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!
Yes there's 'track', 'street' etc presets, and the ability to alter individual things yourself - like speed of gearchange, enabling flappy paddles, valet mode, etcLet us know what’s it’s like when it gets delivered!

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.fesuvious said:
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....)

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.

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.

Congrats mate, you'll love it.
I've had mine since April this year and it is by far the most lovable car I've ever had. Completely bone stock and I don't actually think it needs any mods at all. Exhaust note is great, handles surprisingly well, comfortable cruiser and above 50 mph or so, no traction problems at all
So much more exciting than all other cars I've had. I actually think the spec it comes with as standard is very decent. It also feels completely bullet proof. Not wishing to jinx anything, it has absolutely no rattles at all and feels very well made.
Enjoy!

Good to hear. Any idea who you might be using for work on the car? So far I have used an independent I know and trust who specialises in Japanese cars. The hellcat hasn't needed anything more than oil changes though.
Would like to find a decent american car specialist around the M25 area.
I've heard good things adout Redline American Muscle. Anywhere near you ? I'll service the car myself.Would like to find a decent american car specialist around the M25 area.
Rockauto - will bare them in mind.
That new hood scoop looks good !
I've not had much chance to drive the car since I got it, but now I'm taking it to Sweden via Amsterdam. Should be a good chance to get to know it. Though I already know the pedal on the right doesn't need much pressure to reach silly speeds

And now for some roadtrip pics.
Leaving 'the toon'.
Usually some interesting cars on the ferries. This trip was no exception. Aside from the Shelby coupe, a couple of 60's racing Mustangs, a troop of classic minis, there was this old girl almost next door to me. A 1929 RR that 2 old gents were driving down to Monte Carlo.
Next morning, arrived in a sunny Amsterdam.
And arrived in Odense, Denmark for an overnight after about 760 kms.
Holland was brilliant with its silky smooth motorways. Germany was 60% roadworks, 30% limited motorways, and 10% fun on autobahn.
Next day was another bright day leaving Denmark, over the first long bridge from Odense towards Copenhagen, and then the tunnel and bridge to Sweden.
The last half of the journey was mostly A and B roads, virtually without traffic.
Usual road trip peppered front.
