It's official, the new Hellcat is rated at 707HP besting the Viper by 67HP. Now what?

holy $&%^#$^$%&$*!!!!! I was figuring it would be 666hp...with the name hellcat and all

 

[Coyoteduster]

I heard rumors that it had twisted the dyno above 700 during testing, but I damn sure didn't think they would release it with more HP than the viper! The rules have changed and I'll bet there are a bunch of pissed off Viper owners!

MarPar maybe 666 Torque...LOL

that's a pretty damn cool commercial too :headbang:

I doubt it. The viper is still no slouch and they still get bragging rights for having the highest hp for a naturally aspirated production car. And no matter how much power the challenger makes, the viper will kick its *** on a road course

very true, the Viper pulls something like 1.2 g's on the skidpad, right?

Wow, that looks pretty impressive. I wonder what the 1/4 mile times would be in stock trim? Anyone hazard a guess?
The Dodge website says that the Hellcat Challenger will come with two key fobs. The black fob electronically limits the horsepower to 500. The red fob lets all 707HP come on. So remember, give your teenager the black key fob. YEA RIGHT!!!!!

12 ohs to teens at 127-130ish w/ a decent driver.

viper guys still have the edge over the new hellcat ! that's weight vipers are very light with every attempt to keep it light so 1/4 mile wise viper should still win and that's fine I never was turned on by a viper I mean don't get me wrong they are very cool but I always new they would be out of my reach but this new hellcat now this is a poor mans viper so to say so this poor man will take 1:3gears:

Might have to do a litte shopping...

I'm thinkin' north of 70K.

Don't forget the additional "adjusted market value" from the stealerships.

Dont be suckered into buying new. These things will show up used with 5 to 10 thousand miles on them for much lower than sticker price. Be patient.
