazine ...
Nice kill. I wouldn't mind having a Hellcat in my stable.
Hellcats are amazing. The fact a stock Hellcat kept up with a modified trinity says a lot
Did we read the same encounter? He walked the HC. That's not "keeping up"
800lbs ? Is the KittyCat really that much heavier than a GT500 ???
No.
800?! It's heavy, but it's not that heavy. I believe the delta is between 450-500 depending on trim of the GT500 and transmission in the HC.
Right. Most 2013-2014 GT500's are in the 3900lb range without a driver, depending on options (glass roof, performance/track pack with coolers, Shaker 1000 with subwoofer). The Challenger Hellcat is reportedly weighing 4400 (4449).
I was at Hotrod Power tour in Gonzales, LA last Friday. Dyno'd the GTO and made a whopping 338 rhwp. Next up stock Hellcat. How appropriate 666 rhwp. Cars are no joke.
