Though like all high HP cars without the right tires they're worthless. No doubt fun but not fast until you're at highway speeds.
It was a chance encounter and all happened pretty quickly.
If memory serves it was from 30-40 roll and I know was in 3rd at redline before I lifted.
It was at night and was cold, low 50's, so he may have had traction issues. The M3 did not.
As a side note I'm still very impressed by the traction. It puts the power down like nothing else I've ever driven.

My hellcat is Tim Barth tuned
. Way too much torque, definitely need the right tires and many sets of them. I've gone through 7 sets of Nittos N555R of rear tires. The car has 38k lol. I change them every 5k, but from 30-40 at 50 degrees. There's no chance he hooked unless he had 18s on. I roll race with 20s on and have no chance of hooking at 40 even if it's 80 degrees and the hellcats aren't really suited to roll race from 50 so it's always a 60 roll lol.
The new M3s do really seem to put the power down very well! I'm getting the AWD version just to ensure I don't go sideways anymore!
