What would be considered fast for a light car?
Oh gotcha. I just remember reading on a Hellcat forum that some people were still in the 11's with them. Might have been when they first got them into the public's hands. I'm not sure.
Very nice! What an awesome DD that would make.
What kind of 60ft were you pulling? Looks like it launched pretty hard.

You must be thinking of a different car. Only a handful have been delivered to customers so far and being winter time in most of the country, I have yet to see an owner at the drag strip with one.
Perhaps. I'll try to see if I can find the thread on it though. I'm 99 percent sure they were talking about the Demons not matching all the hype Dodge put on them. My numbers could be off, the ole memory isn't like it used to be.
It may have been on Camaro6 too, so they may have been biased talking about a few magazines that reported bad times. I'm not sure.
Excellent times, especially with 20” 555Rs. What was your 60’ time? Are you still running the stock driveshaft?
You can’t get any more stock than this car. FWIW, the K&N CAI may actually hurt power compared to the sealed factory air box/scoop in the grill. It is just sucking in hot air.

Plot twist, you actually can get more stock than his car.
You can’t expect someone to take their 700+ hp car to the drag strip on factory rubber, right? You could but it’s not gonna get any best passes that way. Waste of time & money. It’s not like the car is on 17” slicks with skinnies up front. It has 20” 555Rs (not the stickiest out there) on the stock wheels. And like I said, the factory sealed air box may perform better than that K&N CAI. To appease you though, yes the car is “not stock” lol

Nice job Rich.
His car is not stock. It isnt "not stock".
Let’s just call it what it is... “highly modified”
track should reopen mid January. Hopefully right track prep and 05r's will net me a 10.6x pass. I'll bring the stock airbox. It's literally a 30 minute swap.
1.60 60ft
stock DS. Supposedly improved in 16+ cars over the 15 DS.
Thanks. I plan to do a TNT and bring the factory box and compare. I've been told by several people the K&N is probably hurting the car. But it does sound good.
Thanks.
Agreed. I’ve got the LMI on mine and could care less if it costs me a tenth or two and a mph at the track. The sound alone is worth it!!

It might be somewhere in this very long thread @GotGrunt . I looked at several different ones on that site but just can't remember where it was at. I'm looking through it now though.

Oh I may have found it, he says stuck in the 10's. I don't know where I got 11's from. SOrry about that.

If anyone believes a Demon will not hit 9's. They're delusional.
I think I found it, one guy says something about being stuck in the 10's. I'm not sure if that is the original thread I found that comment in but who knows (I'm thinking it's not but I give up the hunt). For some reason Demon and 11 stuck in my mind from some post on there.
So many unexpected numbers being thrown around in my mind by being presented from so many people right now. I just thought the guys putting 11's in were the well to do rich folk who had no clue what they were doing early on with the car and blowing off the tires on a cold track.

I think that was magazine testing in the heat of summer. Everyone slows down. Give me one and I guarantee a 9 second pass as they sit.
Nice pass, these hellcat seem to run very consistently. My 2016 hellcat challenger has been a best of 10.80@131mph. I went 11/12/17 to keystone raceway in PA. and made 8 passes, all were between 10.80 - 10.90. 130-131mph. Very happy, until I snapped my stock DS in half.
The 2016 hellcat DS are improved, but will snap
I am running a 275/40r20 MT et S/S tire, everything else stock. A8
