Official 2015 Dodge Charger

Driving Shorts: Ryan drives from Washington D.C. to West Virginia to test the new 2015 Dodge Charger Hellcat at Summit Point Raceway. Just how much power is too much power? Let’s explore that idea…

On this episode of Head 2 Head, host Jonny Lieberman puts the quickest sedan in the world up against the fastest sedan in the world. Unlike a most this versus that competitions, the object of this match up is to figure out which family sedan is the bigger badass. In the red corner, making 691 electric horsepower and 687 pound-feet of torque, is the dual-electric motor, all-wheel drive Tesla Model S P85D. And in the blue corner, packing a supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 that’s good for 707 hp and 650 pound-feet of torque. As you can gather from the power figures, these two are evenly matched. But one’s a bigger badass than other. Watch and find out which!

I get the comparison, but I doubt these two are cross shopped. I have no desire to own a Tesla no matter how fast it is, but lust over the Hellcat Challenger or even more so at the thought of a Hellcat SRT Jeep GC.

That being said, if I were a rich dude, I still wouldn't buy a Tesla until they had a dealer in my town. I'm not having my electric car serviced in Atlanta, which is out of range for the Tesla.
If it were up to me I'd have the Challenger Hellcat for the open road and a Tesla for around town.
Still for either $130k Tesla or $70k Hellcat money you can have a previous gen S65 AMG with that awesome twin turbo V12. If I were to choose one car, it would come down to a test drive between the preowned Benz and a new Hellcat.

Buy a base hellcat for $65K and have $65K to spend on the Merc. I just don't get the Tesla, the cost seems so high, but I guess to be cutting edge in EV technology you have to pay the $$.
