@coolblue
This was my answer.

"The guys who have built their Challengers or Chargers are going to not care yours is a "Hell Cat".
They will say I've got the fastest Challenger or Charger"

My Husband Top Cat beleived a Hellcat was the car that had the supercharger and Hemi running.

Eplings Car has a KB supercharger and a Hemi + the Hellcat Vin

The thing that everyone should be paying attention to is at the level 007 continues to be built for the Eplings are doing right for speed and safety.
These kinds of builds bring new parts to market.

Linda you have to forgive me I'm an idiot. I agree with the last statement, but I can't tell if you agree or disagree on the rest. LOL

Long before the Hellcat came out during one of the MSHS races the SRT guys came out for a round table discussion. It went quite terrible because so many racers were trying to build a competitive race car. But how the SRT8 was built it was frustrating for many and they gave those SRT8 guys Hell! But later that night my husband and I were out in the parking lot to 2:00 am in the morning talking to the engineers about how the MSHS racers were modifying their cars and Jeeps. He also told them about the KB supercharger build of my 2010 SRT8 Challenger. They were amazed and had no idea, and we think they payed attention. Because we all gave the Hell and they came back with the Hellcat.
My husband was so excited when he saw information saying there was a Hellcat coming. You know you can believe anything until you can. John bought his and wanted to go faster. My Charger came in and I was asked to Tune it. I thought to my self F'no I had so much fun drag racing without "race and break"
But I finally said "FINE" LOL and from the 1st Tune AJ loaded in my ET was faster. John brought his Challenger home and sent it to HHP. That's when all was started for Hellcats going Fassster. Josh, John and I went to the track 3xs a week for months. Top Cat/John posted up all the news from the track to the forum members. There were No secrets.

See Dodge didn't just give us a better SRT8 but the built the Hellcat right and they left alot on the table for us to go Fassster. Tuning and adding parts to get into the 9's took awhile. Now 8's is so easy. The info is known and if you want to get there you can.

HHP had all the Hellcat records and customers bantering back and forth who was going to be the fastest. There was nobody besides HHP who got to a 9.7 until Josh's Tunes got sucked out by an HPT Tuner and Tweaked. Everyone else was at 9.8. There was a calibration Josh figured out to get past the 9.8. But that's the Tuning world!

You may not realize but 007 was the first Hellcat into the 8's and it was Tuned by Josh@HHP https://www.torquenews.com/106/epling-garage-dodge-challenger-sets-new-hellcat-overall-world-record

So @coolblue it's about following a Hellcat that went from 10's to 9's to 7's and Leon is giving us info to do it.

007 is a Hellcat and there are other Challengers racing faster and that's their goal to beat!

Linda :)

Oh and BTW My husbands All Time favorite Mopar was his 2011 Drag Pak Challenger. John was waiting for it to be more race built and out having Fun with his Hellcat.
But he wanted a Fastest Number for his DP but racing ........it would be his Challenger! His loved saying "It is what it is" :)

That is a hellcat 100%

if the vin is a hellcat and you paid for a hellcat then it’s a hellcat.

stop the it’s not even a real car anymore.

this hellcat is the most extreme modded and race Prepped hellcat ever.

we should all be proud that this car will represent our community.

don’t be jealous everyone because this isn’t your ride. Because it is sick!!!
Then I can safely say that Matt Hagen’s funny car is a real Charger?

Then it’s like one of those top fuel Toyota’s. Only a whole lot slower.
