Jeebus. And it’s only a few grand more than the new Scat Pack Charger. Ouch.

Was this top speed or top speed in 1 mile?

The "Johnny Bohmer Proving Grounds" YT channel specifically distinguishes between "Top Speed" and "1 Mile Top Speed."

Use their search to locate either one or the other (i.e., "Hellcat Top Speed" or "Hellcat Standing Mile").

For ex:

2019 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye | (Top Speed Test)
191.314 mph

same vehicle ...

2019 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye | (Standing Mile Top Speed)
173.410 mph

Which rear ends numercally? Could make a difference.

Curious as to why that is..

Widebody has more drag (flares and tires).

176mph with DAs in the 8500ft range.

There is a strange trade off in lost power versus air resistance in the upper realm of Cd/HP balance, hence the quote in my signature.

Hey Bull, was that with the 3.70 or 3.90?

Some of you guys have heard me say this a hundred times:

You all need to do this at least once in your life, you are not going to live forever, and you never know when the host may decide to pack it in, then it's gone. Short money, perfectly legal, relatively safe. What the hell are you guys waiting for!!!

3.90s

 

[2ndAmend]

3.90s

Me too.

 

[BULL]

Me too.

I ran the first of three years with 3.70s, then the last two with 3.90s

What difference did you get?

 

[BULL]

What difference did you get?

It wasn't the only change, so it isn't clear.

All in, ~2-3mph trap

Local guy with a M6WB couldn't break 170. He has tweaked it a bit for next year!

Notably higher Cd, not only in the body, but also in the tires.

"relatively safe"

"relatively safe"

WTF!!!

If you want to really be safe, give me your cars!!!!

I can't remember for sure, but I might have did the 174 run in the M6 with the 305's. If I take it back I'll run the 275's.

The 191 in 1.5 with the stock RE was with 305's. Have to wonder what the 275's would have done.
