Faster in as, the slant six car won the only race they had... not too hard to figure out.
Yep. I was there. What they won't tell is the Hellcat won, in all reality. The rules were 'Best 2 out of 3', Team Green broke before they got to the second race even. Therefore, by forfeit, the Hellcat really won...
Oh, and lets fall back to another video that's been seen a hundred times of a turbo slant that really has no significance other than you feel that it's a bragging point that it ran 2mph faster. Still isn't very streetable (I don't think it's street driven, and I'm sure I've read Ryan say the spool would be unbearable on the street) doesn't get 20mpg, have A/C and heated leather seats, can't take a corner, not real reliable, so on and so forth.
Is Ryan's car impressive? Sure. So is a 12 sec N/A slant (or 10 for that matter) but it's still only good for 1/4 mile drags. The Hellcat is still the better all around car. A 1/4 mile number don't make a car. Oh, and the more I see the same video of Ryan's car, the less impressive it is.
And I don't see how comparing a extremely high boost lighter weight drag only car to a low boost 100% street car is more fair? I guess I just don't have the proper close minded vision...
