707 bhp, that should keep the mind focused.
Any spec updates on this. Colours etc. No hemi orange or plum crazy.
I've got the green light from the missus and my spanner man has some very good contacts state side.
Nothing in the new car world has excited me one little bit for many years which is why I run a 10 year old Lightning as my daily driver.
But this is giving me an itch that I need to scratch

How are you getting on with it? Saw in another thread that you'd picked one up.Any spec updates on this. Colours etc. No hemi orange or plum crazy.

What can I say but we both love it to bits. Had it just over a year. It is a proper weapon. Handles well, brakes are awesome and it goes like a scalded cat. The sound is proper big muscle V8. 26mpg on a run 18mpg around town unless you are a bit heavy footed. Traction is very good considering the power. Plus the looks you get are amazing. Nothing turns heads of all ages better than the Hellcat. Buy one and you won't be disappointed
I forgot to add forget a 950hp Challenger.
Add a 2.85" pulley and a tune for Super Unleaded and you will be making around 800 rear wheel horsepower. That is about as far as you can go with standard injectors and still be safe. The biggest issue is the electronic torque management of the gearbox. That is what the guys in the know are working on stateside. 9.58 for the quarter is the record at the moment with a terminal of 146 I believe. Incredible for a 2 tonne street car

Might swap my Challenger for a Tesla now.
Don't fret it. Looking at the guys stateside. The Tesla is ahead until the 1/8th. From the 1/8th to the 1/4 the Hellcat wins. Plus a Tesla will never sound like well anything. As awesome as the Tesla is it leaves me cold. Qudos to its performance but there is not much skill involved in being very quick. Make sure you have 100% charge. Wait for the green light and stomp the pedal to the floor. Can't to that in a Hellcat. You need to learn how to be quick Gassing Station | Yank Motors | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
