    Dodge’s Hellcat powered lineup has set the standard for straight line speed. But what if you want to go faster than a Hellcat… without paying the big bucks for Hellcat? We came up with 7 theoretical project cars that we think could smoke a Hellcat Challenger in the quarter mile, and they’re all under $15k. We’re not saying they’re GREAT cars… we’re just saying they’d beat a Hellcat. Probably. This is the D-List!

    Another option would be a Factory Five 818. If your not familiar, it's a Subaru WRX powered, mid-engine, rear wheel drive kit car that weighs 1800-2000 lbs depending on how you build it. If you find a good deal on the donor car and do the build yourself, you can build the car for right around $15000 and make 400HP on a stock motor with a few upgrades and some tuning. If you can find the budget for forged internals and a bigger turbocharger you can make around 600HP - in a car that weighs less than 2000lbs.

    • @caseymurray7722
      @caseymurray7722 Před 7 měsíci

      Although the 818 is cool and I think a better track car, the DF goblin is by far a better bet for drag races. It's mid engine with an ecotech motor. With a turbo lsj you can make ~400 hp with stock internals. The kit is less and donors are also cheaper since it's based on a cobalt.

The track mandates he runs a parachute since he runs in the 8's at more than 165mph I don't know his exact trap but that fucking thing shakes car at stop lights. You can barely see the rear end because the tires are so wide, I believe his track tires are over 20 inches wide wrinkle wall slicks.
