I think the car will gain more than 4 mph in 660'. My buddy's Hellcat Charger was going 125-126 in the 1/4 in mineshaft air at Sonoma a few weeks ago. I didn't see the slip but you can figure that the car probably will make about 35-40 mph on the big end so 129 - 35-40mph =???

There ya go! I was probably exaggerating the 35-40 thing because that's really moving but with the blower maybe 30 mph???

Can you elaborate or or are there any pics of the "hole-shot" wheels? Is that just a description, or the company who manufactured them?

Just saw the "wrinkling tire" pic. But still curious.

The stock wheels on it ?
It's just the drag radial it comes with on a stock black 5 spoke 11x18 wheel

A local Hellcat owner who seems to be pretty well connected has heard that the intercooler will also get chilled by the AC compressor.

Anyone heard that?

How about price rumors. Some saying very limited production with big dealer markups may make them pretty pricy.

I asked the insider. He said the "hole shot" wheels was just the name the srt people gave the wheel
That when it is delivered will have the 4 315 drag radials on it. And the 2 skinny wheels will be part of the chest (not sure if have to pay extra for that)

Am I the only one puzzled by the fact that they are supposedly trying to make this a 'drag car' street car, but they didn't put a solid rear in it like the body in white cars? I mean how much money are you going to spend reinforcing the independent rear and then designing high tech traction control systems to prevent things like wheel hop when you could have just put the RIGHT rear suspension/axle in the car in the first place?

If you were trying to build an all around car then it makes perfect sense to keep the independant rear, but the more I hear about this car the less I think it is meant to be or is going to be anything even remotely competitive in the handling department.

Certain things just seem like a total waste of money, like selling it with custom 3xx series front wheels and tires when it is geared towards drag racing. Those can't be cheap, and who is really going to use them (and for what?)

But we still don't know MSRP right? I'm thinking the early cars will exceed 100k
