It will be interesting to see what the root cause really was.

I wouldn't consider total engine failure on a $100k flagship car a "gremlin".

Somehow the Dodge Hellcat motors have managed to still stay together at 60hp higher than the LT4. SRT tested the Hellcat at 825hp so I'm sure they have done their homework.

Like I said, hopefully its something not caused from a core component in the engine, and that there is a simple explanation.
