No exotic materials, which is why it is so heavy. Also you pull from the parts bin (Viper & ZF Trans), keep it pretty simple, and you don't look to make as much of a profit off of each unit since it is not a volume seller. I think it will be just as reliable as any of the other muscle cars, Dodge seems to think so as well as they offer the full standard warranty and I believe Mopar even offers the ability to purchase the lifetime warranty.

On this episode of Head 2 Head, Jonny Lieberman travels just over the Golden Gate Bridge to beautiful Marin County in two of the most powerful cars ever to roll out of American factories. Five years ago, the idea of a Chevy Camaro ZL1 with 580 horsepower would have seemed like nothing more than the bedroom poster fantasy of a 12-year-old. However, in 2015, 580 ponies seems like something’s wrong. That’s because the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat comes strapped with 707! Crazy, we know. However, the Hellcat is heavier than the already pretty large Camaro. Bigger, too. The question then is: which of these two steroidal pony cars should you get? Watch this episode of Head2Head and find out.

^It's fixed. Check it out.
Yes, I know Mad Max drove an old Ford. It Mr. Mad were around in the modern era, there'd be no question about what he would driving; the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat.
It's a 707-horsepower, supercharged coupe, and you can have it with either a six-speed manual gearbox or an eight-speed automatic. We've got the manual, and we've got empty roads to play around on. That means it's time to get sideways, get silly, and get busy burning off the rear tires.
We apologize to no one... you don't ever have to apologize to people when you drive a Hellcat.
(It voids the warranty)

I work for a dodge dealership and actually Chrysler is having issues with the delivery/transport of the vehicles. They are delivered on regular car haulers, nothing special and actually being delivered damaged from the rail yard. So sad because Chrysler is such a pain with the payment process of vehicle. If Chrysler pays for it under warranty, it goes on car fax and most customers don't like that with any new car purchase.
However the vehicle is very heavy, when I drove it you can just feel the weight and although loud, I personally woudnt own one. I work for Chrysler..........I know the concerns that are typical with the vehicles

Despite all the advertising, it seems Dodge is unable to deliver Hellcats in a timely manner. It seems that dealers are only getting an allocation of ONE per month - either a Charger or a Challenger. But that doesn't stop them from taking deposits. "Many" dealers, says Chrysler, are taking orders and deposits on Hellcats they'll probably never have. Buyer beware.

Such a cool iconic car that actually looks like its brother from the 60's but the biggest disappointment for me is that the engine is assembled in Mexico. I don't have anything against Mexico per se however why on Earth is a engine of this magnitude of an American car not assembled in the USA by proud Americans?

Pennzoil is taking synthetic motor oil performance to a whole new level. See how we take a 707hp Dodge Hellcat Challenger to new heights in a one-of-a-kind Airlift Drift performance. And learn why our best natural gas synthetics are causing industry experts and OEMs like Dodge to make the switch.
