Guess you didn't need to comment then. This is a thread about the Hellcat isn't it.

I would love a Hellcat Charger, owning the MKS has really changed my taste from coupes to powerful sedans. I believe my next vehicle is going to be either a Audi S6 or A7, though I'm also fond of the GTR as I can technically drive it in the winter.

I would think that a used, fully built car will be the most unreliable car you've ever owned.  Have 10K on hand to build the motor again, when it blows up.

Not sure how many have been totaled, but this is the first one that I am aware of.  Might be a record, of sorts.  Thankfully nobody was seriously injured.

Very interesting find. I bet I know exactly what dealership that car was bought from.  And I know the road it happened on.  Basically the bit of driving road in that County.  Unfortunately it's got to many houses drive ways blind hills and corner to be useful.  I have know people that have died on that road.  One in a fox body mustang

...Similar to salesmen wrecking a new Viper in the last town where I lived... totaled it 30 min after it rolled off the transport!

When you take of in a stupidly overpowered car caution at first would seem the way to go.  Can't fix stupid!

Seems like these high-powered cars should come with some training for the buyers before they are allowed to take delivery.  Or maybe a staged step-up to full power over a period of days, a probationary period if you will.

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!

These cars deserve the same respect as a high powered firearm and IMHO probably too much for most drivers on the road especially due to the lack of AWD.

Absolutely agreed. Wholeheartedly.

Here's a prime example of these most recent discussions......

Enjoy the read.

Of course it's like firearm training... knowing all about the weapon (or car) is no more important than knowing when and how to use it's potential.

5000+ pounds and 700+ HP sounds very dangerous. The one I spotted the other day almost hit 2 cars in the 30 seconds we saw it. It almost rear ended a stopped car only avoiding it by cutting off another to switch lanes and slid to a stop nearly rear ending another stopped car. This was at the crest of an overly busy overpass.
