That's a very attractive package. I've been shopping around for something faster. Still think I would rather have an M5 over this though. 0-60 in 3.6 1/4 in 11.7
13' SHO, Non-PP, Tuned by Torrie, Meth injection, 3 bar, 170* stat, custom axle back exhaust, Prosport Boost gauge.
15' F150 Lariat Sport, all the options, 3.5L Eco. (fiancée ride.)
13' GTCS, will be missed.

The Hellcat could be low 11's in good air stock.  Swap pulley, tune, exhaust, mid 10's.

Same goes for the M5. Tune, intake, down pipes, makes quite a power bump.

People seem to forget that someday cars will have to go around corners. I'd like to do so with precision. That's where I prefer an M5.

None the less. The charger will be a fun car.

Cost to mod the M5 would be through the roof, but if your purchasing an M5--Money isn't an issue

The real question is will it hold together. I wouldn't mod that thing at all. They would be just looking to void the warranty. That said 200 mph and 11 flat why would you need to.

It's not that expensive to mod. Besides I think any car above 65k can assume the buyer is fairly well off in the financial department and shouldn't be penny pinching on mods.

You guys, all so starry eyed :D  What we need is a slightly bigger front end for the SHO, some engine upgrades, and some trans upgrades.  We'd match/outrun the Hellcat all day long.  With the 3.5 TT, not even a 5.0TT.  And probably avg easily over 20 mpg city/hwy doing it.  So there!

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

707 HP makes me Starry Eyed!

Seriously though, no matter what I think of Dodge/MOPAR as junk.  Most vehicles that I have been in have had terrible fit and finish, and whenever i see a vehicle dumping Blue Smoke from the exhaust about 75%+ % of the time they are Dodge/Chrysler products.

Most of them are 4 Cyl, or V-6 products, and I think the Hemi is better than that.  I really dont know if I would own one.

Maybe they have gotten a lot better in the last few years too.

They seem to have made an effort to retain the Hemi reputation, probably have a separate set of folks handling design & development there.

SVT Taurus!!! In Alaska I need AWD. An APR ECU flash on an Audi S6 can get you 550-570 HP depending on the fuel.

It is a monster...it really is.
But, at 65K, it is approaching double what many of us paid for gently pre-owned or even new SHOs. Furthermore, I'd officially have to become a divorced man. The Hellcat simply is an impossibility for me, as a married man. Lol

For $65k, you'll find me in a new Corvette.

Still a cool car.  Ford needs a 550hp+ sedan....

I'm afraid once the financial hurdle is cleared domestically by shopping pre-owned, the next would naturally be, "Why the HELL do you need 700hp," and quote frankly, I don't believe I'd be able to provide a justifiable rationale!
