Being a tech for Chrysler, as part of our training, every month they issue videos as a way to introduce new models and highlight certain features and changes that may have occurred during a production run. Stuff like that. Nothing too heavy or specific. Last month was on the hellcat. I need to find a way to record that and post it here. Thats a wild motor. RC you would dig it.

Wish I could buy one, badass cars. I love seeing the pony wars starting all over again and as usual Mopar pulls out all the stops to smoke For and Chebbie.

Ive been out of the loop. Does this hellcat walk away from the shelby blower cars??

 

[moparmarks]

I want his job.
Yep Dodge sure got it right in all areas.
The whine of that blower sure gives me a woody.

Best video yet. No longer a pissing contest, the other contestants just got pissed on. 45 years later the evolution of the Herlitz e-body design continues. Similar shape and panache, bitchin power and hardware added.

You know its got to be awesome when it being compared to cars that cost 4 to 10 times the money

The Hellcat turned the quickest production ET.

But it's tight because the Hellcat is heavier.

very cool

It doesn't matter if you're a Mopar enthusiast or not, if you call yourself a "car guy" you have got to love what this car does and the way it goes about doing it, phenomenal job Chrysler!

saw a picture the other day of a bugatti veyron - 201mph in 1 mile
then saw the hellcat - 202.3 mph in 1 mile.

thats pretty cool

Pictures lie...

HP, aero, and weight are in favor of the Veyron. The Hellcat is cool, but it is not exempt from the laws of physics, no matter what the zealots say.

 

[benno440]

hellcat and veyron both weigh 4162lbs, plus didnt the hellcat come in more around the 850hp mark where the veyron is around 950hp. having a supercharger would get you to top speed faster than a N/A engine wouldnt it so the picture might not be too far from the truth. plus it is 1 millionth of the price

 

[Photon440]

No way the Challenger is quicker in the mile than a Veyron. You should take a look at the video that RC posted - 173.8 mph. in the mile.

Hellcat is over 4400 pounds. Veyron originally had 987 hp. but the new super sports have 1184 hp, both have far more torque than the hellcat. The hellcat is only two wheel drive. Neither is N/A, as the Veyron has four turbochargers.

However I love the Challenger design, but not the Veyron, so the hellcat still wins.

 

[Rocketman]

I wonder if one can change the sound without hurting the performance, I like everything but the sound

 

[Photon440]

Of course. Just saw off the mufflers.

 

[Rocketman]

Of course. Just saw off the mufflers.

LOL, I had a 09 SRT 8 and I went with flowmaster 44's , also removed the silencers at the end. It sounded old school

Zealot? This is a Mopar site. Price is in favor of the Hellcat.
