Should the outcome not be different? :/ The Hellcat did false start and did brake and then just drive very slow to the finish. Off course a 700hp car does not run the 1/4 mile on 18 sec, a 300hp car runs 13 sec
The hellcat with a good driver does the 1/4 mile on 11.2 Seconds (10.8 Seconds with Drag Radials) so it should be able to beat the P85D time if the grip is good. But that is the problem with powerful 2wd cars. Traction is always a problem. Personally I don't like cars without 4wd. I hope the firmware update boost the hight speed performance for the P85D, it should be able to do the 1/4 mile a bit faster and have a higher trap speed of 120mph+ with all that power.
Makes you wonder what a P85D could do on slicks, doesn't it?
