4400lbs approx with driver, 700hp

60 Foot E.T. : 1.49
1/8 Mile E.T. : 6.78
1/8 Mile Trap Speed : 100.21
1/4 Mile E.T. : 10.75
1/4 Mile Trap Speed : 125
1/4 Mile Trap RPM...??

Nice leisurley drive there, pitch the tent, and a nice cool drive home....back to the old days how it all started ..not exactly the cheapest way to do it all again though.

Les

It weighs 4,162lbs Lez much heavier than a original chally
by the way a mate of mine has been using his 71 hemi challenger in all the promo for this new car, they have done severall side by side passes, think 13,3 for the 71 car

Ok after a little bit of sleep I can now assess things, yes the car was not properly detailed, if at all the orange peel was more evident on the sides than the top, nothing a little wet sand would take care of one would think that for a show prep the car for a show.

Also my camera lens was filthy , this was a tough effort to make the show ,getting off work ,the drive alone was an over an hour for what is normally a 20 minute drive, I got some shots early but then I was hungry so it took another two and a half hours to eat by then it was 9:30 and the light was gone, but I did get a few more pix of the car and others

Horrible cheap plastic in the interior. The steering wheel in particular.

I like the '69 Charger in the first pic, it has a tough look about it which reminds me of Dunc's old R/T SE.
Good to see some pics of the Hellcat, thanks Drew.

Yea I have been looking just a bit but so far rumor has it that will only build 1200 units ,

so the price will be marked up 10 to20 k ,( I HAVE ONE OF MY CAR SALES VULTURES ON THE PHONE ) so as soon as you drive it off the lot you lose 20k

then after a few years get one used for 50 k.

So I will wait ,ya never know

Wise move.
It's the same over here. Bought my wife's little VW at 3 months old and saved about 3 1/2 grand.
A new Rolls Royce loses about 50 k a year !!
