I have been thinking about this hellcat version for a bit. Up until now I really didn't have any reason to think about the new Challenger. On the west coast there was a bunch of guys outside a bakery/eatery with two newer hemi Challengers and a third I don't recall. My mother was with me and she took a minute to speak with them telling about my sister and her '70 Challenger adventures. I took a look at them but never had an interest in even taking one for a ride. I did show up at their get together with a vintage model Challenger at a later time.

My first thoughts on this. They were heavy back in 1970 and I bet they are heavier then their competition still. lol

I was never a fan of NASCAR but reading the specs this entered my thoughts. I fully understand the engineering of modern race cars and their safety specifications. However seeing all this horsepower wouldn't it be nice if NASCAR would take this HellCat, strip it down, put a roll bar in and actually race a production model again.

I think that same engine is going into the Charger makes sense.


I attended this grass roots Maximum Acceleration event in Cuba earlier this year and still wish I could have had one of these babies to tear down their 400 meter event. Going back around labor day if cargo reaches its destination. I think there is a movie from last years event that should be out by now. Tells all about the car culture in Cuba.

Edit: so those SRT Challengers state 425 horses and the Petty 610.
