Photoshopped!

But not surprising, the care really isn't set up well to go from a dig. I wonder what kind of tires on there and what point the Hellcat caught up to the cars that jumped it from the hole.

I wonder if it was on a drag radial. Notice all of the other cars are modified and there is not much you can do to a HC yet that will give it major gains.

The last two races looked close, He damn near lost it that first one though. Is this the same Hellcat from the other videos?

duh, dig runs, shit traction, who'da thunk?

lol @ everyone all impressed they beat a stock, heavy car with shit tires from a dig. Any 300+ awd car out there probably couldve done it too. Nothing special.

Looked to me that those races were an 8th or less. Too short for the Fat Cat to stretch it's legs.

First dig race of the hellcat I've seen. Dig races will be the cars kryptonite. Some proper wheels/tires and suspension should fix that but the weight might be a problem still.

Eitherway, the car still impresses me with what it can do: be a drivers race between a new viper and new c7z (from a roll).

Wow.....traction is everything. That is one thing I don't miss from 2013 Shelby GT500. It had a Jon Lund tune, FRPP TB, JLT CAI, and M/T drag radials. Ran like a bat outta hell once I got going but damn I was so beatable from a dig.....2 things that I got tired of was poor traction and shifting--takes skill. I could never shift as awesome as my friend Mark Tamez-that guy could shift-damn....

no sir I was in front the hole time we ran twice and i think some one told me that the hell cat was modded. He was killing 2014 vipers and C7 Z06s on rolls.

What tires was the hellcat on? And by modded hellcat do you mean it has a shot?

Tune and exhaust? What exhaust and who's tuning Hellcats already? Final question, why get a "tune and exhaust" but not buy a set of DRs?

Someone who cares less about dig runs and more about adding power.

He could be doing the dig runs for the fun of it. Not everyone is super cerial about racing.

Say it ain't so. Is this the infamous black Houston stock Hellcat that wins or runs with cars that should walk it from a roll or a different HC? if so, how does he lose to a light bolt-on GT from a dig, but pull/stay even with a 680rwp GT from a roll?
