They made an even bigger one called the Demon which has more than 800hp. In case 707hp is not enough.
Yeah, isn't it about 850 the demon ? There's a widebody version of the Hellcat too - some wider rubber to help put the power down. I might take a look at wider wheels on the rear for mine.Cool.
How "special" does it feel inside compared to the boggo V6 version? Does it mask that side of things quite well, or are there still hints of it in materials/build etc? I'm always impressed with the value for money of US market stuff in terms of grunt for the price, but they don't always feel like they've done all they could on other aspects.

Great choice OP, I've got one.
Never imagine she's fast in the real world. You'll be left for dead off the line by most things.
Of course, that's because you have deliberately lit up the rears and be laughing too hard to concentrate.
Either modify the exhaust or get something like a borla. You'll love it. Mine has no silencers, and the valves are permanently open (+few other mods).
Wicked fun. Most fun car I've ever owned (see profile....)
Do tell more, and post a pic if you want.Never imagine she's fast in the real world. You'll be left for dead off the line by most things.

InitDave. I don't know - I haven't sat in my own car yet, let alone a V6. I have sat in a Hellcat and there is a bit of hard plastic amongst the leather and alcantara. But I'm used to US cars and anyway the Hellcat feels better than my old Viper. And the Viper was fine by me.
I'll get to have a look at the car this weekend.

I agree! All that limp-wristed Euro trash like the M5, "Maclarens" and that really boring GT2 or something.. How rubbish..
All at least double the price...the point we buy small hatches, in American they buy proper cars.Edited by The Spruce goose on Monday 27th November 22:16

Absolutely love these (and their Charger counter-part). Someone in West London has a black one and it was parked next to my 6 series one time - my 6 looked tiny in comparison - they really are big big cars.
One of the (small) reasons I plumped for the Hellcat is the useable back seat.Running a close second was a new GT350 Mustang.
I was considering a Camaro, but the back seats in the new cars are next to useless - may as well get a 2 seater.
The challenger is a big car. It's based on the Mercedes Benz W210 E Class Platform from 1995-2002. FCA has been talking about building the next one on the Alfa Romeo Gulia platform but that's on hold. Fiat has not invested any money on new model design, but instead spent on improving existing designs and adding technology. For this reason, I suspect that Fiat is trying to find a new buyer for the company.
Someone mentioned interiors earlier on. The Challenger had a redesign a few years ago and the interior quality improved about 1000%.

You're not wrong. I've had a 2014 SRT8 for a good couple of years now. I always knew it was big, but was really surprised to find it was longer than the Mrs's LR Discovery 3. Looking at the dimensions, its a good 8" longer. Staggering when you consider the interior space isn't all that!Gassing Station | Readers' Cars | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
