Hajo You know you can't come in this forum and BS me about racing
. Yeah like a purpose built TA2 tubular frame Challenger has anything to do with your dawg. As Ammo knows, you have to pick your battles. It makes no doubt that the Hellcats and GT500s are only highway predators, but you still have to know what you are racing as the laws of aerodynamics are a pain.
I grew up in the 70s watching road racing. The big V8s trans am cars were exotics for us in France and we all were in love with the big loud V8s, but the reality was they were merely moving chicanes for the lighter European cars. Technology is amazing nowadays and our beloved Muscle Cars can actually turn. Still there is so much more involved, and weight is the big enemy of road racing and so is power as it involves balance. A great example is the Z06 lapping slower than a Nismo GTR. The GTR is heavier, less power and way more weight. But the computer makes it so easy to drive that the driver can exit corners faster with more grip. Corner exit speed is pinnacle, in my little 1,800lbs, 110HP GT6 I could get so much faster out of tight corners than the guy in the mustang with 300HP+ could only catch up half a mile later ... right when he had to slow down again for the next corner.
Anyway, your Challenger is a high 400HP front engine 4000lbs plus cars with a weight repartition of 54/46 and the C/D of a brick. You are like a semi-pro body builder,
Ammo with his GT500 (or the Hellcat) is a pro bodybuilder ... but either of you would be foolish to get in an arena against a MMA champ ... aka a road course.
