Thread: Anyone here own a hellcat?

???

Its my daily carry.....oh wait, wrong hellcat.

Those are beasts in a straight line but too heavy of a car for me, I prefer my performance cars to be under two tons.

i have the SRT392 and i'd get the cat or the redeye in a heartbeat. their weight and size is no secret at this point, you know what you're getting.

I'm almost done getting the 565 BBC put together.


Don't get me wrong though, I absolutely loved my hellcat and would buy another one in a heartbeat. They're fantastic cars, and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Tough choice probably would have gone with the classic as well. I feel like price / performance these are very hard to beat.

Feels like a speed boat and turns like one too, worst then the trans am/ws6 I use to own

What car did you replace them with if this bored you?

Nice how fast is it?

We’re on the same page .
This was my 81 Z28 that I owned back then. The great part was it was a 4 speed standard .

Recently sold my TA . Loved it also but hate automatics

Fast enough to have you praying on every turn I make lol. It’s a grip beast, has wide body tuned from sti suspension, like the hellcat wide body but on an absolute different level

My opinion....

If I were to buy one it would likely be a Trackhawk with the Hellcat Charger runner up and I don't really even like "Dodge". But, if I am going to be in something that weighs the same as the fkn SS Minnow its going to have 4 doors.

If you are in the market for a sports car and don't need the extra room I suggest looking into the ZL1 or GT5hunny if you have the extra cash. Or if you have the means ($$$) , know how , or are willing to learn... IMHO these days its hard to beat a 2018+ Mustang GT with a 10r80 trans. Can be had at a fraction of the price of any car I have previously mentioned and is literally a Whipple , VMP , or Freedom Whistler away from fking all of those cars up from a performance stand point.

Or if you have a set of steel balls or enjoy taunting the grim reaper you can take the route I chose..

13 GT , 2.9L Whipple , made 975rwhp detuned to 850ish... 6 speed manual


I put a TH400 in it late last year but to be honest it kind of killed the thrill of the car. Its no doubt faster but the "oh $hit" factor has been lost and it very well may end up going back to a 6 speed

I know exactly what you mean. But a TH400 rmvb in my turbo WS6 and boy did it really kinda kill the thrill. Did it because I was going the drag car route obviously, but I didnt factor in missing driving it on the street as much as I did.

Poor car is sitting in storage 2000 miles away fuarkk
