On the ford forums the shelby boys have already called BS and want a video. I remember reading about an engineer saying this motor had to be detuned to meet emissions but is capable of more power.
Basically instead of the 707 hp they've had it making as much as 800 before choking it down for emission, warranty blah blah.
The hellcat motor is no joke, they'd drop it in the Viper if it would fit. It will fit a ram.....
Hellcat Ram anybody? To bad Ralph said they dont plan on making a srt truck in the current future. HOPE that changes.

I read through that on the SVT forum too. I remember reading on a Chally forum where one guy claimed he saw factory engineers running 10.2's on slicks and 10.5's on streets. Claimed that they kept breaking parts and just kept detuning until they stopped breaking. Guys called BS so he basically quit posting.

I dont doubt the breaking parts, they do have an IRS and weigh 4200+ lbs, hell the new stang with the IRS are apparently breaking axle shafts.
The hellcat motor might be to powerful for its current platform. I fully expect to read about guys blowing up rear ends and trannys once modded and beat on.
They were running low 11's in the summer hot lapping this thing to make sure it stayed cool!!!!!
They didnt want be like chevy, have one hero run when the car is cool then it goes into limp mode because its to hot. GM did a poor job on the zl1 and new z06 when it comes to cooling. Mopar went overkill when it came to the cooling, but did it right.

That's bad to the bone. There has to be video somewhere.

I don't think so...... this is a pre drag set up run 9.16 @ 160 m.p.h. (YES, that's not a typo)

With a few mods... 8.21@166 m.p.h.

I read race fuel was used. Unsure why since the stock tune should make the most power with 93 octane. Hopefully no spray was used. Either way, bad ass. Haters gonna hate.
Hopefully they dont keep breaking drive shafts with sticky tires. I'm sure the aftermarket will remedy that though.

They claim they have video, but I haven't seen it yet.
I'd think the car would notice the increase in Octane and allow for more timing and boost?

That's the only thing that makes sense to me. However, i dont see a company releasing a vehicle like that with the computer having a high octane tune. I only see the typical knock sensors used to kill timing in case of low grade fuel.
Higher octane and timing not increased = slower.

From reading around I've seen one theory that the race fuel they used, which is oxygenated, leaned out the factory air fuel ratio enough to pick up some power. And from the link hawk posted it seems there was another car on street tires run 11.0@126 running into a 10mph headwind vs the 10.48 car not running against a headwind
if caveman would just get off his ass, pick up his car, drive somewhere out of the damn mountains, and post a video and a slip, we'd know for ourselves...
not sure what the holdup is WADR...

I am thinking that I'll buy a drum of 109 to keep in the garage since I don't plan on driving it much anyway. Anyone have a link to the tires I need to buy?
There's s Hellcat for sale at a local dealership here!, I don't agree with this $22k plus mark up over MSRP they are asking!! MSRP is $70K here and they want " no less then $92k" is what the salesman told me yesterday because they have the only one around that's not sold!! That's crap!, I would be buying a Viper for $90k before that!!
