i feel like you must have been doing something wrong lol
Not necessarily, there's a guy local to me who is at 785 rwhp with just a pulley and tune. I think his cat was 630 stock.

This is not at all unbelievable. Good "kill" OP. There's vid here of a scat pack challenger (lol at that disgusting name) beating a manual hellcat with drag radials multiple times. They're tanks and with a less than stellar driver they are not at all unbeatable by a 520+HP Mach 1.
And I kindly doubt homedude with the kitten went out and spent ~$70k on a 700+HP car so that he could put the "slow" key in it and try to pick on people. Makes no sense folks.
Maybe if it was 520 at the wheels, but that's my estimated crank power. (448 x 1.16)
Your numbers are way off for cars today. RWD manuals and autos are around 15% with some autos being just a couple points higher.1.16 is an accepted multiplier? I had thought a stick shift lost about 25% (auto about 30%) through the drivetrain, but maybe that was older 60's generation cars...
You beat that Hellcat due to his wheelspin. Cars at that power level don't hook up until 70. Had Johnny law not been present he would have freight-trained away from you.
Great motor, fat pig of a chassis. An E85, pulley, tune Hellcat was only running 178 at the Colorado Mile. They're dyno queens.
Weight makes less of a difference once the vehicles are already in motion. Hellcats are 10.8s cars on drag radials in the quarter mile. So from a roll they are fast cars.
Lots of things can contribute to that. Driver skill as well as enviroment. Doesn't change the fact that they can run 10.8s on DRs. Also, the 120s trap speed shows the are fast cars.Ones in my area run mid/high 11s at low 120s with drag radials.

We race 1000 ft and they barely break into the 9s. Nice cars. I got to drive a newer gt 500 that's the car u want. And with the weight even on paper it's faster than the hellcat the only thing is that ford doesn't advertise like mopar does. I've driven both now including countless zl1 Camaro. Oviously I like the SVT. But hey a driver can and will determine the race especially on the street.
ok - thanks - I have a 2002 car, assuming them high teens or maybe 20% loss as accurate?
