I had a lot of problems with this video and this was one of them. They showed the Hellcat sliding all over the track and made a point to say "this guy drives fast cars for a living and is really trying."

The whole time, I kept thinking, "If you really want to prove your point, let Randy drive and keep it apples to apples."

Outside of that, they said a few things that seemed contradictory. They said the 86 absolutely did not need more power. Then complained about the lack of torque and flat spots in the powerband and between shifts. I don't care what their stance is on power, be it yay or nay, but be consistent or explain yourself.
