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.

TheStraightPipes reviews the 807-horsepower Dodge Charger Hellcat Redeye Jailbreak at $128,545 CAD, and it turns into something closer to a eulogy than a spec-sheet breakdown. Viewers are calling it the channel’s most comprehensively edited Hellcat video yet, built around a supercharger whine they say never gets old and a reviewer’s kid who sums up the whole car in one word. Watch to see Dodge’s V8 send-off before the Hellcat era officially ends.

A stock Dodge Hellcat’s factory tires look aggressive enough to pass for an aftermarket upgrade, but every size on every trim rolled off the assembly line exactly as Dodge specified it. From the original 2015 car’s 275/40ZR20s to the Super Stock’s massive 315-width rear tires, the rubber underneath a Hellcat does as much work as the supercharged Hemi on top of it. Read on to find out exactly how much of a Hellcat’s quarter-mile time comes down to what’s bolted to the wheels.
