2017 Charger HC (once upon a time)
#1
Years ago with the Hellcat Charger I ran a quarter in this location and got an 11.8 as 122 (DA of 6028). Today, with the Red Eye Challenger, it was 11.6 at 128, DA of 4447. Given we're at half mile altitude here, when I run the numbers through Lucas Racing's equivalence calculator, the Red Eye translated to 11.15 at 133. When I ran the HC through it, it came out to 11.16 at 128.

I can improve the launch (though it is crap west texas high-temp highway mix) but I think the rest of the numbers and the feel of the car show that the real problem is the 3.09 gears. If this was 2.62 I think it would be much easier to modulate on the launch.

Can’t speak to the 2.62 but the 3.09 from a 3.70 improved my 60’ by a 10th
