I didn't even know about the Charger version, just the Challenger and I know the Challenger isn't but everyone else is saying the Charger is, guess you learn something new everyday:screwy:

...and add a Vortech to it and some tuning work and you'll have your own Hellcat;)

Also need to add the much larger Brembo's, add the new 8 speed tranny good to 900+ horse, add the 3 modes of suspension tuning. It's also a roots blower, not a Vortech centrifugal which gives it instant boost.

Add all this to your current SRT and kiss your powertrain warranty good bye. Hell just add a canned tune and kiss it goodbye let alone a full blown custom CMR tue.
 
I spoke with one of the testing engineers for the hellcat challenger and he said the 707hp was from an earlier dyno test. There has been plenty of tuning after that, so currently it is a descent bit more powerful. having heard the exhaust, that engine alone would be worth the price tag in any car.

I should've said "basically" a Hellcat but to that the people buying the Hellcat care about smokey burnouts, let's be honest and although the aftermarket blower would infact void the warranty for sure. Its all about the 1320 with the buyers of cars like that, let's be honest here.

The article I read stated the Hellcat's blower is twin screw. That's not the same a s a roots supercharger, though both do produce "instant" boost.
 
Hate the charger body style. Challenger or nothing in my book.
 
Of course when you have this kind of power, what can go wrong.

Dodge Drops More Photos And Specs For 2015 Challenger SRT Hellcat

Quote:

The fuel system keeps pace with an in-tank pump that accommodates variable pressures, half-inch fuel lines and eight high-flow injectors that can drain the car’s 18.5-gallon fuel tank in just 13 minutes when the engine is running at full power.

I guess you can pass pretty much anything except a gas station

I had NO idea that the Charger Hellcat is going to AWD, the Challenger isn't and because its the same platform, for the most part, surprised AWD isn't going on the Challenger Hellcat too.

I find it amazing we (USA) can take the easy way out and shove a large engine and blower into a car, AWD from an SUV and call it a legend in the making. It would be nice to be "ahead of the curve", pardon the pun, and start making smaller cars that handle and accelerate, stop and steer, this is the future, seriously! I'm not just saying this because I have a hot hatch either, just looking forward, you can only look back for so long. I'd like to see a smallish, mid-sized domestic with forced induction, AWD, big brakes (not those fake azz covers Mustang owners use), a manual option and proper tire and wheel packages, something like the Ford Fusion, spelled FuZion w/ the SHO engine, AWD, 6 spd LSD and killer brakes and tire/wheel package, can you say S4 killer! GM can do this too, well, let's get the ignitions sorted out first, with the Malibu, drop in the turbo V6 from Vauxhall, AWD and tune the suspension and have at it! The Regal GS is "almost there" right now, just needs to visit Jenny Craig and add more power to the 4 or drop in the turbo V6 from the Insigna VRX, a no brainer!

That's what I love about the Evo and other Japanese cars such as the Skylines and Supras. About 5 grand in my stock internals engine, converted to E85, 500 plus to the rear wheels (would be over 600 to the crank which is probably the number used for the Hellcat) and I can use a lot of that coming out of a turn without ending up facing the opposite direction. This is out of a 2 liter, 4 banger with about 60k mile on it.

And so far every v8 "muscle car" that has tried something has gotten a "what fer" And this is a straight line where they are supposed to have the advantage. Get them on the track at track days and it's brutal beat down.

And I must have misread something but I could have sworn I saw a male type "who needs 700 HP in a 4 door." Maybe I was dreaming because we all know it doesn't matter where the HP is, as long as you have it. Im the MAN

Yes, but this is a 5 passenger family sedan that is just as fast or even faster than most exotics. Any car guy had to give props where props are due and in this case Dodge gets some serious props for this accomplishment.

I have a 13 Charger RT black top and its a great family car that runs 13.5 in the 1/4.

No props for making a car fast in a straight line. Cars should be able to go right and left as well. :)
 
People like having cars that go fast in a straight line. Just like you like your cars that go left and right. I think the drag racing scene is much larger than the autocross scene.
 
Shouldn't it be the Fiat Hellcat?

Poor Detroit.

Maybe they don't handle so great. This was was crashed an hour after delivery.

So you are comparing a stock motor to one that has 5 grand put into it? That makes sense.

So you are saying no props to a '69 ZL1 ? If so, thats makes sense along with the first one.

I would love to see what a Hellcat would run on a set of slicks. Someone with a Hellcat please do this

Although I agree with what can be done with an EVO engine or the legendary inline 6's from Nissan and Toyota, we are talking about OEM's here. The Helcat is impressive for what it is, 707 hp is SEVEN HUNDRED AND SEVEN HORSEPOWER!

Now I must say that everytime I see a pic of one its doing a burnout, BFD!!! I agree, let's see it out at the track ....all of them!
 
Btw Eaglefan, why is the ZL1 from a year before I was even born, even being brought into this debate when we're in the modern "good old days" right now and there's current monsters to bring up?
 
It was posted, " No props for making a car fast in a straight line".This was the reason for bringing up the ZL1, as it is a "Straight line" muscle car. It is one of the most sought after cars ever made. If a person can not give props to this car, then no car should get props. There were cars before this and after this that were/are built for this one purpose.
Hellcat with slicks, somebody please do this. Love to see what it will run in the 1/4.
