Mallard Posted July 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Yes, because nobody likes Mopars. Which is why the 9% growth in sales Chrysler just posted is so puzzling. 51 consecutive months of year - over - year sales gains! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 Yes, because nobody likes Mopars. Which is why the 9% growth in sales Chrysler just posted is so puzzling. Jersey shore, Kardashians, & Miley Cyrus's twerk attention campaign were also overwhelmingly popular. Not hating on the car, but popular vote hardly indicates it's a great product. I'm sure they will sell every last one at a serious markup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DKilbourne Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 I'd drive it, but not for the money that it will probably cost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Got-Boost? Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 The Corvette is not a muscle car and he said fastest, not quickest. This means top speed, not acceleration or lap time. I think he was referring to MOPARS, the fastest they have built to date. If it beats the 202mph reported by the GT500 I think many will be more than impressed with this car...

If it beats the 202mph reported by the GT500 I think many will be more than impressed with this car... The claims in the video (most powerful and fastest muscle car in history) was not compared to just other Mopar's. They said there were some 'easter eggs' in the original release, including the interior pic showing the radio on '70's On 7' hinting at 707 HP. If you click the link to launch the Hellcat website it also says "Site will load in 3.0 seconds." Not sure if that means anything............

Got-Boost? Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Ok, I saw another video with Ralph Giles where he talked about the fastest MOPAR they have ever built, didn't watch the other one you are talking about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not hating on the car, but popular vote hardly indicates it's a great product. Perhaps not, but it does indicate popularity itself. I would imagine most automobile manufacturers strive for popularity. I'm sure they will sell every last one at a serious markup. Insha'Allah.

AudiOn19s Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 The fact that we can talk about it here for 5 pages on CR means they've already done their job. Love it or hate it people will talk about it and know/ respect it (assuming it delivers performance wise). Not my cup-0-tea but will be a car to remember.

Mallard Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 10.8 on drag radials, 11.2 on stock tires. Equipped thusly the Hellcat did the quarter mile in 10.86 seconds at 126 mph. The number has been NHRA certified. Similarly, with its production tires, the Hellcat runs the quarter in 11.2 seconds at 125 mph, also certified. That's also fantastic. Let's put that into context. The Ford Shelby GT500 did the quarter in 11.6 seconds; the Camaro ZL1 did it in 12.1; and even Dodge's own SRT Viper, a more dedicated sports car with a much larger engine, did it in 11.7 seconds. http://jalopnik.com/the-707-hp-dodge-challenger-srt-hellcat-is-a-10-second-1603567665 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coltboostin Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 So, it a faster version of the Titanic. Got it. Impressive perfomance if that was really bone stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TTQ B4U Posted July 11, 2014 Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 Maybe I'm alone at being impressed with the 13.67 on the 40+ yr old car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted July 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2014 It was bone stock and I heard times better than 11.2, but I assume that is an average number over a bunch of runs that anyone can go out and repeat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kirks5oh Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 I'm game. Why not. I hated my gt500. Lots of butthurt over this car on svt performance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaTS1200 Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Love it. If it's priced under 70k I'll own one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oh8sti Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 I can't see it being priced that low. That would make too make sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 2015 Challenger orders are open now, Hellcat orders open up on 8/8 so I assume pricing will be available before then. Lots of dealers sound like they already have 5-10 people that already put deposits down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 P.S. Ralph Gilles drove an 8 speed car from Detroit to Carlisle and averaged 20.8 mpg. Not bad for a 700 hp s/c'd V8. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got-Boost? Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Not released yet. Forum rumors put it around $65k. That's not a terrible price if it holds true. Based on the current with every option at $53k, $65k seems good with all the upgrades. Next problem, dealer MARK UPS... :lolguy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stretch Posted July 12, 2014 Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Next problem, dealer MARK UPS... :lolguy: Exactly. Car may be under 70k but with a high demand and limited production, dealers will be asking 80+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallard Posted July 12, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 12, 2014 Exactly. Car may be under 70k but with a high demand and limited production, dealers will be asking 80+ Dealers were caught doing this when the Viper was released and some of them lost their rights to sell SRT because of this. If corporate finds out they will contact the dealer directly, and not every Dodge dealer is an SRT dealer, they have to meet certain standards. Previously, notifying corporate of markups was as easy as tweeting Ralph Gills. He's not SRT anymore, but he's still pretty active. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
