2015 SRT charger hellcat

[Clevy]

So I just saw a YouTube vid on this car. 204mph capable. Faster than the challenger hellcat.
So. What's the consensus. Grocery getter. 11 second quarter mile flat,from the factory with a warranty.
I was never really a dodge guy though I didn't not like them. Fastest family sedan on the planet.

Yes, do want! More sensible for those of us who can't use a coupe.

They aren't making many,it will be a collectible and that's all.

Hehehe

I'm not sure sensible is in any way applicable to this car,however that in no way affects the fact that I want one.

It pains me to even look at dodge knowing that my beloved mustang is out there,and it hurts even more that this 4 door sedan is faster.
I'm definitely giving dodge credit.

Anyone who can afford a 64K grocery getter should just get their groceries delivered.

+1

Which means most who buy one will treat it as a museum piece to preserve value and prevent depreciative wear & tear. They'll yearn to drive it lots and always be caught in the tug of war between preserving it's value through non-use vs taking it out and flogging the snot out of it as it was really meant to be driven.

I doubt that. Dodge will build as many as they can sell.

Museum piece. Why even own one.

Almost every SRT vehicle is low volume, thus very desirable and collectible. They never used to build too many of anything.

But these are different now that SRT is a stand alone brand:

Indeed. The dealer where I got my Ram had a Challenger and allowed me a drive. It is super impressive at any speed and makes fabulous noises.

I'm not a fan of the Challenger chassis tuning, it wallows and dives too much for my taste. But it is a real HELLCAT all the way!

I have a few pics. This one was sort of a dark grey. It was driven in to get its PDI and it still had the big chunk of blue insulation on the blower when I snapped the engine pic.

All the mechanics were pretty horny for it, LOL!
