New addition to the Classification Guide

NHRA added a 2015-17 Dodge Challenger to the Classification Guide last week. 600 horsepower at a 4500 pound minimum weight.

Just a few questions - Is this the "Hellcat", and if so what happened to the other 107 "advertised horsepower" that we've been reading about? Is this a "red-key" vs. "black-key" thing, and if so, how will it be policed?

Not trying to start a heated discussion here, just wondered how they came up with this combination that will run as a "regular" stocker.
