If someone dailied this car, they are balling. It's overkill for a car to just go back and forward to work or the store. You won't be able to use it to it's potential in Atlanta traffic. It may get 25-30 mpg on the freeway...stop and go you can forget about it. I think it's more of a weekend, track, collectors car.
I'd rather have the new NSX.

I was wondering. That's definitely cool man. Sounds like a really neat job!Originally posted by domesticated View PostI drove the very first Hellcat prototype 2 years ago. That's how long the powertrain has been in development. I'm a dynamics engineer at the Chrysler Proving Grounds in Chelsea MI. I'm around Hellcats all day lol.

The worst part about the job is all the facilities I have available at work I can't use on my personal car. We have a massive garage, lifts, corner scales perfect alignment rack, Hunter road force machines, a road course/handling road, drag strips, and a massive square of perfectly flat and smooth asphalt for dynamics evaluations. If you spin at 80 there's nothing to hit. I use corner scales nearly everyday at work and I'm currently struggling to find a set for my own car.Last edited by Domesticated; 08-03-2014, 09:19 AM.

The production models were never mentioned in the prototypes they never came with all of the luxuries it has on there . they only mentioned more about the hellcat build with just the motor not the supercharger since I've been following SRT for a minute. As far as nsx they are nice looking cars but its slow.

But your not your not getting that anytime soon. I'm trying to obtain something more practice. More bang for the buckOriginally posted by sonikaccord View PostThe new NSX won't be slow...at least it better not be.
This car will put pressure on the other two car makers...an OEM twin turbo v8?
V8 hybrid with 8-900 ft-lbs of torque?
Let the battle begin

6.8L supercharged Hellcat w/707 Hp = 1/4 mile 10.8sOriginally posted by h22sparkle View PostAs far as nsx they are nice looking cars but its slow.
3.2L Naturally Aspirated NSX w/290Hp = 0-60 mph 4.4s 1/4 mile 12.7s
OK it's slower....... by 2 seconds. That's with half the displacement and 41% less Hp.... Dollar per dollar, I'd still take the NSX.Last edited by GhostAccord; 08-03-2014, 05:54 PM.

Its a bike compared up against a car. Oh and BTW the nsx would probably cost 60 k and still run slow as shit. That's still a loss bro two seconds less with 290 HP running 13s if that paid just as much as that same hellcat and still took that L left and right. That's even more insulting run me off the specs of that nsx on the price since you never put that in there bruh comon now.
