[@rockervdrive]

I'd like to take a moment to appreciate that neither of these cars have fake vents or fake exhaust tips. Glorious.

[@blackice7408]

The 2019+ challenger hellcat models and the redeye has a passenger side hood scoop and headlight air intake that are not functional

[@desrt5608]

Mr. dark man they both are actually functional jus made different then the demon to achieve a higher top speed

[@blackice7408]

@@desrt5608 theyre not. I personally lookedunder the hood myself and saw that there was a tube for the driver side scoop and headlight but thepassenger side hood scoop had no tube for the scoop. Its a dummy scoopwhich will ironically cause more drag to form, as well as the passenger side headlight air intake. Its capped off. Its even confirmed by dodge's rep. Check it out yourself

[@desrt5608]

Mr. dark man do better research, I’m a dodge technician and I own a hellcat,both hood scoops connects into one leading to the air intake and the passenger side light opening is for engine bay cooling not forced air 🤷🏽‍♂️

​@@hermessrt2414Trust me, when you have a slower car that doesn't handle as well as the competition and you have to work your ass off to hang with them on the track, you're going to be exhausted from trying to put up a decent fight. Cars that are harder to control require more physical effort from the driver to remain competitive in a field full of better, faster cars. Drivers with lower levels of skill also exert more energy behind the wheel for multiple reasons. Ever raced before?

Love it! I remember the days when 450 HP was a lot of horsepower from the factory. Nice to see Detroit develop the technology to give us the best of both worlds. I expected the Hellcat to be faster at the drag strip and the Camaro to be faster at the track. For me, if I'm buying a new car, it'll be the ZL1/1LE Camaro. It wouldn't take much more than a good tune to make the Camaro faster than the Hellcat at the drag strip while it will take a fair amount of work for the Hellcat to run with the Camaro at the track.
