Some other journos got to drive the Hellcat on the street. Automobile magazine was one of them. TTAC gets the cold shoulder from a lot of OEMs, and not without reason.
I will be shocked if the Hellcat is faster than the ZL1 at the track -- I just don't think big power can beat better handling.
At the strip, it'll be Hellcat all the way of course.
Really depends on the venue, though, doesn't it? Big power won't help on technical courses, but surely can offset of a lot of bad qualities if there are simpler areas in which to make up time.
Well, considering I'd run out of talent on a track long before just about any reasonably competent car would, it's largely irrelevant. It's heavy because it's full of so much win.
Yes, Dodge is Hellcatting the Charger.
Babyseats optional.The Hellcat-ization of the Charger is spelled out in the engine’s SAE J1349 certification filing. J1349 is a voluntary third-party-witnessed test that manufacturers can take part in, and it’s the only way to get an engine’s horsepower and torque numbers certified by the organization. Since Chrysler chose to list the Charger on the document, it means they’re interested in certifying the power output of that engine for that car.
The bottom line? Expect a 707-hp four-door with a Dodge badge. That will make it the most powerful sedan on sale, you know, ever. (Current not-very-close second? The 30-copy BMW M5 30 Jahre edition, which makes 600 hp.)

I'd like to see a Chrysler 300 "letter series" with it, personally.
