Man as much as I absolutely love my 13 GT500, I have been kind of itching to check out a brand new, 2019/20 Hellcat wide body. Its fully loaded and decent power levels at the factory 717 hp. I was actually heading to Lithia Springs to check one out this morning. I was standing on mine pretty good just enjoying the power, and now Im torn. I feel Im ready for a new one every other breath, but then feel like Ive got the perfect car with my GT500 on the other hand. Even just mildly modified (with the basic bolt ons) Im probably making around 675-700whp now.
I had a 2012 SRT 392 yellow jacket and it had ok power and was a tire roasting king at only 485 factory ponies + the basic bolt ons. It was a great car. The only real drawback was the weight, and no cornering capabilities to speak of. Even though the new hellcats are still heavy, the wide bodies have 305’s all the way around and with the optional suspension package it makes for a much better curve catcher than the previous models. They are really tight and fun to drive too. Very stable over 100 mph. I mean more stable than the 13 GT500 too. I do know for a fact that you can kick out the rear and powerslide/drift with far more predictability and control with the challenger. Even my 2012 was very predictable while smoking the skins. To me they look mean as ever too. The hellcat redeye is even badder, but hard to justify the $10,000+ more in cost for a baser model just to get another 80 hp and the chiller for tracking. Just thinking out loud...Here is the link for one I’m at least gonna go check out. What do y’all think? NEW 2019 DODGE CHALLENGER SRT® HELLCAT WIDEBODY
