2015 Challenger Hellcat 707 HP - Page 177

I guess, once I reached my twenties, the appeal of burning off a set of $700 tires was greatly diminished. Other than that, what other piece of marketing can we expect, regarding Hellcats? High School cheerleaders shaking their pompoms, perhaps?

I like this Autoweek quote
"If the choice was between this, the ZL1 and GT500 for a daily driver….I’d have to take this. Lots of space in both the front and back seats, and I tossed a set of golf clubs in the trunk from 10 feet away. You have to cut your clubs in half to fit them in the Camaro. Of course, if I was looking for track work, it would be the GT500, power, weight and all that. - See more at: http://autoweek.com/article/car-revi....GedtjFix.dpuf

So what would you pick the ZL1 for than? Looks? Because I definitely don't like the new challenger taillights nor the split grill! The ZL1 is a better track car than the GT500 and I love how you would pick a new platform and design over a old one! I wonder what you would have pick for a DD before you new about the Hellcat!

HellCat this and GT that but no discussion on a car that can do it all well;
ride- drive- race- turn- every day DD.
There is only one answer= ZL1

It's a real pretty drift car. Dodge could sponsor and dominate an all stock class.?.?.

It seems like they had fun in the Hellcat, which I think is the point of a car like this..

I loved this quote:

Quote:

And then, press its throttle all the way down, go on, you know you want to, and the Hellcat becomes a rampaging beast that it is, its full 707 hp on tap…it invites overblown hyperbole. Turning the traction control off probably puts you on an NSA watchlist. “Launch Control” should really be renamed “Burnout Control.” This car is your buddy who keeps yelling at you, “DON’T BE A WUSS!”

How dare they, don't they know that anything positive related to the Hellcat will not be tolerated?

For the interior room, backseat that will take adults, trunk that you can use I will take the Challenger for a DD, as you never know when you will need both. There is no way that the Camaro and Mustang can do that.

Autoweek quote

Being such a big car, the back seat can actually accommodate two adults in decent comfort, and the trunk is gigantic. - See more at: http://autoweek.com/article/car-revi....3mvIIaM7.dpuf

Stopping from 60 they had 102' and 105

You think that is phenomenal out of a 707 HP car with 650 lb-ft?

Alain · 11-20-2014, 12:18 PM

Not looking to get into a debate my man, save me the song and dance about weight. But yes I do.

hotlap · 11-20-2014, 01:26 PM

Burnouts, drifting and top speed of 199 mph with a front splitter designed for optimal downforce to "minimize" lift.

Sounds like more fun than a tornado in a trailer park!

Was just wondering what your thought process was because its closest competitor runs an 11.7 with less HP and lb-ft.
