Saw a hellcat being hauled to a dealer today

CALLAWAY11 · 03-27-2015, 01:12 AM

So I was in my Camaro today, driving to work and I see a car hauler with multiple dodge products on it being delivered. Lo and behold the last vehicle was a new challenger and I can barely see the hellcat symbol on the side. So I drop it down to second and catch up and there she was. Almost same color as mine and so bada$$! Not the best pictures but you get the drift. This would be my first one I've seen near me. Can't wait to catch up to one of these when the weather is warm.

I love seeing them. I live right beside the plant and have been seeing these for a while and I still rush up to a trailer every time I see one on there. Absolutely beautiful and the Badge on the side is unmistakable.

Not a Mopar fan But if moeny was no object, the Hellcat would be my car. I would take no SH*T from anyone on the street in a straight line with this car.

Dodge took a lot of time to make the Challenger right, but damn they did a great job

My buddy just got one of these

I attended the Barrett-Jackson auction in Scottsdale back in January and Dodge had a "silly" driving experience set up where a Hellcat Challenger drag races a regular SRT Challenger. They only raced for 100 yards or so....they were dead even. Just silly.

I agree. The Hellcat is a badass car.

I was looking at one at the Dodge dealer by my house the other day.

I will admit that 707 hp is amazing. However, the thing that I cannot understand is that they put the same width tires on it that my SS has. If I was Dodge, I would have stuffed the widest street tire I could find under that thing. ZL1's with 127 LESS hp are beating these things simply because there's not enough tire to plant all the horsepower to the ground. And yes I know that you can just buy aftermarket wheels, but if I just spent $60k on a car the last thing I would want to do is buy new wheels to make it function as intended.

Unless you happen to have a supercharged 427 under the hood of that RS of yours, pumping out about 700HP, you won't be catching up to a hellcat anytime soon!

His car is a Callaway Edition (Supercharged!).

They are impressive vehicles. They only thing I don't get is why Dodge mated them with All-Season tires from the factory.

Lol he has a Callaway Camaro I think he'll be fine.

If you look at what is car is making at the rearwheels, I do believe he has a pretty good chance!
