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...)

SCE to AUX With these items under the pros:[list][*]It's quick, though it seems to take the powertrain a second to get sorted when you go from cruising to tromping on it.[/*][*]The powertrain transitions are mostly smooth, though occasionally harsh.[/*][/list]I'd much rather go electric or pure ICE I hate herky-jerky hybrid drivetrains.The list of cons is pretty damning for a new vehicle. Who is buying these things?
Jrhurren Nissan is in a sad state of affairs. Even the Z mentioned, nice though it is, will get passed over 3 times by better vehicles in the category. And that’s pretty much the story of Nissan right now. Zero of their vehicles are competitive in the segment. The only people I know who drive them are company cars that were “take it or leave it”.
Jrhurren I rented a RAV for a 12 day vacation with lots of driving. I walked away from the experience pretty unimpressed. Count me in with Team Honda. Never had a bad one yet
ToolGuy I don't deserve a vehicle like this.
SCE to AUX I see a new Murano to replace the low-volume Murano, and a new trim level for the Rogue. Yawn.
