2015 Charger HellCat 700hp/11.0 ET!
Holy crap.. Dodge just released it's 2015 Dodge Charger Hellcat to the public.
http://www.autonews.com/article/2014...15-charger-srt
bone stock 11.0@120+ mph!
I believe the prices start at a measly $60k!!!
I don't plan on getting one but damn that's an amazing sedan.. WOW!
I can't wait for it to get some drag radials and run some 10's in that bad boy!

In the Charger or the Challenger??
Having owned a few Charger's already, I think for me I would have to get a Challenger this time around and then park it all winter lol.. $60k investment that only gets driven like four months out of the year! What the heck, eh?

ummm..... damn! Go Dodge!
Honestly, for me, I'd rather swap in a forged 392 into mine and then put a blower on it. The AWD is too valuable to give up! Hellcat would amazing for the summer but will leave me neck deep and stranded in the winter with our surprise blizzards out of nowhere lol
Looks really sharp though! I can't wait for it to start popping up at the tracks to lay down some solid numbers!

Auto transmission only, don't need a stick to slow ya down in it. Well, I know what new car I'm buying next. Though I'll wait for the 2nd year, let them bump the power a little bit. Would be quite a bit slower than my current Charger, but holy hell it'd be nice to get a Hellcat and keep it stock(ish) lol.

Ditto.. my current Charger (same chassis as the Hellcat) is super roomy and feels very comfortable in every way!
Yes sir.. got the new 8 speeds as well!
One of the biggest caveats of the older NAG1 5 speed auto was that the programming had to be modified extensively before it got any performance out of it, but then you had a jerky, aggressive shifting trans. Great for the track but can get annoying day to day
My car used to clunk, thud and jerk even when the trans shifted on it's own cruising around, my girl hated it so I had to lower the settings in Drive and left maxed out in autostick lol
Ditto.. it's been awhile since they've had anything to compete against the 5.0's, GT500's and ZL1's!
Considering it does so at 4450+ lbs. is also quite a feat in itself! lol I can imagine them at the board meeting.." instead of cutting weight, let's just up the hp to.. saaaaaaayy.. 700hp?? sound good to everyone? Great! Lets get to it!"
Nothing like a stock car running great times! And warranty too!
