dodge charger srt hellcat good for 204 mph now with gallery

Here’s our first look at the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat, until our live pictures are uploaded later on.

UPDATE: Gallery is now up.

Wth a 204 mph top speed, the Charger is faster than its Challenger twin, though it won’t get the 6-speed manual gearbox. Instead, the 8-speed automatic Charger will reportedly complete the quarter-mile sprint in 11 seconds flat, .2 seconds faster than the Challenger.

  Not sure where you live but were at $3.40 a gallon for premium here $3.15 regular, and it would have to triple before I considered changing out of a 11mpg DD. I'm sure this car will be fine doing 20mpg average. Not everyone wants to drive tiny sh*tboxes.

  My opinion is that people love to complain about the price of gas, but once they adjust to the "new normal" price, it becomes a non-issue again. People simply get used to the price as a part of their budget. Also, there are a lot of people with enough disposable income that getting less MPG just doesn't really matter. If that weren't the case, everyone would be buying stripper compacts for sub-$20k. Of course, this all doesn't apply to everyone, but not everyone is buying this car.

  Everyone shouldn't suffer because you can't afford something.

  LOL, my CRV gets as low as 17mpg towing a caravan, but usually hovers around 25 mixed. And with gas prices here in Norway varying being between 8-10 dollars pr gallon, I have no problem with that at all(the hilariously small gas tank annoys me more, Teslas have more range than I do) If I had a car that was also fun to drive, I would gladly pay a few dollars more pr week to drive it. (but,around here even the V6 would be considered a powerful beast, and would rob you of your license after a few weeks...)

Ajla My only experience with this final version of the Malibu was a lady in her 70s literally crying to me about having one as a loaner while her Equinox got its engine replaced under warranty. The problem was that she could not comfortably get in and out of it.
CoastieLenn Back around 2009-2010, a friend of mine had a manual xB and we installed a Blitz supercharger kit. Was a really fun little unit after that.
Ajla What is Chevrolet going to run in NASCAR? I get that there is basically no connection to street cars any longer but I still don't see them putting Blazer or Corvette stickers on their stuff.
CKNSLS Sierra SLT Since they are the darling of the rental fleets I have probably spent about 5,000 miles in two different Malibus. I was ready to be discouraged. But for what they are-they are a competent riding vehicle and they get close to 40mpg cursing at a reasonable speed. A little too much plastic in the interior-making it look "cheap". But if I was looking for a competent sedan I would consider an off rental one at a decent price. A new one would suffer massive depreciation-probably.
Arthur Dailey Kinda wish that I had bought one back in 2011. Yes I know that some here prefer the first generation to the second. But the first was not available new in Canada.I didn't appreciate the centre mounted instrument panel.However one of my children had one as a week long rental and much preferred it to the Prius that she had previously.
