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...

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.

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