DRAGY TEST! 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT HELLCAT Widebody JAILBREAK Edition - SLOWER THAN I THOUGHT!
NEW PROJECT! We have always wanted a Hellcat, so we decided to get one since 2023 is the last year ever! I really like this car but man is it slow! Follow along as we remove some weight and get this car to become competitive with the Ford (GT500) and GM (ZL1) competitors! Next step is a good Nitto tire and some tasteful weight reduction! #MrDragy #hellcat #mopar #supercharged #lastcall #widebody #jailbreak

Thanks! I'm really excited about this!
I have a stock Demon 170, I made 3 attempts at a 60-130 with the traction control off in both 2nd and 3rd gear, car was almost 90 deg to the road. Turned the traction control back on and made 1 last try and went 5.09. I'm sure it's capable of a 4 something but not without the miracle of traction.

I have a Challenger Redeye WB and when it was stock it would run consistently 60-130 7.3-7.4. I have the 3.09 gears and I start in 3rd gear manual and then slam it in to auto. In track of course with street suspension. Sick car! I have the same color but with the black sating hood, roof, trunk. DA was about 1800.

Rotating weight is crazy for the wide bodies. Between brakes and drag pack it's over 200 pounds you could save
@MisterDragy
Ай бұрын
Yep!
Your car is running where it needs to be The weight of these cars prevent them from running those fast 69-130 times even at the higher power levels DA makes a huge difference of course there is people out there that ran a little faster in better DA I have owned 4 hellcats so far I currently have a 2021 Superstock I know these cars from top to bottom and tested everything out there You have any questions hit me up. Best drive mode for your car for rolls is track For rolls only dont turn traction all the way off especially when you start modding the car At the drag strip turn it all the way off

I’m in North FL where the DA can be -1500 in Dec. Just moved here from Miami where the DA is always hot as balls. -1500 LOL. I’m going to put some Ethanol One in the tank for a moon shot.Lol
My NB 22 RE ran 10.26 @133 at the track with ET Street Rs, that’s a 7.21 60-130 with great DA. I obviously had much better traction! There’s a lot more in your car. Good luck.

Well let's fix it and make this thing fast!
I have a 22 NBRE. These cars can be crippled by COT. Just look it up - it can pull 100 HP out of the car. Obviously you can't hook the stock tire but I'm talking way past the point you put a tire on it. Look at your A/F ratio. If if drops lower than 10.5 your dumping fuel, going super rich, and killing power. Your also pulling timing. You can't hot lap the car at all. DA must be perfect. The saving grace is that the car can be tuned as well as the transmission and it will be very stout.

Should have skipped the widebody and got the standard Hellcat if you wanted to make those types of runs, aerodynamics, weight, tire rolling resistance comes into play with the widebody Hellcats. Nice looking car!

I don't like it when people say things like "should have skipped XYZ".... It's all about what a person wants. I wanted a widebody car. That's like me telling a hellcat owner "should have skipped buying the hellcat, and gotten a base model Mustang and thrown a Whipple on it"....see what I mean? It would destroy any hellcat for less money.

@MisterDragy Just saying the narrow body Hellcats are faster for those types of runs, so I didn't mean it like that. Also, I've had two Mustangs, a GT 5.0 and GT350 and they were not for me, I didn't like the lack of low end torque; love the old school pushrod V8's.

Hello, thanks for the video, I'm a brand new Subscriber. So a few things , Get new tires for the street. The Stock tires are useless for putting down any kind of times. A stock Hellcat on a tire at the Drag Strip in good weather and good prep is a stock 10 second car. Your looking at a 10.6-10.9 easy all day everyday. You also need to learn about the Supercharger Chiller, your intake temps are very high and another reason why these runs are what they are. Also does the car have at least 500 miles on it when you performed these tests? You are not at full power until after break in period of 500 miles. I hope these pulls where not performed under 500 miles. These cars need to broken in properly. I think once you learn the car, learn all the cool things they offer, you will realize how damn fast they are and can be. Simple mods on these cars , you can get to 1000 HP pretty easy even if your starting at the 707 or 717 HP range. Good luck my man, I'll be watching your upcoming videos.

I had a redeye narrow body with the 2.62 gear on all seasons. My best 60-130 was an 8.4 in decent air. I think upper 7sec definitely doable. Traded the Redeye for a 20' gt500 and ran a 7.2 60-130 stock, same road and similar air. The redeye was more comfortable and sounded a lot better, more torque down low.

I guess it's all subjective, but I think most people would consider 163 pretty fast, even when it's neutered. I don't know to many people who value their license, driving over 160 on the roads anyway. Aside from all this, stopping to refuel every few days will QUICKLY get old at around 70-80 bucks a pop.
