Dodge made it official, announcing it would offer a supercharged V-8 in the Challenger SRT good for more than 600 hp. The question it didn't answer was: Just how much more?Along with the new power comes the expected set of more complicated electronic controls — four drive modes, along with a "valet" command to keep the SRT from being Ferris Bueller-ed. The Hellcat can be paired with either a six-speed manual or a new eight-speed automatic. Most other parts of the Challenger receive some kind of upgrade as well, from the front fascia to a taller rear spoiler to the brakes and tires, which go all the way up to Pirelli P-Zero spec for the Hellcat. 4951

@FoFa:
 
Needs to be slammed just a tad and put some wider tires on it. Then we'll talk. 4951

too many speeding tickets.
 
@Retired_Engineer: just because it will go fast, doesn't mean it has too.

@FoFa:  My foot doesn't know that!  And my body likes to be pushed back into the seat.  In a muscle car, my body mutinees against my brain!  EmoticonI've been that way since I was a teen.  A neighbor had a muscle car. He would put a $20 bill on top of his dashboard.  Once he hit the gas, if you could reach the bill before he hit 4th gear, you could keep it.  I never got one of his $20 bills!

@Retired_Engineer: When I was a teenager, not old to drive, but close, so 14-15 maybe (it was a long time ago in the early 70's), my dad had a friend who raced funny cars as a hobby (no big name or anything). He invited my dad who asked if I could go also because I was the one into cars, and he said come on down.
So it was a trial or test day (not competition) so he asked dad if he wanted to ride along on a run. Dad jumped at the chance, while I was jealous, but bite my tongue. So his pit crew (bunch of beer drinking friends) pull out the passenger seat, open the body and bolt it, the safety harness etc. in) Dad gets dressed up in the protective clothing, and goes on a run.Dad was speechless pretty much when they got back.His friend looks at me and says since the seat is in, if I get dressed I can go on the second run.I was dressed before they got it ready for run 2.It was noisy, even with the helmet, smelly, dirty, pushed you back in the seat like you could not believe.It was terrifying, exhilarating, and the most fun I have had in about 9 seconds ever.I totally understand why dad was speechless now.It happens so quick, it is amazing.NOISE, smoke, fumes, NOISE, blur, shock when the chute opens, and then you are done.In about the same amount of time to read these two sentences, unless you are a slow reader, then faster. 4951

Specific power output is a joke, as is usual for a domestic manufacturer.Less than 100bhp per litre WITH a blower, lol... no thanks.A well engineered 6.2L engine should be producing 600-700HP in on itself, and figure 50% more with a blower. It is a 2.4L positive displacement twin screw blower @ 11.6psi. Those power figures are truly abysmal. 4951

@FoFa: I would take the $75k, buy a $5k VW, and build a 1000+ hp Veyron killer. Then I'd take the leftover money and go on a long vacation. Most likely a road trip. 4951
