SRT boss Ralph Gilles put his GoPro on a Challenger Hellcat and went after a Cadillac CTS-V running on slicks at Grattan Raceway. Best day at work? Best day at work.

The Hellcat is more of a dragster than a track focused muscle car, yet here it is with all its "more than 707 horsepower," and it doesn't combust spontaneously at the track after a few laps of chasing a CTS-V. Call me impressed.

Experimenting with my GoPro3... attempting to capture the HellCat's incredible baritone fury...then a CTSV on Slicks got into my crosshairs! Was a fun couple of laps chasing him down. The CTSV driver overcooked a few corners (admittedly) as he was driving in his mirrors as the Cat closed in! The highlight of this video is not the little bit of track action but THAT engine note...IMHO it has gotta to be one of the best sounding engines available on the market today. Hats off to the SRT engineering, power train, exhaust and integration team. The Hellcat simply works as a system. Loads of character, grit and pace!

Some insight from the V driver.

 

[Yaj Yak]

don't mind me. i can't read.

 

[Mook]

I'm pretty sure the V driver is giving monster props to the Hellcat....

 

[Yaj Yak]

whoooooooooops

 

[Mook]

 

[syP]

I read it as a bunch of excuses

 

[Mook]

He calls the car impressive and references being pulled by bus lengths. What excuses?

 

[Yaj Yak]

sort of starts off as excuse-ish

 

[Bru]

Ralph Gilles can also wheel the hell out of a car.

 

[jason05gt]

An excuse would be pointing out that Ralph is a semi pro race car driver.

I probably would too. Just saying, the mag ride in the ZL1 is damn good compare to the hellcat suspension.

IN4HELLCAT

 

[Great White Drake]

I didn't read it as excuses. Thought he gave props actually.

Now, everyone else in that thread not pictured.... it's tear city.

V also has the mag ride. Don't know if it's softer than the Camaro though.
