Good.

Bad

Collector's Item?

[Greasy]

I knew it was coming, but hoped they could keep it around a while longer. The sound that comes out of those things is majestic to me.

The hellkitten. lmao!

Truly, it's a beast, sad to see it go.

It will live on in the TRX at least.

If they source the batteries from Panasonic, they can collab and call it:

the Hello Kitty!

[Clockwork]

With government and elite societal pressure building, you’re required to sacrifice modern American muscle on the altar of the Green Movement which has labeled carbon, an element found in all life as we know it, as the enemy of earth and its supposedly fragile climate we know has changed without human intervention for millions of years.

I love the Hellcat, but the author is a ****ing moron.

[logical]

but the author is a ****ing moron.

Agreed What editor let this bullshit through

the hellkitten

I've raced a bunch, and started calling them that several years ago.

Also, this is sad news.

A beast that handles like a truck

True but in a straight line though.....

pfft Tesla Model S Plaid has that covered.....

But then again the Hellcat could probably actually stop too.....

It's a super niche product in a field of already niche competition. It's not really affordable, it's not really practical, it's just raw excess with no real market.

That's the whole appeal of it!

[Greasy]

Hell yeah it is. Everyone else, "You need a turbo 4 cyl or 6cyl. Dodge, "You really want a big ass v8 with a super charger"! Fast is cool, but the sound those things make is a huge part of the experience IMO. I'm going to miss it once we're zipping around in EVs that are silent.

[Greasy]

I think he hates fun...

[Elysian]

That's the whole appeal of it!

Viper was better. Hellcat is garbage.

[Nunz]

Eh I think garbage is a stretch, but the car is simply too heavy. If they pulled some weight back all that power would make it a much more entertaining vehicle imo

[acroig]

Viper was better. Hellcat is garbage.

Harsh.....

[Silent-Runner]

i wouldn't call it garbage, it was a bit too much of everything.

Also didn't a rager had one? Can't remember, was it Clockwork?

[acroig]

I had one but not a Hellcat.

[Silent-Runner]

I had one but not a Hellcat.

ah, ok. A neighbor had one too, he sold it a while back and now drives a 2018 mustang shelby gt500.

[acroig]

I sold mine in the summer and I miss it.

I think Exposed had a Hellcat. Iirc he posted some videos at the track with it.

yep, you're right

WARNING the below is a street racing video. DO NOT CLICK if you are offended by late night street racing.



Me vs a C6 Vette with unknown mods.

Then me vs a Charger Scat Pack modded to the gills. Tune/Cam/Headers/150 shot. Claims to make 650 to the wheels.

I see it more as an evolution.

The Charger is not going away, it will remain in 2024 as an electric version on the new platform. It's also going to be faster than the current Tesla Model S Plaid, or so Dodge claims.

We'll even see a purpose built concept car in the next Fast and Fabulous movie.

However the Challenger V8 isn't going away anytime soon. Dodge still plans to keep an ICE Challenger around even when their electric muscle vehicles debut.

What I didn't expect is for them to drop the Hellcat name. I thought they would keep it for the electric vehicles. It's just a name though.

I havent seen F9 yet...was the 2000hp electric charger in it?

[Exposed]

I haven't seen it either. Don't even know if that movie is out (have no interest in seeing it). But it's not likely to be something remotely similar to what will be released in 2024, probably just some kind of riced up concept made just for this movie.

[Trunks0]

Could always do an electric OP verion and call it something like "ThunderCat"

the movie has been out for a few months already lol (june 25)

Not even sure if the article was real or not (it was dated april 1) so i wasnt sure if the whole 2000hp electric charger was a joke or not in that article.

Yeah, he had a Hellcat Charger I think. Then sold it and got a new Mustang GT he was making fast.

Calling the Hellcat garbage is a bit silly. It's awesome that Dodge created the Hellcat lineup. Who cares if it couldn't turn well. That wasn't the point of the car. It made no excuses for what it was. My brother hates them too, always saying the argument he makes is that it's fine in a straight line until the first turn comes up. Well, it's a drag car. It's for people who like muscle cars and want to drag race.

It's a drag car for people who want to cosplay as drag racers.

I love the Hellcat, but it’s part of a niche market that I’m not paying to get into lol.
