Not too bad, I guess. I was expecting a little better. Needs to lose about 400 to 500lbs. and the car will be really beast.
There's a N/A 2016 Camaro SS with bolt-ons and tune that runs 10.44@ 123 in New Jersey somewhere. Obviously no warranty though. lol

I’ll be honest, it looked to be leaving pretty damn good. A 1.49 60’ on Drag Radials only isn’t too shabby.

If I remember correctly, Dodge list the RedEye as a 10.8 car stock...they mustve had a great factory tire launch, or the air on this pass wasn’t great. That looked like a super clean pass on a DR, with a 1.5 60’, and it’s barely .3 quicker than factory?

I wish they integrated the flairs better on these cars. Like the lil devil flairs, I think they look the best. This is the best version of the car though, I would take it over the Demon.

Depends on the da. Also that engine is still really tight. It’ll drop et and gain mph once it’s well broken in.

So, what stock hellcat, weight and all, is trapping high 120s? East coast track in December?
Before I got rid of mine I ran a bolt on/tune M4 with DCT from a 5-10mph roll off a stop light to about 125-130. I fell half a car behind spinning in first on stock tires and then proceeded to put 2-3 cars on it before shutting down and I was pulling it good once I hit 4th. Those cars trap 125+ all day with those mods.

Car and Driver said they tried all day and couldn't get the red eye to go any quicker than a regular hellcat. They blamed tires though.

I, admittedly, didn't pay attention to the trap.

Challenger is nice too because you can remove the front pass seat and the rear seats in like 20 minutes. And eliminate like 150lbs.

Those cars would be some of the baddest stock cars on the planet if they were under 60k. I optioned one with red seats and wide body and came to 83k. Are they 83k nice? No way in hell.
