Just like everything else, Ford did it first.

That thing looks like some spoiled rich kid riced his Ram out with daddy's money.

Outside of the chase rack/light bar I like it.

Question is how good the suspension will be?
And when is it coming out? A few years from now gas could be 4 bucks a gallon and that thing will require 91+

How is that? 3.7 v6, 5.7 hemi, 6.4 hemi, 3.0 ecodiesel, 6.7 Cummins.

More options than Ford?

I think dodges entire brand is built around the Hellcat nameplate anymore. They take old nameplates, shove HC motors in them, and renew them with an old engine platform thats been around now.

Not that it's a bad thing, but the "hemi" nameplate is worn out and as old as the oldest folks on earth. Without the HC name, I think Dodge would be very bland.

What in the hell are you talking about Willis?! The Hemi is a staple in the performance world, and has been forever.

Hey FCA, how about update the Hellcat chassis first?

Cause the Ram line likely produces 10X the profits. Like Ford and GM, the truck line pays for everything else.

Sounds eerily similar to the Shelby name.

It would be such a surreal experience on this forum if Ford had a 700 hp motor they threw in all kinds of platforms, and all the people bitching about Dodge doing it had to stay negative and disappointed.

Would I buy a 700 hp Raptor? Probably not. Would it still be ridiculous and awesome? Uhhhh—yeah...

Hopefully they make a speed oriented HC-Ram too. If for no other reason than to rub people who hate all the HellCat cars the wrong way.

Ford has way more engine options in their entire lineup and more in their trucks. Just starting from 6 cylinders: 3.7, 2.7 EB, 3.5 EB, 3.0 Powerstroke, 5.0, 6.7 Powerstroke, and 6.8 Triton V10.

With coil rear suspension, they should be able to do some things beyond the capabilities of a leaf setup.
