So the Hellcats a Bro-Coupe then?
Its nice to see that they're making the center hood scoop functional. Even though I like the look of the one that's on the Hellcat better than this one, I was disappointed that it wasn't a functional forward-facing scoop.
I fondly remember hood scoops like ones on the '69 1/2 6-Pak Super Bee and 6-Bbl Road Runner, or the '68 Hemi A-bodies.

What are you talking about? The heat extractors and hood scoop are all functional.
Maybe it's that the front scoop isn't feeding into the intake like it is on the Demon.

Could be. If that's what's he is referring too, it's not meant to. Its an air scoop to funnel cool, outside air over the supercharger to cool the SC and engine. Not feeding air into the intake doesn't mean its not functional.
I'm aware of it's intended function. Just an thought.
Curious if the Demon will be offered with a stick as well.

Thanks for proving me completely accurate. I said A bone stock hellcat has ran 10's. And thats 100% factual. Period. Regardless of how YOU feel about the car doesn't change the facts. Do you think only hellcats came with factory freaks? I can assure you if they're "factory freak" hellcats then there are factory freak GT500's, which still have never did what the hellcat did.
Very true. With drag radials and 100% stock, they go 10's. Fast and gorgeous cars.
Can you imagine if they lost 300-400lbs?!?
And they'd still be over 4k. Id love to see them match mustangs and camaros. Unfortunately the new platform was scheduled for 2018 but FCA pushed it back to 2021. I believe due to strong sales. Its ridiculous considering this chassis has been around since 04 I believe.
Yeah,....that is pretty crazy.
If they weighed as much as Mustangs and Camaros that would be something else. They would be sideways in about just every gear. lol
So, the current bodystyle isn't changing till 2021?! I didn't read anything about that on the Hellcat forum. They must be selling rather well. Actually, I know they are. There's always someone new posting that they have one on order or just purchased one.
Depending on the new GT500, the Hellcat Challenger is top of the list of the three cars that I am thinking of purchasing next.
I know that you know... I was posting it for others who are not aware.
I hope they come in a stick. It would be nice to have the option.
I'm not 100% disagreeing. I'm just saying its not the norm. That's all.
Also, Jay Gustafson car is an A8, not an M6. I don't know of any M6 HC that fast. I would love to know if anyone with a stock M6 got that quick. I'll have to look around.
This Challenger platform was released in 2008. 10 years is a long run. I'm surprised to hear they want to go out to 13 years.

Yup. ResumeSpeed (the man) has confirmed 2021. Thats unreal and from what im seeing the new much lighter platform may not even have a V8 available. By then its going to be that tt v6 bs.
Wow, if he says it, then it is. Good enough for me.
I guess I'd have to order one before 2021 then! lol Definitely want the V8, ESPECIALLY in a muscle car like that!
The original lx debuted for the 05 model year I believe. The challenger platform is based of the lx. Just a shorter wheelbase.
Ah, got you!
It is not functional for feeding air directly into the intake tract of the engine. Of course that was what I was referring to in my post. I thought I was pretty clear. But the new car will have one because it is engineered to a higher level of horsepower and performance.
Also, the LX is based off the late '90s W220 Mercedes.
We all know that a M6 race is a drivers race.
Doesn't skirt the fact that Ford did it first (since 2003) and the guy I was replying to was inferring that Ford was getting bitch slapped and needed to catch up when in fact it was the Hellcat that was doing the catching up.
