FS/XX Question
 

Barton/Wolkwitz COPO came up For Sale on FB yesterday. Former Pro Stock driver was here and was interested. Discussion led to Weights of the car and other makes in FS/XX. I had just watched GYC night before where they weighed a street Hellcat and I swore I saw 4900lbs(!?). Pretty sure all three guys were out of it while on scale. (it WAS late). Street version yes, but that got us searching for weights of the COPO, Dragpak & Cobra Jet. No real concrete figures, does anyone know? thx

Re: FS/XX Question
 

FS/XX is 3550 w/driver in Shoot Outs. In stock elm they vary mostly around 530-560 hp or so. They are in the book.

Re: FS/XX Question
 

2015 350 SC COPO weighs ~3240 lbs as-delivered with 1 battery.

Re: FS/XX Question
 

I watched the show, the Helcat weighed 4400 lbs on the scale with nobody in it

Re: FS/XX Question
 

Thanks, saw it with one eye. hahaha

Re: FS/XX Question
 

The COPO I'm driving weighs 3540 with me in it!

Re: FS/XX Question
 

Is there any ballast in the car at all with you in it? Also there is definite differences in the engine weights depending on what you have. For example if you have a S/C engine there's 140-150# of additional weight right there.

Re: FS/XX Question
 

There is 25 pounds ballast in the rear. The engine is the 350 supercharged. 3540 is with me in it. I weigh 200lbs

Re: FS/XX Question
 

Hellcat weighs 4,400 pounds????? Can that be right? That's like a 59 Cadillac.

Re: FS/XX Question
 

I think that is in the ballpark for a new Challenger. For them to be in the upper Stock Eliminator classes Fiat-Chrysler had to provide NHRA with grossly fictitious light shipping weights.

My cousins wife had a Dodge Magnum and it was titled as a truck rather than a car, evidently the vehicle construction platform is not a car and hence the big size versus a 1971 Challenger? I was surprised she could get car plates for it. Then again, here...

Re: FS/XX Question
 

NHRA shows the Hellcat has a shipping weight of 4500 lbs. The horsepower is rated at 600 and the car falls at 7.50 lb/hp. That is AA/S or AA/SA.

If this weight seems like a lot, remember we are talking a street legal car that meets all government specs. The lightweight Drag Pak Dodges everyone usually thinks of are stripped down purpose built racecars that are NOT legal for the street.

Spot on! Might have to start New Thread as to where the Demon will fit in! hahaha

Re: FS/XX Question
 

My 2016 Hellcat weighs 4420 without me in it. Remember they have 18 speakers and 10 air bags etc. They ARE heavy! Jim
