2015 Dodge Hellcat... POWER!!!!!!

300 horsepower? Nope, not even close. 400 horsepower? Better, but still way off. 600 horsepower!!!???!! Hell, no! This is an AMERICAN muscle car, we need more power! Okay, what about 707 horsepower!? That's more like it. And that is what you'll find under the hood of the new 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat.  Oh, yes. Dodge supercharged their 6.2 liter Hemi to kick out a few more ponies.

So, 707 horses sounds like it's a lot of power, and you're correct. That's enough power to kick start a dying sun back into life. 0-60 will happen faster then you can say, "Too fast! Don't hit that tree!". Even though the Challenger is about the size of a small aircraft carrier, this baby will move like a stabbed rat. At least in a straight line (1/4 mile in the 10 second area). Of course Dodge will stuff sports suspension under the fenders and big brakes inside the wheels. It'll help too, but this is a muscle car. 3,800lbs worth of muscle car. If you want a sports car that will carve corners like your father carving a turkey, buy a BMW M3. If you want a car that looks like and sounds like the devil himself, get the Hellcat.

Pricing is around $60,000 for a base Hellcat. A M3 starts close to the same. However, the M3 has the power of a sewing machine when compared to the Hellcat.

Oh, get the manual. Don't even kid yourself, manuals are just more fun.
