Belltown Hellcat - Black Ghost of the future?

[GrabberOrange69]

The year is 2070. Electric cars are the only new cars allowed to be sold. To run your classic, you buy gasoline in 5 gallon drums. The generation born today will have never known the sound of a v8 exhaust at minimum muffler, buy one new, or cruise it. They only know the antiseptic hum of electric motors.

Then, across the auction block rolls this car: the “Belltown Hellcat”. Will a car known on the streets for its exhaust note inspire? Will it be the “Black Ghost” of 2070, will tales of motor reving in the wee hours inspire fervent bidding? You be the judge.

Belltown Hellcat, impounded?

“The owner of the Hellcat, 21-year-old Miles Hudson, was previously ordered by a Seattle judge to stop driving his modified Dodge Charger on public streets. Hudson's vehicle is known for its loud exhaust, which has woken up many Seattle residents as he sped through the Belltown neighborhood late at night.

The picture of the towed Belltown Hellcat was posted to the r/Seattle subreddit just after 3:30 p.m., with user shynips titling the post, "F--- you Miles!"

Hudson also had an Instagram profile where he posted videos of him driving recklessly throughout the city, gaining a large following. In response, a judge restricted his social media use, requiring him to cease posting to his Instagram or streaming on Twitch while under litigation.

It's currently unknown if the vehicle was being impounded, as it was spotted on the Ballard Bridge last week, in violation of his court order.”

ILMAO at the whole thing. Never heard of the Belltown Hellcat before. We were street racing in the day. They are motor reving, lol.

The Black Ghost story (as cool as it is) is 95% fiction, and so it paints the car and owner as heroes. The Belltown Hellcat story is 100% real, and he's no hero, anti-hero or street racer.... just an A-hole who gets off annoying people and feeding his ego. I don't see any correlation. I think they could make more money than an auction by selling tickets to see his car crushed and watching him cry.

The black ghost story is just that, a story. To think that this mysterious stock black Hemi Challenger R/T was showing up on Woodward Ave,taking out the heavy hitters,running 9 second cars,then disappearing into the night is pure unadulterated fiction. I have no doubt that the Hemi Challenger R/T was a formidable muscle car,against most street driven muscle cars,and probably did handle most of them easily, but not against the real hardcore street racers. They 2023 Black Ghost Challenger Hellcats are for sale in the 150k plus range,with just the color and a decal on the roof separating them from any Hellcat Challenger. The son sold the car and the tale that went along with it. When the kid pulled the car out of the garage and had someone get it into running condition, he made a video of him driving the car around and it was chugging smoke between shifts like a very tired Hemi. The guy in the annoying Hellcatt Charger is just that,annoying!

Probably
Be a better story, more believable, than the current recent fabricated story
'the Ghost' 1970 Challenger, as cool of a car, or the concept, it's story is not real

Just to hype & sell a car, at auction, for far more than it's actual value
some bought in, most know the truth/reality didn't...

It's not to demean the man & his service, LEO/PD & Military,
just a story otherwise

As if that car will run in 2070. That's 30-40 ground wires and at least a half dozen BCU's or ECU's toast by then.
All that car will do when you hook a battery to it in 50 years will be make odd sounds, maybe make some smoke coming up from the center console and have the guage cluster act haywire while the volts go where they aren;t supposed to.
