MY NEW $83,000 WIDEBODY HELLCAT CHALLENGER HAS MORE DAMAGE AGAIN

by Wes

John’s widebody Hellcat Challenger cost $83,000, and according to this video, it’s developed damage again — the kind that’s split his comment section between “take it to the dealer immediately” and “that’s just modern Hellcat ownership.” Between an electrical tape debate and a stability control fault viewers are tracing back to the shocks, this is less a build reveal than a real-time look at what owning a heavily modified, six-figure-adjacent Mopar actually involves. Watch to see what breaks next.

2016 Hellcat battles CTS-V Cadillac-1/4 mile drag race

by Wes

A 707 horsepower 2016 Dodge Hellcat takes on a 556 horsepower Cadillac CTS-V in a straight-line battle between two of the mid-2010s most powerful factory muscle cars. The Hellcat crosses the line first, but commenters noted its supercharger showed real stress by the end of the run while the CTS-V drove home clean. The comment section has been arguing about which car actually won ever since. Watch the run and see which result matters more to you.

At the 2017 Detroit Auto Show, Dodge let visitors drive a 707-horsepower Hellcat Challenger without leaving the showroom floor. The rig moved with every brake, throttle, and steering input, syncing to a virtual track on a wall of screens. It was one of the most talked-about attractions at that year’s North American International Auto Show. Read on to find out how Dodge pulled off the stunt.

Hellcat Challenger runs 11.2 – Drag Race

by Kiril

An eleven-second quarter mile used to require a roll cage, slick tires, and a trailer to get home. The Challenger SRT Hellcat did it with power windows, a back seat, and a factory warranty. The supercharged HEMI that made it possible set off a horsepower war among all three American pony cars. Read on for the numbers, the arms race that followed, and where it all ended up.

Shelby GT350 vs Hellcat Challenger (BOTH STOCK)

by Wes

TheBayAreaRacing lined up two stock modern muscle cars with a nearly 180-horsepower gap between them – a supercharged Hellcat Challenger against a naturally aspirated Shelby GT350 – and the trap speeds came back closer than the spec sheet would suggest. One viewer’s verdict had nothing to do with the numbers at all: nothing sounds better than these Mustangs. Watch to see how a flat-plane-crank V8 held its own against a supercharger.
