Legit but probably an inexperienced driver. Nothing more than troll bait to fan the flames. I know it was getting into the 10s at a certain strip just north of the Ohio border, in small town named after an Italian city. Although the pronunciation of said city is just a bit off.

It helps to know people in Grape. Not a riddle but most people in the area will know.
Hmmm. Wonder what strip jcartwright734 is talking about....

Really hope guys can start getting these things in the 10s easily or the naysayers are going to start showing up!
Going to start?

Things With Wheels
I'd wager it's wheelspin. My '07 GT500 only put ~540 to the wheels, but was utterly tractionless on street rubber.

These things are going to need something a little stickier to hook than the OEM tires.

Guaranteed it was on stock tires and probably eating them alive, how many guys can go out and run the advertised time for a hellcat on stock tires?

So, a bolt on Gen3 GT will beat the new Supercharged GT500. Interesting.
You mean bolt on Gen 3 on E85 with the seats pulled on DR's in -1000da will beat a bone stock GT500 in 3500da.

...cool story

Actually 11.3@127 is good.

there is some out of the hole traction there.

I mean a nismo GTR with awd is what, 11.1@127 or so? That’s not far fetched.

it is what it is guys, it’s a fast car, about as fast as an NA GT3RS. I called that like a year ago.

Hell the difference between 11.3 and 10.something could simply be a slight lean in the seat to squeeze out a wet fart. Been there, done that, got the trophy.

I’m not at all worried after watching the video. On the flip side, going 11.3 with wheel spin and on factory stock tires is pretty good if you ask me.

Really the only negative here is the amount of nay sayers, trolls, poors, and the like will be out trick or treating for shit storms.

Lol 11.3 with a Garbage +3500ft Density Altitude and spinning! Density Altitude where I'm at right now is a -100 today and with this front pushing through I bet it will get to around a -1500 this car definitely has 10s under the right conditions and honestly without wheel spin it probably has 10s even in those shitty conditions if it can hook.

I can neither confirm or deny. Good driver+ good( not perfect) track = Break into 10s. That’s all I’m saying. I would fully expect someone like Evan to easily do it.

This is one of the perks of growing up in SE Michigan. A lot of folks are connected to the industry one way or another. It took a pretty hefty bar bill to get it that though. Alright back to lurking.

The trouble is, a FBO GT on E85 will NOT have any factory warranty... just saying. :)

I like to disassemble things.
Waiting for Evan Smith to post up some real numbers...
