What a whiner...707hp Dodge Challenger

[Damn True]

FWIW the base Challenger (w/o the Turbo and intercooler systems) is 4,082lbs.

LOL....its going to take a bunch to win me back. Its a deep seeded burn on what developed during 09-10. I refused to sell out.

Real forced cold air through driver side halo light. Pretty sweet car. I am thinking it's more than the "announced 707 HP and 650 TQ at the crank.

Tim, the CEO of SRT, is saying it's the fastest muscle car to date.
And also the only muscle car to have that much HP. He is correct on the latter and I am sure that they have tested against other cars, like the GT500 in the quarter mile.

Tones,

For a guy that bleeds Ford 'green', you sure know alot about that porky Challenger.

I wondered that too so I did a little looking. Couldn't find any announcements on it yet.

Dodge products always stuck great motors in cars that couldn't turn left or right... so for me -- it's like who cares. On a twisty road - the base Corvette would probably run away from it.

I had an SRT 8 -- hated it. The 425HP sounded good at the time - it was such a ho hum vehicle that it just sat in the driveway.

What bugged me almost as much as the lame ass motor - was their plastic everything. The "hand" of the controls was so yesterday... especially if you got out of it and then took a ride in my sons Audi S4.... similar costs and the Audi was just so much more car.

The SRT ranked right there with my BMW M5 -- both ranked as two of the most disliked cars I've ever owned --- and I've owned a lot of cars.

@automobilemag: How fast is the 707-hp #Dodge Challenger #Hellcat? Try 11.2 sec at 125 mph -- on street tires! http://t.co/fS23QreIIa http://t.co/c0WdVKnKmS

"We already knew the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat packed a 707-hp punch from its supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine, but now we know just how quickly the muscle car will hustle down a quarter-mile track. According to Dodge's own testing, the Hellcat runs the quarter mile in 11.2 seconds at 125 mph.

When fitted with drag radials instead of its standard Pirelli P Zero street tires, the Hellcat managed a 10.8-second run at 126 mph.
"It wasn't long ago that a 10-second car, was a full-on race car," Dodge and SRT president Tim Kuniskis said in a statement. "Not only can Challenger run 10s on the drag strip, but you can also fit your family and drive cross country."
