I’ve had moments like this in Dodge Challenger SRT ® Hellcats, SRT Hellcat Redeyes and SRT Demons at ¼-mile dragways and full-road courses across the country. Watch for the “all clear” – and when it’s good to go, you give it hell. Right now, you now have more power at your disposal than most humans have ever had access to. You give it a little gas and maneuver your vehicle up to the entrance of the track, following your ground guide to the starting line. Push the start button and the engine roars to life it’s a noise that only the gods of war and thunder can fully appreciate. From the driver’s seat, everything looks as it should. Fumbling with the chin strap, your fingers finally suss out what goes through what clip and how to pull it secure. Slide the earplugs in, slip the head sock over your ears and pull the helmet on, fidgeting with it until it’s semi-comfortable on your giant noggin. It’s time to hit the track in one of the raddest machines ever built.
