[QUOTE="big reg, post: 14304893, member: 17718"] Here is an excerpt from the Hotrod article explaining. [url]http://www.hotrod.com/featuredvehicles/2015_dodge_challenger_srt_hellcat/[/url] The biggest buzz about the Hellcat has been its quarter-mile times. Dodge released a video earlier this month showing the Challenger SRT running a 10.80 ET on slicks, and 11.20s on street tires. We can say with some certainty that those numbers weren’t run on the unprepped front straight of PIR in 90-degree weather. After watching some of our fellow journalists turn their launches into tire-smoking slaloms around invisible cones, we decided to go for the delicate approach to our run. Once again, there were no timers, but the SRT has a built-in e.t. recorder which we’ve tested in the past and found to be close, if not exact. We brought the car to barely off-idle (about 1,200 rpm) and applied the throttle with the same caution as you’d use while walking barefoot in the dark through a room full of Legos. We didn’t have the car fully floored until after the second gear shift. Result? 12 flat at 118 mph. We have no problem believing this thing could run low 11s on a real track.
