The dart build episode is on now on the Velocity channel. As I recall they did build the chassis and most of the car. They did bring in help to get the hellcat engine running because of computer issues.

The engine build was with overdriven pulleys and run on E 85. The race distance was less then the 1/8 mile by a little bit approx., 600 ft or so. 5.80 was the approx.et number I remember too. so maybe figure 6.00 in the true 1/8th. The car also appeared to be extremely lightened by seeing all the stuff that they showed being cut out of it. But they also added weight with the cage and other stuff. But I bet the car is around 2800# or less.


Edit; Also the good news with them figuring out this conversion. It will help any of us down the road doing the same type of Hellcat conversion. Ok, They installed the engine, but they had someone come in to figure out the electronics. But they still helped us out.

Hellcat conversions might be easier in kit forms down the road.
