You have kept up with current news right, you realize the hellcat was able to rip off 10.80's with nothing but drag radials(with the 8speed). Just wait till someone gets a hold of one and bolts real tires to it and yanks out the seats, I don't think it'll be long and we'll see 9sec hellcats that are daily drivers.
Yes I have. Most drivers will not be able to click off a 10.80 with drag radials. I have seen mid 4.5 second 0-60 videos by magazine testers which is not a high 10 second time. And here is a 12 second run (although at altitude) to prove my point. And there will be some fast ones when guys like you and I get ahold of one, but most people aren't like you and I and until then I'll take my chances. You said every time and every day....and I like my chances from time to time.....I won't lose .....everytime.

Jerry, you can't compare a low 12 at Bandimere to performance numbers anywhere else. DA at that track ranges between 7000' and 10,000'.
I agree with Caveman on this. It's to each their own. I'm not one to specifically just drag race my truck, I like to just have fun ripping around on it (or now my car). I don't care how much power you have, try driving down a narrow back road and while still traveling in said direction at 5-10 mph and then without slowing down change direction... without being able to give a quick slip of the clutch you will never be able to do this! You will wind up in the woods attempting this with an auto trans. I guess my point is, I like banging gears and being able to "stunt" around in my sport vehicles. It's not just strictly drag racing for me. Now if I was going to build a strictly 1/4 mile car, then I'd build something with an auto, high stall, and a trans brake.
LOL so true! Driving a Miata is like fucking a fat chick, you know you would have fun going for the ride, you just don't want anybody finding out about it! :vroam:

Well if your truck can't beat one id be disappointed. It's almost a dedicated race truck with some street use.
Your caddy on the other hand will probably get handled I'm sure.

I'm not ashamed of it, my brother in law had one for a few months he got cheap and drove it to work for the summer. It's just a go cart, no power but so much fun because it doesn't try to kill you.
I'm talking about what the car can run, not including driver error
Exactly, I believe you and I will surprise a lot of Hellcat drivers.....Hell , I surprise a lot of the CTS V automatic drivers with my stick shift V now.:rock:
Oh, and the 6-speeds are outselling the automatics 55% to 45% according to early orders. I agree that the automatic will be the faster of the two, just not as much fun and NOT my cup of tea. Win some Lose some, but I won't lose them all.

I don't street race....but I may just have to get a video for you on this one. Old grampa has a lot of surprises for most guys on the street.
