Well I didn't find a 392, but I found out that some guys I know moved back to town with their 5.3 swapped Nova with a s475 on 16 lbs and E85 that ran 10.2 @137mph on their shakedown runs at the track last year. I has one video of the first run where they had too much air in the tires, but my friend fucked up filming halfway through the 2nd run. I'm still pretty upset about that 
But it was the best race of my life. Dead even to about 170, which scares the **** out of me thinking about that 
Don't worry though! They are going to put the slicks on and I'll get it on a few more lbs and we will run again with multiple camera angles on a warmer night!
Sorry for the hijack, just keeping the thread going

but, I would like to go on E, but I do not think I would have the time to get revised, work been really busy.....ill look into it.
I told my baby moms to ask him to run July 18 or 19. Waiting for a reply
Im pretty sure if I not only beat him but demolish him, he might be in the top 10 for a hellcat pre order lolol.
oh no problem...I appreciate the filler in the slowest buildup ever loll...but I call shenanigans on the 2nd to 3rd "kinda slip". That 2nd to 3rd shift is like a kick in the chest. I totally understand how that the filming could get fucked up. you need studio grade camera stabilizers lol.

Also today is saw a 392 on the highway. I pulled up next to him but he didn't want to dance. But they definitely look bad ass in the wild for sure

The Hellcat only traps around 120-124 it averaged 122 in testing.
It's not unbeatable, and its not even faster than this year's GT500 which traps anywhere from 125-128.
A bunch of you guys could go Hellcat hunting

My bolted and tuned Coyote trapped 121mph with no power adder lol. I was planning on a novi 2200 on it but I sold it first. Helps it was nearly 1000lbs lighter than a hellcat.

the hellcat will easily best that if they can find a way to get that much power to the ground. there are 470hp 2nd gen chargers running low 12's in stock form. if you're racing at the strip you may get a higher trap speed but i have my doubt that these cars won't be curb stomping alot of other cars even if they are heavy.

I also heard the rumor that the 8speed hellcat test car clicked off a 10.97 at the track.

I highly doubt it. The 2013 and up GT500 are 600whp and 700lbs lighter than a hellcat and they barely run high 10s. It will be like the ZL1 vs GT500.

Either way, I see the Hellcat being a beast, and hopefully it'll leave them gt500s in the dust.

The C6Z will beat the current GT500's stock for stock, use that as a gauge for the road rape to come!
Yeah the new Vette Z will make this a distant memory..... Makes a little less power but is literally 800lbs lighter. The Hellcat is coming in at 4200+ compared to 3400ish on the Z06. It won't be even close, the only issue as with most high powered vettes is getting it to the ground.

I just hope the Challenger puts away the gt500.
