Who would win a drag race? A 707 hp. supercharged Challenger Hellcat, weighing 4,439 lbs. (6.28 lbs. per hp.) or a 645 hp. V-10 Viper, weighing a much lighter 3,390 lbs. (5.26 lbs. per hp.)? The result may surprise you.
My first, question would be whether the Hellcat was an automatic. It sounds like it. The other thing I would ask is why it appeared the Viper driver hit his brakes multiple times during each race? Could it be that the Viper driver was VERY inexperienced and was actually hitting the brake pedal along with the clutch pedal when he was shifting? Would be an interesting race if it was a manual Hellcat and both actually knew how to drive their cars at a drag strip.
Would be a more believable without the two Brake Taps on the Viper. Bet this was Bracket Racing, not Heads-Up. BAD Video
So This Viper did the 1/4 in 10.97 / 131.22 vs the Original Post of the HellCat at 10.21 / 137.71 That would have been a more truthful race
You could see the Viper’s nose dive every time he hit the brakes...plus the HC had racing slicks for better traction. May have been a Redeye??
