"FCA has announced revised badging to be used on all 6-Speed Stick Hellcats, which more clearly shows its showroom-stock racing potential.

The change is effective with start of production

Hemmings Daily has an interesting take on Old vs. New Challengers. A good article by Kurt Ernst:

A similar result, no doubt, would happen with Camaro and Mustang, as well...

I liked the article, and this is a Great time for those of us that are into cars, one day when the kids are gone I will get my 442 but until then I will enjoy my current ride.

How to get a 6-Speed Hellcat into the 11s, "stock"? THIS might work...

I certainly hope that you don't believe a word of that article that was clearly crafted to make light of all the Hellwhatever that has been in the news. Way to lie to sell copies Hot Rod. At least you could have put a very small disclaimer at the bottom of the article explaining the joke so that certain mentally challenged folks would know that you are joking.

No I knew it was just blowing smoke to get attention. The day I read it I thought it was funny. Why would Ford actually call anything Hellstang and actually bite off Dodge. Ford is better then that, however I do believe they will have a car with more then 707hp- just when that will be?

Some of you guys are quick to laugh @ a yes or no question - but it's cool though.

What times were Automatic Hellcats credited with? 11.2s on Pirellis? See how those times compare to this, "Dandy" Dick Landy's Automatic Hemi Dart, as "tested" by Motor Trend back in the day:

1500 lb. heavier car, on street tires, running the same times...AMAZING!

And the 68 car didn't have:

A/C
4 wheel power disks
Full exhaust
IRS
3.06 gears
8 speed auto
Stereo
Seats 4
etc

You're comparing a SuperStock heavily modified racer to a modern street legal fully production certified GT coupe

He smiled....hugged me...and the ran off....What does that mean?
