Running with socks on a wooden floor and summer tires on a hellcat is probably the best analogy I've heard 😂😂👌🏽

Hi Riley, I am an old drag racer that has a '17 hell charger (I am 65 year old) . On stock tires at 2500 ft above sea level (the stock perrillies summers like yours) I turned a 4.0 (still on my recorder) on the street. My Trick? Use street suspension like you did for a little bit of weight transfer. BUT at the stop, put the trans into mann, use the paddle to shift it into 2nd before starting, yes start in 2nd. As soon as you come out of the hole, shift to auto b/c it can react quicker than you can (as you showed in one of your old videos with your charger) and then let it eat! You won't get the wheel hop you are getting either. Every hop slows the time downI just installed the Auttro 295/40/20s on the rear and now back at home in FL  at sea level so will be going out soon for more 0 to 60s

Only in America is 707 hp a "decent" amount of power 🤣

With the same Mickey Thompson tire you have; I did a 2.9 zero to sixty in my 2016 Challenger Hellcat A8. Lower the air pressure to 14.5 lbs, and hold on!!

The amount of america in the first 0:30 secs is amazing

I got 3.1 0-60 on Mickeys in my stock charger this weekend. So you can get a lot better at the track.

Yeah I'd say they make a bit of a difference, LOL. Now we just need to get your car on a track in decent conditions!

When subtitles are on when the car starts and is idling it says “music”
Exactly YouTube, exactly 👌🏼

I think with any rwd/fwd gas powered cars with 400whp that drag radials are essential. I prefer nitto 555r’s as they last a lot longer, and can be driven in the rain.

I’m only 17 and i’m saving up to get a charger scat pack. Can’t wait!

I love the drag setup. One thing you need that would almost make that car complete is a damn high performance cam and also you need to add Flowmaster 40 series and H pipes. Those three options would make that car scream like a 60s muscle car

Hey Riley! Get the continental Extreme contact sports. Drag radials are good for the track with their bad in rain, bad in cornering and most times loud and uncomfortable. I like the extreme contact sports as they are wicked good in dry weather as well as wet! They also corner and handle amazing and have a top speed rating of 188! Love the wrap bro!

Great Video. Less of a heater on the DR's, Mickey Thompson recommends a minimal burnout. Other than that, ever hear of MASKING TAPE? Saves most of the rubber cleanup after.

Shoulda kept this car...soo cool dude!😎

NEVER get caught in the rain with those MTs! I was in a light drizzle going 40 mph and not accelerating whatsoever. My mustang completely 360° into the ditch . The MTs hook great for track use but for dual purpose street use, the nitto 555 DR's which will be safe in a rain and still hook well on the track and street.

[BubbaBlueTube]

Nice video 👍🏻 I’ve always wondered what the difference truly was lol I’m not gonna get them for my mustang now, but for the coming Shelby yes 😎

[petek]

Glad I seen this, I'm going to try 4 of them in 17 inch on my truck next season

[zenonchlan]

One of the best auto videos on the tube

[lovethesmellofracefuelinth]

Lol yeah it's crazy that they come stock with 275s, and is the first thing that I would changeout if I ever got a cat. The 295s that I have on my challenger SRT8 are bad enough as it is, and is hard to control

[devoseokinsey]

That’s crazy lol that my Camaro stock is 455hp & with stock tires my 0-60 best run was 4.4 seconds so I’m excited as to what these might do for me 😈
