This 2023 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody Redeye Jailbreak makes 807 horsepower from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8, and it arrived just before Dodge pulled the plug on the gas-powered Charger for good. The Straight Pipes put it up against the Demon 170, the Challenger Jailbreak, and even a Mustang Dark Horse to see if it still holds up. Here’s why this particular Hellcat might be the one worth chasing before they’re all gone.
Dodge’s Hellcat-powered Challengers and Chargers wear some of the widest tires ever fitted to a factory muscle car, and the sizing changed as the lineup grew more powerful. From the original 245-width rubber to the SRT Super Stock’s massive 315/40ZR20s, every size was factory-spec, not an aftermarket mod. That rubber is also why the Super Stock can hit 60 mph in about 3.25 seconds and the Redeye tops out near 203 mph — numbers that owe as much to traction as they do to the supercharged Hemi underneath.
