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 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody gets turned loose on a stretch of German Autobahn with no posted limit, clawing toward 185 mph. Partway through the run, a phone breaks free from its mount — and the driver makes a split-second call viewers are still talking about. Here’s what the run reveals about America’s fastest four-door.
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.
Four doors, a trunk, and — in some cases — more horsepower than the muscle cars they get compared to. From Dodge’s 707-hp Hellcat sedan to a Holden-built Chevrolet SS with a manual transmission, these sedans prove the muscle car formula survived long after two-door coupes stopped being the only way to build one. Read on to see which family cars are actually the quickest thing in the driveway.
TheStraightPipes put a 2020 Dodge Charger Hellcat Widebody up against the cars it has no business competing with — a Mercedes-AMG E63, a BMW M5 Competition, and even its own two-door sibling, the Challenger Hellcat Widebody. With 707 supercharged horsepower and a widened stance borrowed from the Demon, the family sedan does not just keep pace on paper. Over 1.2 million viewers have weighed in on whether four doors, a usable back seat, and genuine trunk space make this the smartest way to buy into Hellcat ownership.
Autotrader’s Rory imports a 797-horsepower, left-hand-drive Hellcat Redeye to answer one genuinely practical question: can it actually work as a daily driver on British roads? Between narrow lanes, tight roundabouts, and a supercharger bigger than most European engines, the answer isn’t obvious going in. One longtime UK owner says it’s been worth every complication since 2015, and the review explains why.
A Corvette racing a three-row family SUV sounds like an easy call on paper, but the 2006-2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 hid a 420-horsepower Hemi under its ordinary sheet metal that made the outcome far closer than the horsepower numbers suggest. Between the LS2’s 4.1-second 0-60 time, the SRT8’s nearly ton-and-a-half weight disadvantage, and a four-wheel-drive launch advantage, this matchup has more layers than a typical drag strip mismatch. Read on to find out which car actually crosses the line first.
Marspeed’s rundown of forgotten Dodge and Chrysler SRT models digs up five performance cars that history left behind — a turbocharged economy car, a German-flavored coupe, a Hemi-powered family wagon, and a full-size pickup running a Viper’s V10 under the hood. Each one carried real performance credentials in its day, yet all five have faded from the SRT conversation entirely. Some command real money today; others remain surprisingly affordable bargains. See which one you’d forgotten existed.
By 2014, the Dodge Charger SRT8 packed a 470-horsepower V8 and genuine track-ready braking into a car still priced around $30,000 — less than half what comparable European performance sedans cost at the time. Getting there took three model years of shared engineering with the Chrysler 300, a redesigned face, and an engine lineup that kept growing without ever changing the car’s basic bones. Read on to find out how this generation closed out with a genuine value argument, not just an attitude.
A Nest camera notification let this SRT8 Jeep owner watch, in real time, as someone went through his vehicle outside his own house — and he ran out barefoot with a firearm to confront them. He explains exactly why he did it, what Pennsylvania law allowed, and how his Jeep ended up unlocked in the first place. Watch the full account, in his own words.
