Got to see a Hellcat on a mobile dyno at a car show this weekend. I was pretty impressed that it managed to put up 659 HP at the rear wheel and 643 lbs/ft of torque. Owner was very happy.
On a more amusing note, the Hellcat was followed by this ProCharged Z06 Corvette. Owner was bragging that it makes over 930 HP at the rear wheel (over 1100 at the crank according to his "paperwork"). Well the dyno said he made 794 HP. He was PISSED! Lesson learned is "if you are going to brag about how big you are, you better be big when it comes time to prove it." Even funnier, when they announced that he got an award for the most power made on the dyno with 794, he corrected the announcer and said it should be 930.
