2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat

[penguinz]

I need this so I can spend more time in the passing lane...



With 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque the SRT Hellcat’s supercharged 6.2-liter V8 can burn through 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at peak performance. That rate would theoretically drain the fuel tank in 13 minutes.

It's a Benz chassis

And the Dodge dealers are planning on selling them for more than sticker price since they will have a limited supply of them. So yeah you're probably right, I bet they sell for $70k+.

Yep. After dealer mark up. When the Shelby GT 500's first came out for the 2007 model year, dealers (Steelerships) were getting upwards of $80K! That was INSANE so I held off. There were supposed to be a limited run of just one year but Ford sold everyone they built so they increased production.

People think Mercedes is gods gift to the world. Yes, they are a very innovative company, their cars a beautiful, but for the longest time in the late 90's and throughout the 2000's, they had some of the most horrendously unreliable cars in the business.

The quoted post said basically "Dodge makes crap chassis", so it was pointed out that Dodge didn't make this one.

Those are Italian muscle cars.

Unless you aren't allowed to include cars that actually drive well outside of a 1/4 mile strip. Though, the Ferrari 599 GTO, pulling a 10.9 quarter mile, is respectable I think.

I hate the trend cars are going. This cars a ****in turd. This bitch will probably run 12's. Ive seen so many 600 something hp or whatever Shelbys at the track running 14s its not even funny. The car probably weighs 5000 lbs. The breaks required to stop that pig won't allow a small enough rim to put a nice size tire on it. The rear end would probably grenade someone could actually get this army tank to hook. This car sucks. I just dont understand why everyone keeps making cars so freaking heavy with these giant ass 30 inch wheels.


Sucks there aren't any cars to use as transplants either as every smaller car is now fwd. People are still going to be racing 60s and 70s cars 30 years from now and fox body mustangs.

Yeah, the thing is slower than crap. Only ran a 10.85 quarter mile.

Quicker than I thought it would be. didn't think the car would hook that well..And speed is relative... 10.85 is not fast and neither is 126 mph out the back door. Especially for 700 hp.

Those times could be accomplished with less than 400 hp at 3000lbs. I just don't understand why companies keep building cars like the zl1 camaro, gt500, and this challenger with all this horsepower, that weigh a ton and dont hook worth a crap.

I have a hard time even looking at the newer Challenger's as even Challenger's. So I could never drop 70K on a new Challenger. Just doesn't make sense to me.

If you looked hard enough. You could buy 2 very good older Challengers for that same price. That makes sense to me.
