FCA did well to put over seven hundred horsepower into a production car and to keep everything together well enough that they could offer up a warranty. That being said, once gearheads started to hot-rod the violent Hellcat twins, carnage was not only expected, but guaranteed. We’ve seen these things stock dip into the 10-second range, but this 900 horsepower Hellcat Challenger has been 9.70 while snorting plenty of nitrous. The stock driveline had been chucked in favor of a carbon fiber piece, but on a good track with a strong motor, it is the driveline that suffers most under the torque load, and this one pays the ultimate price by turing into tiny little pieces underneath the car. OUCH. Where do you go once you realize that carbon fiber isn’t strong enough to deal with one pissed-off Hemi…titanium? Adamantium?
Adamantium! lol, nice one!
” I think he
Shit his
Driveshaft !!!!!
A carbon fiber driveshaft is great for road courses, not drag racing in high horsepower heavy cars. The carbon fiber is glued to two 6061-T6 aluminum end yokes. Trusting your vehicle to glue is never a great idea as you can see in the above video.
First step would be buying a good carbon fiber driveshaft. Pro Mods run them, so a street tire Shmopar would be no problem.
I’d go for Unobtainium……..
