SRT8 Hellcat - unveiled

[RX1Cobra]

^^this all day.

Dodge has seen what people will pay for top-trim sports cars (Shelby GT500, Camaro ZL1, etc.).

They will be out to get their piece of the pie, and since the Challenger was already more expensive than Mustang and Camaro, expect the top trim to continue the trend.

Sad, because I would love to have this car. But at the I-can-almost-guarantee-it price point of $70k+, there's no way in hell I would buy it.

What if it came with nitrous? ;-)

As long as its disclosed, it will be fine. But its still cheating.

I love it, who says we can't make this land yacht fast? FU! I have always loved the look of the Challeger, the design cues on this one are awesome.

IMO they're the best looking retro car. Would love to snatch a 392 in blue, they look sweet and plenty of fast for what they are.

The car looks pretty damn sharp. I'm interested in a real test of performance figures, lap times and how it handles gas (guzzler or sipper).

i like everything about it except for how BIG and how heavy it is. it looks like a brick but at least the motor and interior look killer

 

[TClark22]

while i agree it is a good looking car

Maybe if they chopped 6" horizontally out of the car...

I heard that one of the test engineers driving the hellcat ran into a 5.0bro on the street. The results werent pretty. Coyote FTW!

OP, you going to trade in your GB GT500 for a Hellcat?
Both cars look sick, I'm waiting for the Hellcat to hit the streets and see what tuners can do with them.

Anyone think the Hellcat's power will be a little under Ford's 5.8 662hp Trinity?

This is what worrys me, how long before tuning is available? It took a while for the 392, will this be the same?

I used to be a hater of the retro shit, but I must be getting older because its growing on me after a decade.

I love the challenger now, I just wish they took their cad file, hit select all, and de-scaled it by 10%. These cars are ****ing humongous. Saw one driving next to a mid 90's impala and it made the impala look like a ****ing miata.

 

[GTSpartan]

We'll see consistent 11.5-7's out of these things at the strip. Mark my words.

Pretty awesome car, but still needs to lose weight regardless.

It's like taking a chubby chick and putting fake tits on her. Sure you've added a new feature, but it's still fat.
