We’ve got some video from the StreetCarDrags January 18th event at Palm Beach International Raceway of a 2015 Tesla Model S P85D going racing a 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat.   The Tesla is powered by two electric motors with a combined output of 691 horsepower while the Hellcat has a 6.2L Supercharged HEMI V8 pumping out 707HP. The Tesla P85D set a new world record (verified by NEDRA who was onsite) for being the quickest and fastest production electric car in the world running 11.6 @ 114.6 MPH in the 1/4 mile with a very a 1.65 60′ time.  0-60 MPH came in last just 3.1 seconds.  The Read More

Take a look at this modified Dodge Challenger Hellcat running well into the 10’s on drag radials with a 10.48 @ 133 MPH.  While the mods are not listed we’re thinking a pulley, tune and exhaust could be good for another 10o horsepower over it’s already strong 707 horsepower.  Of course they could have taken the easy way out with a nice shot of nitrous. Take a look at the video below and let us know what modifications is has:

Nine Ball Garage took a 2014 Dodge Viper TA and a 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 to KP Racing for some back to back dyno runs to see just how these two competitors perform on the dyno. The Viper TA powered by a 8.4L V10 put down 540 horsepower and 517 ft-lbs of torque while the Corvette Z06 powered by a 6.2L supercharged V8 put down 564 HP and 566 ft-lbs of torque.   Dyno Graphs Viper TA Dyno Graph Corvette Z06 Dyno Graph Source: Nine Ball Garage

Take a look at the all new Challenger Hellcat with it’s 707HP supercharged V8 HEMI taking on the new Corvette Z06 with a 650HP supercharged V8.  It’s a close race with the Corvette losing a little ground during each shift of it’s manual transmission. The Hellcat’s automatic transmission along with a bit more horsepower does a great job of making up for it’s large weight and aerodynamic disadvantage compared to the Corvette.  

The team over at K&N had some time with the all new Dodge Challenger Hellcat and strapped it to their DynoJet to see just how much horsepower Dodge’s new beast of a car is actually making.  The Hellcat did not disappoint, putting down an impressive 635 horsepower and 591 ft-lbs of torque to the rear wheels through it’s 8 speed automatic transmission.  Using a 13% driveline loss that puts the Hellcat at around 730HP and 679 ft-lbs of torque. Impressive numbers to backup it’s 10.8 @ 126 MPH run down the 1/4 mile last month.  Enjoy the video and dyno graph Read More

Dodge has released details on the all new Charger Hellcat brining in the entire drivetrain from the Challenger Hellcat, a 6.2L Supercharged HEMI V8 with 707 horsepower and an 8 speed automatic transmission.  This combination pushes Dodge past the likes of Mercedes AMG and BMW M to take the titles of quickest, fastest and most powerful 4 door sedan in the world. Dodge is quoting impressive numbers with a 0-60 MPH time of just 3.7 seconds and a 1/4 mile time of 11 seconds flat on street tires. Top speed of the all new Charger Hellcat is an astounding 204 MPH!  All we Read More

We have some fresh pictures of a SRT Viper Convertible that was available for viewing at Prefix during the Viper Owners Association event in Detriot, MI.   No details yet on availability or if this is just a one-off done by Prefix, but looks incredible to say the least! UPDATE: Information is coming in that Prefix is doing the convertible conversions at a price of $35k in addition to the price of your SRT Viper.  At the high end that will put a SRT Viper GTS convertible in the $178k range, wow!

Dodge just published a video of it’s all new Dodge Challenger Hellcat making a pass down the 1/4 mile.  The Hellcat with it’s 6.2L Supercharged V8 HEMI making 707 horsepower along with an 8 speed automatic transmission and drag radials ended up running an impressive 10.8 @ 126 MPH down the 1/4 mile which is quicker and just as fast as the SRT Viper. Dodge has certainly stepped up their game and it’s awesome to see the horsepower and muscle car wars continue on.  We wonder what Ford and GM will do now with their Shelby Mustang GT500 (662HP) and Read More

Dodge recently released some details on the upcoming Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat with Supercharged 6.2L V8 making over 600HP.  Check out this video of the new Hellcat making some noise at a recent gathering.  We glad Dodge finally stepped up it’s game to compete with the Shelby Mustang GT500 and Camaro ZL1!

NineBall as he goes on the forums has made the first 10 second pass in an SRT Viper driving his white 2013 Track Pack at Royal Purple Raceway in Baytown, TX.   With some good weather, negative DA and a private track rental, a total of 27 passes were made with the quickest dropping the SRT Viper into the 10’s with a 10.97 @ 127.94 MPH on Nitto NT05R drag radials.
