You can't beat a A8 vs M6 in the 1/4.

Running at local 1/8 track (lousy prep), got my first (and second) 1.6xx 60’ times, on stock tires and decent DA

Practice, practice, practice...

Great 60’ but I’m surprised you are not getting higher mph out of the 6.4? It seems like 114-115 is more the norm?
I think he mentioned the air he was running in not being that flash . You Hellcat guys are fortunate, those things are rapid in any weather. I often get out on Hellcats and all you can hear is that supercharger wind you in and go past like a train. :p

I guess a DA of 1543 is pretty high? How much will that affect the top speed?

Can’t make that one; I’ll be at ATCO Nov 1 for a track day, then the 2nd for the last MSHS event of the year...

...After spending the previous Saturday (10/26) racing at MDIR at the Eastern Mopar Classic!

I’ve raced a lot of scats , cats , 1320s and they each have there strengths while being different. The 1320 is really strong of the line and my SRT seems to get going at 3/4 track . I’ve run a best 121 mph but here is a comparable run in average air .

So, I was in the ballpark on saying 114-115 mph is more the norm?

For me yes in the 11.9s but the 1320 is a different beast .

The guys with 1320’s that want to run mid 11’s are going to need to run around 117-118 mph.

I think there will be plenty of mid 11 and better 1320s by the end of the year .

Yes, to the point us old bastards want to shift our 6 speeders. It is a control factor we grew up with in the 70's, not confused with age. Even though the car has it's shifting points to wear if it doesn't want to shift to a higher gear,,, it want. Paddlers can do what you want. Cars are named after Christen any way. According to the southern Baptist. They will not purchase a car named in or around the devil. I have a friend that did not purchase his red eye do to the conflicting followings. He loves his religion and his red eye. When our pro baseball team hit the St Pete area it was named Devil Rays. After a lot of fans would not attend do to the name" Devil' in it. They changed the name to just Rays. My tee shirts and jerseys just tripled in price. For the impact this may have on the 2020 models of really not much upgrades. Makes you wonder if they will be dropping the name. Demon, hellcat, red eye. Do the religious factor have the pull to change the hell acious Chrysler has made in their sales??
