Got a New to me 21 SRT

[mantisSRT]

Welcome to the Forum, I'm also from Bucks County!

I see you got to race at one of my favorite tracks, Atco known as the track with the "Magical Air"

I loved Atco, I got to race the weekend before they closed. Its was May 26 2023 to be exact. I made all 11 second passes that night. 11.8 , 11.7,11.8 was hot the night went. My MPH stayed around 117 with one pass I hit 118.7 which was the fastest the car ever went.Funny that pass was 11.8 with a 1.7 60 ft and my 11.7 was a 1.6 60 ft with 117 MPH.
Either way it was a send off to a track I made hundreds of passes over the decades I have been racing there.

Maple Grove is not the same. My best pass there was a 11.8 @ 116 with a 1.7 60 ft. D/A is never great there and it was a bit on the warm side with high Humidity. I could not get out of a 11.9 and 11.8 passes no matter what I did or how cool I got the car.

...Hellcat Warp Speed 20 x 9.5 wheels ... Nexen 275/40R20 Drag Radials ...

Without traction, ET's disappear. So the wheels & tires on a prepped surface would be where the 11.7's came from.

Ask me how I know this. Lol

... On the street by best ever was a 3.9 with a set of Continental DWS-06 Plus tires in the stock size 275/40/20 ...

RacerX (an extremely experienced drag racer) couldn't even break out of the 5's on the street after multiple attempts with a Scat Charger.

The question is what speed measuring device were you using and did it verify for level surfaces.

On the street I did it in an industrial park which has flat roads. I used the Cars Computer that logs 0-60 times.
Racer X was trying to do so with 245 stock tires on his Wife's Challenger. I have 275 tires on Dynamics package wheels. Much better traction and they put the power down easier.
Racer X is experienced , I know I talk to him .

Glad you know RacerX and are keenly aware of his illuminating street 0-60 tests of Scats.

My decades long love affair with RWD vehicles ended with my '14 Taurus SHO.
It was my first AWD vehicle, and it ran consistently quick regardless of what season it was on it's OEM all season tires.

Ditto for my Fusion Sport, Stinger GT, Explorer ST and now my DSRT.

Dry roads, wet roads, clean roads, dusty roads, cold weather, warm weather, on the street, at the track ... 4.5 sec 0-60's all day long.
I'm hooked. Literally.

He use to live in Texas with his wife which was the Destroyer Gray 19 Challenger Scat Shaker. He got that car down into the 11.5 in the 1/4 with bolt ons and a tune plus a full drag pack tire setup. I was right behind him with just rear tires and a Hellcat lower air box which I ran a 11.7. So the Scat pack despite trying to make it faster, doesn't really respond very well to mods. Hell I tried out a JLT series 2 CAI system and went slower. I went in different D/A different temps different Humidity and compared to stock and the Hellcat lower, it was the worse out the 3. I was annoyed as I though it looked awesome and sounded even better.
