GT350 vs Hellcat: different class or competitors?

[Process]

It took me 15psi to make 830whp on a coyote 5.0 on e85.

Honestly I'm not into the boosted Shelby. It's not intended for a drag car. But it's impressive.

Car comes from the factory with a drag mode.

Looks to be the same Track Apps as the GT. It's much cheaper to carry over same items than to re-program or re-contract out with whoever wrote those APPS. Just a guess :shrug:

Funny thing they can still drive that GT350 around the track they didn't change any of the suspension or the gears

Yes I know I have one. But it's not a drag car. Its a handling car.

It's neither, it is a performance street car. I see plenty of Porsches and Lamborghinis drag race and road course, what would you consider they are? It's YOUR opinion of what they are. The GT350 just happens to be able to do many different forms of racing.

I would consider a road course car a purpose built vehicle that only drives on a road course. The Shelby GT350R-C is a road course car.
I would consider a drag car a purpose built vehicle that only drives on a drag strip. The Cobra Jet is a drag car.

You're right, I give up. That's why the GT350 has brake ducts, a splitter, a defuser, trans and diff cooler, mag suspension, huge brakes, track tires, a flat plane crank to keep the rpm up in the turns, geared for track racing,etc. funny even ford engineers say it's not designed for drag racing. But people will drag race it.

Correct, but the blower adds weight and heat

It is meant to do anything I make it do.

I don't disagree with you. I'm just stating its purpose was a road corse car.

No, it is a street car. GT350R-C is the road course car.

sure dose but 800hp that's a lot of power as for the heat idk how they can fix that

Awesome points, but I wonder if Hellcat's track ability potentially understated, especially if a different set of tires are put on it?

Even if it is PRIMARILY a straight line car (sustained speed of 192mph on an open road), the stats also seem to say that it's capable of holding its own on a track.

Setting emotion aside, 7:51 on the Nürburgring is not too sloppy...that's stock...
