Drove my nephew's Hellcat the other day. Lit em up then went to half pedal. Just about to nail it when my nephew leaned over and said You know you're doing a hundred right? I didn' want to see any more. Glad he caught me in time! Sheesh!
Hellcat test drive--YIKES!

Whoever would have thought there'd be cars like this ever again from Detroit? With all the changes the Chrysler Corp. has been through in the last 2 decades it's good to know there have been some people on their staff that still know what North American buyers want and know how to deliver the goods. All in a package that, even though released way back in 2008, has kept in the forefront of technology, and is soooo much better looking than the Camaro or Mustang. Those are both good (great?) cars in their own rights too. Brand preference and styling will always be a hotly-contested topic (as it should be), but for my money when Mopar wants to make a performance car, they always set the bar for others to catch. Always have, and (hopefully) always will. It's a great time to be a car enthusiast.

.
mine actually went to the dealer for repairs, had a little rubblng noise from rear end sounded like tire rubbing the inner fender been that way for two years, dealer was informed immediatly but they couldn't find anything. the dealer i bought it from was a home town style dealership that just got bought out by a big city dealer, so they suck now and all the good mechanics left, all about the bottom dollar to alot of those guys, but took it to another dealer, they said there was a service bulleton about changing the type of fluid in the rear which would correct it, well they did it but said it still wasn't right, so the new unit was ordered,(being a non serviceable unit) so being a week out, and me keeping the car indoors and climate controlled I brought it home, driving the car home the rubbing noise seems to have disappeared. but the clutches in there are still not holding like they should according to them. amazing what different oil can do. will be dropping it off wednesday for the new irs.

My "Kitty killer" I have lined up against 3 Hellcats. Never saw them again. And new Cameros? Forget about it. But an older Chevelle with duels pushed out the top? Now that's something to worry about. The new stuff with their factory power adders are fast. But if I had 20 lbs of boost? My poor Duster would fly apart at the end of 1320 in under 8 sec.
here's my new turd i bought for my next project, colorado car, pretty much rust free garage paint job, I'm guessing somewhere in the 18's lol

Looks like an awesome platform to start. And a healthy 340 will easily go under 18?
unfortunately its a 318 car, punched out with 360 heads suppossily. but it has possibilities.
Brampton, Unions, Mexico. WTF. This is about Hellcats. Our Brand rules. FCA. It’s OK that it it’s screwed together by our northern neighbors, the boys in Brampton.

In 2015 I ordered a Challenger R/T for the Wife.
We opted for the base 5.7L Hemi. Now I know what it must have been like to buy a 383 Road Runner when others got the 440-6 or the 426 Hemi.

I sold my baseline '69 Roadrunner with 383 /w 727 trans. Just for what you sited. My '69 GTX with 440 4-speed? Totally outperformed and out "Cool factored" So it is still true today.

I have a friend has a 2017 392 scat pack charger. It is pretty fast but cant compete with the hellcats. I do think it may last longer and have less parts break. I would love to have the engine, trans and electronics from one of the scat packs in my 67 Charger.
no courage involved, I have a great respect for latin folks mainly because of there family morals, I was up in mountains above Acapulco about 15 years ago for my nephews 2nd birthday, they had several people in costumes like barney and spongebob. there must have been 50 people there, i only understood a few words so the language barrier was a little of a hurdle in the begining, but as the cervesa's started flowing, ended up having and incredibly good time not knowing hardly what anyone was saying.No problemo

Been doing builds on dodge.com. No Yellow available now. Love the red interiors, but have to get black to get them. Not crazy about the 50th colors, and it has to be a Cat. My Blown 09 is finally sorted out, rattle free, and Bitchin. If I get a new Cat and it has a rattle or something, I’ll have sellers remorse. Won’t buy a seconded or third owner, must be new. The 09 Orange car is just too nice to let go.
