A 1972 Dodge Challenger arrived during the weakest years Detroit’s muscle cars ever saw, topping out at 240 factory horsepower with no Hemi in sight. Car Craft’s revived build series just swapped in Mopar’s 807-horsepower Hellcrate Redeye, the same crate engine Dodge sells over the counter. The bigger challenge wasn’t the engine itself, but getting a car never designed for fuel injection to survive it.
Every other muscle car nameplate has gone electric, gone away, or gone soft trying to chase sports car rivals twice its price. The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat did none of those things, staying loud, huge, and supercharged right up until production ended for good. Borrowed from UK specialist importer Clive Sutton for this review, it sets out to answer a pointed question: with rivals increasingly drifting toward supercar territory, is this genuinely the last great muscle car? Watch to see the case this drive makes.
A mysterious triple-black Dodge Challenger terrorized Detroit’s street racing scene for years, vanishing after every win before anyone could identify the driver. Decades later, his own son helped uncover the truth: the man behind the wheel was a decorated Army veteran and Detroit motorcycle cop who couldn’t risk being caught. The Black Ghost eventually sold for $975,000 — but its real value was the story nobody knew until it was gone.
An editor spent hours splicing together the greatest car chases from more than a dozen films, Bullitt, The French Connection, Vanishing Point, Mad Max, and beyond, into one continuous five-minute sequence. The result plays like an entire decade of practical stunt driving compressed into a single unbroken chase. Watch to see how many of these iconic films you can spot.
Dodge’s Hellcat Redeye made 797 horsepower before it ever got wider tires to handle it. The factory Widebody package added 3.5 inches of fender and a set of 305-section Pirellis, turning a car that could spin its tires in third gear into a 10.8-second quarter-miler. Production ended in 2023, so every one left on the road is now a fixed piece of muscle car history.
A 2025 highlight reel of car-meet burnouts and exhaust notes is going viral for an unlikely reason — a plain four-door Nova stealing the spotlight from a 425-horsepower Hemi Challenger. Here’s what actually made the crowd favorites roar, and why a spec sheet rarely predicts which car steals the show.
A battered Dodge Challenger sat forgotten in an Australian garage for years, its owner unaware of what he had until he saw the same car in a movie trailer. It is a 1971 dressed as a 1970, built to survive one of the most dangerous practical stunts of the 2000s, with reinforced door frames welded on so a stuntwoman could ride the hood. Read on for how it was built, how it was found, and what a screen-used car is really worth.
A Cleveland engine shop is turning genuine 797-horsepower Hellcat Redeye HEMIs into complete, pre-wired units that ship on a pallet and bolt into nearly any Challenger. The clip proves the concept about as literally as possible, firing the motor with nothing else attached. Here’s what’s actually inside the swap, and why Dodge never sold this powertrain as a standalone option.
A narrow-body 2022 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye is a reminder of exactly what Dodge walked away from in December 2023: 797 horsepower, a supercharged Hemi V8, and a nameplate that outlasted every other pony car built on the same 2008 blueprint. Here’s what this generation’s final chapter actually drove and sounded like — and why fans still haven’t let go.
For the 2022 Dodge Challenger SRT Jailbreak, Dodge scrapped its usual color-and-trim restrictions and let buyers build almost any combination they wanted — on top of an 807-horsepower supercharged HEMI. Here is what made the last of Dodge’s rule-breaking Challengers such a standout, and why it is already one of the more collectible late-era Hellcats.
Raiti’s Rides asks a question modern Challenger buyers keep circling back to: is the naturally aspirated SRT 392, quietly overshadowed by the supercharged Hellcat, actually the smarter used muscle car purchase? With 485 horsepower from a 6.4-liter HEMI, a modern ZF eight-speed automatic, and a used-market price well below Hellcat territory, the SRT 392 makes a compelling case for buyers who do not need 707 horsepower to enjoy every drive. Owners in the comments seem to agree.
Lee bought a burned-out Dodge Demon at a Las Vegas salvage auction with no idea what he was getting into — then decided to give it something Dodge never offered on any Demon: a manual transmission. The full build video covers every setback along the way, from fire damage to the wiring fights that came with it. The ScrapLife family documents the whole thing in detail.
