Guys, I've had a chance to see (2) Hellcats up close and run at a recent GoFast 1/2 mile event in Ocala. They are very nice Cars, powerful, and BIG on a small rear tire.

I was not impressed on how the car looked or put power down by the owners on a very slippery airstrip on Day 1. Trap speeds were around 135-140 mph and the car was all over the place. I suspect this will happen on the street also in the hands of a average driver.

On Day 2 of the event, a mystery driver jumped into the Lime Green Hellcat and trapped 160 mph in better conditions without the 40 mph crosswind. His name was Big Daddy Don Garlits and he made it look easy. That's when I became a believer. The Hellcat is a BAD Boy and will only get better over time with mods in the hands of a good driver.

Dodge hit this one out the park, but it's not a ZL1.
