Yep if you put it in track or sport mode. I tell it I want to test 0-60 or 1/4 mile times. It counts it down and starts the clock and then "prints" all the data when you reach the end of the run. It has all the data, how much torque at 10 points in the run. Reaction time. How fast it went through gears etc. More specifics than I'll ever understand. It tracks everything you could imagine to track including the G force in the passenger seat. [Reply]

I hit 4.0 today in a 0-60 try. I didn't floor it exactly at the start. Someone on a board said trying going 3/4th speed on the gas pedal initially and it may help you keep rubber on the road.
Still shocks me how fast the car is. Feels so much faster when you are in the car.

Nice, on all counts (except the spare bedroom, even I have one of those and I'm a Royals fan!)... maybe the true M cars have that data, but don't know of anywhere I can get that.
I can relate as far as how much faster it feels when you're in the car... I have a perfect on ramp nearby for such things and it doesn't even feel like 4 seconds to hit 60+ from a standstill.
I'd love to test drive a Tesla, which knocks off 1.5+ seconds from mine... :-) [Reply]

Did we talk about how the Scat Pack is different from the SRT? Like why is the Scat Pack cheaper when it has just about everything the SRT does including the engine? I thought the Scat Pack didn't have the computer monitoring but clearly that isn't the case for why it's less expensive. [Reply]

It's a good thing I don't own a car that fast. I'd get my ass in trouble with something that fast. Even if it's just me off in space without the cruise set. [Reply]

I don't drive much due to a very short daily drive to the office so get amusingly bad mileage. Like less that 200 miles from a 15.5 gallon tank bad. At least gas is cheap now but feels like I'm always putting gas in it. [Reply]

It's pretty incredible... all the performance in Sport mode, but good efficiency in Comfort mode on the highway. Not bad for a pussy v-6. :-)
Isn't it a non-pussy inline and maybe underrated in HP as well? Seems like there twin turbo or twin scroll or whatever they call it these days tend to be underrated on factory numbers. [Reply]

Yea I think I could crack 20 just going to and from work as it's mostly freeway. It's the 5 miles with tons of lights to get to the gym a few times a week that kills my mileage. [Reply]

The basic reason to get the SRT was that it had a better interior, better brakes, better suspension and performance apps. Now that the SPS has the apps....why would you go with the SRT except you can't find a SPS. You can find a SRT on a dealers lot. I drove a 392SRT to see if I would like the SPS because none had been built at the time.
It has the 485 392L with the same computer system. It has almost everything in the performance pages from the SRT in it. It's just not all turned on. It's weird. A company sells a USB that allows you to see all the menus that the SRT and Hellcat's see. I've not installed it because I have more data already than I know what to do with anyway. [Reply]

I kid, I kid.
I really do miss the rumble of a v8... I had a Monte Carlo SS for 9 years and could feel the vibration from remote starting it from my kitchen, and my garage isn't attached to my house. [Reply]
