Here's my (yet to be picked up) Challenger Hellcat.
707 hp, supercharged, 6.2l of V8 goodness.
It's just arrived at the dealers, from the US, so needs IVA and registration before I pick it up.
For the time being here are some pics the dealer sent me.

Awesome!

How does it work with one of those over here regarding the supplying dealer? Where does it go for warranty claims and servicing and stuff?

Love the aggressiveness of the design and those seats look super comfortable but what interests me the most from the pics is the infotainment system which looks like it allows you to tailor the cars setup in some depth.

Let us know what’s it’s like when it gets delivered!

Very nice car. Looks like the paint needs a detail though. Too much sun maybe?

Proper angry car, the yanks make some really manly cars not like the euro crap we get here. Bet you can't wait to set the beast free on the open roads.

Warranty I guess is just the minimum the dealer needs to supply.
Servicing I'll do myself.

Yes there's 'track', 'street' etc presets, and the ability to alter individual things yourself - like speed of gearchange, enabling flappy paddles, valet mode, etc

I think it's just a bit dirty. It just got off the boat from the US.

I've read the best way to get it off the line quickly is start in 2nd, and then move it to full auto once you're on the move.

My cousin owns a Dodge dealership in Texas and on a recent trip he let me have a quick spin in one.

They are terrific! I think if they were making Smokey & the Bandit today then this would be the car that they use for it.

What a fantastic beast!
Makes a great alternative to the M/AMG/RS Germo barges.

Good idea - keep those Pirellis alight for longer.

Cool thing; sounds like it'll be with you just in time for the...

Snow. 707 BHP and snow.

I shall pray for you.

I'd have one of these in a heartbeat if funds allowed. I'll have to console myself with my measly 415bhp V8. I'd be interested to hear of your impressions of driving it on UK roads.

I agree! All that limp-wristed Euro trash like the M5, "Maclarens" and that really boring GT2 or something.. How rubbish.. wink
