Lithium ion battery for the Hellcat

It is shocking how hard the HC still pulls at 200!

No shit. Overdrive gear? Torque baby.
It pulls hard for me, a lot slower than that we keep it in 6th and she goes about 170-ish. Plenty if not maybe too fast for the two tracks I can do it on. That’s a blast at BIR, because with a good lap that is about every two minutes.

Well, I differentiate between whatever speed is reached during certain circumstances and what a vehicle's actual top speed is.

Do what you want but see my previous post.

To throw other shit in Jimmy (finite road, headwinds), does not apply to any of the events we participate in. The boys here do not really give a shit how fast you can unsafely drive down a highway, or your opinion on the top speed of a hellcat.

If @2ndAmend can accelerate to 205 at 4400 lbs in a certain distance, he can accelerate QUICKER within that distance and achieve a HIGHER speed with 4350 lbs assuming all conditions remain the same…

I take advantage of less weight accelerating, turning and braking on a road course. Braking involves less energy to slow down LESS weight, turning is better, same friction, but LESS weight allows FASTER cornering.

You smart enough to understand acceleration and speed. Let’s get to it, we are talking about acceleration. The need for less weight applies to acceleration, period.

Ah, sorry, for some odd reason I thought the discussion was about top speed, not acceleration.
