The Chevy fan bois seem to be experiencing great butthurt. Good job Dodge! About the same as Hellcat owners I'd imagine.

So the letter from NHRA says it exceeds production limits and refer to section 4 of the rule book. Does anyone have a NHRA Rule book that can post a copy of section 4 ? I am curious as to what pat of the rule it violates. Probably no roll bar, but I am surprised the letter says it exceeds 9.99 and 135 MPH for the reason it is banned.

I think that's the ET and MPH break for when a car requires a roll cage, not just a roll bar, and a driver window net, and probably some other safety equipment not likely to be on the cars when they're driven off the dealers' lots. Unless there are different rules for the new cars, it's supposed to at least have a rollbar to even be in the 10s.

There is different rules for new cars, you can go 10.00 as long as you haven't done crazy mods. For example, if you put nitrous on a hell cat it would need to fit the rulebook, but run 10.80s on some sticky tires and you are OK.

So the way I look at it is if you would put a normal fat (me included) mopar guy in the drivers seat and run the car in the Summer at a non coastal sea-level drag-strip it won't run 9's and it should be legal.

I'd put the Chevy Boyzzzz as taking it harder than Hellcat guys, I'd much rather lose to another Mopar than a GM/Ford I for one have a hellcat. And have zero but hurt feelings over the demon. In fact the opposite. I love the fact dodge built this bad to the bone car. And can't wait to see one in person. My gripe is there won't be more built
