Ok they are both standing on the scale but it ONLY reacts once the right side is "activated". To me this is screaming different fuels used and diff density of said fuels allowing u to run more power for a given volume (per gallon)...

so this chart below shows density of gas is 6lb/gal...while pure ethanol (glowing yellow, yellow iv bag...CORN is yellow) ...is 6.6lb/gal...e85 is 6.5lb/gal...t

https://www.engineeringtoolbox.com/alternative-fuels-d_1221.html

The 7.1lb seems to be suggesting total added density for a volume of fluid...but a full tank ..20g would be +12lbs....not 7.1...+10lbs if e85....maybe they are thinking u run 1/2 a tank at the track??

I think I'm on the right track but not quite sure how they exactly get 7.1lbs...

to get the 7.1lbs right (assuming a full tank) we need a fuel with a density of 6.3-6.4/gal which is roughly E65 ..which i know doesn't exist...)

Find that density tho and that's what it likely runs on....
Holy shit my head’s hurting🤔

What if it's sold "as is" and no warranty?
May not be legal... generally required for a new car in some form. Maybe a custom waiver or"limited" warranty regarding performance aspects. Not really my area of expertise.

Bruce O'Banner edition. Comes with a crate that includes a replacement center stack with HULK button instead of the HO button.[tongue]

I'll mention this about the carbon fiber wheels if that's what they end up going with. They're light and help with handling but this has been done before, most recently by Ford and the GT500 or GT350R I can't remember which. My buddy has both and one of them came with CF wheels. Everyone pretty much immediately removed them and replaced them with standard wheels. Seems they're very fragile and super expensive to replace. Like $5K each or something nuts. Oh, and they weigh 17 or so lbs, not 7.1 lbs.

Still like the boost but could be weight difference in the bigger supercharger

Warranty is a revenue generator.
All these clowns who will buy them and store them and never use the warranty are good for the bottom line.

Well, it's titled "density" so boost pressure would be a good guess, but also the weight difference between fuels or something too, although I don't think there's that much difference in E85 and 91 gas....maybe 1/2 a pound. Looking it up it's close so hmmm.

If it's 7.1psi of boost more than a standard Hellcat that's 18.5 I think? If it's 7.1 more than a RE that's gonna be over 21psi and a lot more than 1000hp I think.

I personally think the RE with larger SC is the way this going.... Don't see how they could justify doing it with the regular HC motor.

lol, in 2010 I'd have laughed if some said we would be debating 1000+ factor motors in street cars.

You guys did good. Those were the days. Incredible value when you think about what they are charging today. I got lucky too ... ordered my 2016 in December 2015 with MSRP upfront understanding and then found out you got a free TV (xmas promotion) also. Told them keep the TV and give me a discount ... so ended up $300 below MSRP.
