Hey guys, thought you would enjoy this, and wanted to share with the group that started my mod bug with my 10 sec E55. Picked up a 16 A8 Hellcat about a month ago. Mods started at around 800 miles. I have installed upper/lower pullies, bigger injectors, heat exchanger, cat delete, borla attack cat back, 3.09 gears, and a 1 piece driveshaft. Car was dynod on q16 making 16lbs of boost. Final #'s were 825/800. It is an absolute beast!! Exhaust was so loud on the dyno my cell phone mic could not pick it up and just distorts at WOT. I will be at the dragstip next week and shooting for high 9's. Here's the video

Nice. Did you try the sedan?

No I liked the Challenger much more looks wise. Also my dad had a 1970 Plum Crazy Challenger R/T 440 six pack when I was a kid. Always thought it would be mine when I grew up but he had to sell due to financial difficulties. I was raised on old mopar muscle cars and thats what got me hooked on cars. When I saw the plum crazy hellcats I couldn't go without. I loved my e55 for all 5 years I had it and it was far and away the best car I had ever experienced. I'll surely miss it but cant justify keeping both.

That's one sharp car man, good luck at the track. 800/825! Good lord!

Wooo that some power! How is it putting that power down to the ground and how does it handle?

Awesome car. Love the color. Hellcats are hands down the baddest azz muscle cars to come out of Detroit and one of the most respected cars on the planet.

I would like to see a big write up in how you think it compares to your E (pros and cons)...

I am guessing with slicks it will run low 10's and maybe 9's!

Running 305 35 20 Mickey Thompson S/S for the street and 305 45 18 mickey street r for the strip. It would be useless to drive with the stock tires at anything other than very light throttle. It hooks pretty well on the street, I will be at the track on Thursday. Hoping for high 9's. Ill post a video of the run. I will also post a comparison of the 2 cars when I get some more time. I will always love the E55 too, it's a great car

I would imagine they have the tuning nailed down on the hellcat. a guy by me has one bolted on mustang wheels and sticky tires and went 10.7 at 128 stock.
