Certainly not concerned if it's a manual Hellcat based on the time above. Beat my V in what way? Style? Luxury? Balance? Engagement? Comfort? Reliability? Road course?
The V has been embarrasing Challengers, Chargers and 300's on the street, drag-strips, and road courses since 2008. Nice of Dodge to step up...6 years later.
My brand new fully loaded V sedan cost $61k out the door. How much more did I pay vs Hellokitty? Is Dodge going to give me 4 years free maintenance, roadside assistance, bumper-to-bumper warranty if I drop $60k on a Challenger? |
You buy what you like, I'll buy what I like. No need to bash.
Once the car hits the streets, we will all see a wide range of numbers - and mine will be first hand, not what I've read from someone testing a pre production car that has been passed around for all to beat. The Hellcat did Dyno 635 RWHP/592 TQ...not shabby numbers at all and that is with 0 after market mods.
I'm choosing the 8 spd automatic and those times look fine to me as it will be my daily driver. I have no interest in beating the car up at the track every weekend. I'll leave that to the young guys to bump their chests for.
