2015 SRT challenger hellcat engine

[Domesticated]

Domesticated but you haven't even driven the newer one the hellcat version. The ones you drove two years ago are a thing of the past you need a 2015 hellcat with paddshifters not the old ones.

I drove the very first Hellcat prototype 2 years ago. That's how long the powertrain has been in development. I'm a dynamics engineer at the Chrysler Proving Grounds in Chelsea MI. I'm around Hellcats all day lol.

Prototypes don't camp are to this model. This model is the real deal the previous models are test subjects.

I'm confused at what you're getting at. I was part off the early development of the car when I was in SRT. I was in one a few weeks ago. And technically they are all prototypes. As none of them are customer cars. They are production representative prototypes.

If someone dailied this car, they are balling. It's overkill for a car to just go back and forward to work or the store. You won't be able to use it to it's potential in Atlanta traffic. It may get 25-30 mpg on the freeway...stop and go you can forget about it. I think it's more of a weekend, track, collectors car.

I'd rather have the new NSX.

I was wondering. That's definitely cool man. Sounds like a really neat job!

The worst part about the job is all the facilities I have available at work I can't use on my personal car. We have a massive garage, lifts, corner scales perfect alignment rack, Hunter road force machines, a road course/handling road, drag strips, and a massive square of perfectly flat and smooth asphalt for dynamics evaluations. If you spin at 80 there's nothing to hit. I use corner scales nearly everyday at work and I'm currently struggling to find a set for my own car.

just slap on some dodge emblems on your accord and drive it on in! it's another "prototype"

The production models were never mentioned in the prototypes they never came with all of the luxuries it has on there . they only mentioned more about the hellcat build with just the motor not the supercharger since I've been following SRT for a minute. As far as nsx they are nice looking cars but its slow.

[sonikaccord]

The new NSX won't be slow...at least it better not be.

This car will put pressure on the other two car makers...an OEM twin turbo v8?

V8 hybrid with 8-900 ft-lbs of torque?

Let the battle begin

But your not your not getting that anytime soon. I'm trying to obtain something more practice. More bang for the buck

As far as nsx they are nice looking cars but its slow.

6.8L supercharged Hellcat w/707 Hp = 1/4 mile 10.8s
3.2L Naturally Aspirated NSX w/290Hp = 0-60 mph 4.4s 1/4 mile 12.7s

OK it's slower....... by 2 seconds. That's with half the displacement and 41% less Hp.... Dollar per dollar, I'd still take the NSX.

[H311RA151N]

Whats funny is my bike pulls 10.75 @ 126 and I only paid $2500 for it.. And only 100hp to the rear tire and Its a Honda and gets 40mpg.

Sorry, I had to be the douche that threw motorcycles in the mix!

'84 V65 Magna 1100 btw.

[sonikaccord]

There's always that one guy ^^^ he wins
Still is 60k practical for 707 hp? Stock or not that's quite a bit of change.

[H311RA151N]

^^^

[h22sparkle]

Its a bike compared up against a car. Oh and BTW the nsx would probably cost 60 k and still run slow as shit. That's still a loss bro two seconds less with 290 HP running 13s if that paid just as much as that same hellcat and still took that L left and right. That's even more insulting run me off the specs of that nsx on the price since you never put that in there bruh comon now.
