Still haven't seen anything that's surprised me. How will the manual transmission Hellcat stack up to the manual transmission only GT500? How will it handle a road course? How much will it cost? Forgive me if I don't take a Dodge promo video as gospel. I'll reserve comment on straight-line performance for when I see some external reviews.

on another note every 2014 GT500 and ZL1 owner just got stage 4 buyers remorse.

It's trapping the same as the GT500. It's a drivers race. Believe me no GT500 owner will have remorse lol.

I thought this was a joke when I first read this. Looks like Dodge is stepping up their game. Makes me curious as to what Chevy is going to answer back with. http://autos.yahoo.com/blogs/motoram...-153150501.htm

That's okay..this creates great competition between manufacturers.

While I like Chevy then Dodge then Ford...I'm just glad it's American Muscle.

Hellcat gets them all around. The SET gets the bigger fronts with the 4 corner biggies optional as I understand it.

Yup... bet it will get lower with a different driver/better conditions... that's ZR1 territory

Mmar88 · 07-11-2014, 06:40 PM

I think it was using the 8spd auto...idk what else is going to make a difference. Reaction time?

If that price is accurate, I'll be in line at the nearest Dodge dealer on August 8th.

Trap speed doesn't tell the story...your average stock GT500 is a 11.9 car, the Tranny in the Shelby is a POS and hobbles the car. It takes a tune, pulley and CAI at least to get a GT500 in the 10's on DR's

This is from Allpar.com:

"The SRT with Hellcat has the largest front-brake package ever offered in an SRT vehicle, with 390-mm (15.4-inch) Brembo two-piece rotors with six-piston calipers; this is also available on the 392 HEMI® SRT model as part of the SRT Track Pack. New anti-lock braking system (ABS), ESC and traction control systems are configurable for specific tire and powertrain configurations."

On the video, during the burnout (2:32 of the video), it looked like 4 piston Brembos, but smaller rotors. Still good IMHO. This is a true muscle car...with lots of gobbs of GO and whole lotta WHOA!!! I would like to see how it does on a road course also, based on the suspension package listed. Should be interesting.

Well I guess 11.2 on at street tire and 10.85 on DR's NHRA cert is not good enough

You think a guy with a 730 HP ZL1 is now going to wish he had a Challenger?
