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...)

Jkross22 When I think about products that I buy that are of the highest quality or are of great value, I have no idea if they are made as a whole or in parts by unionized employees. As a customer, that's really all I care about. When I think about services I receive from unionized and non-unionized employees, it varies from C- to F levels of service. Will unionizing make the cars better or worse?
Namesakeone I think it's the age old conundrum: Every company (or industry) wants every other one to pay its workers well; well-paid workers make great customers. But nobody wants to pay their own workers well; that would eat into profits. So instead of what Henry Ford (the first) did over a century ago, we will have a lot of companies copying Nike in the 1980s: third-world employees (with a few highly-paid celebrity athlete endorsers) selling overpriced products to upper-middle-class Americans (with a few urban street youths willing to literally kill for that product), until there are no more upper-middle-class Americans left.
ToolGuy I was challenged by Tim's incisive opinion, but thankfully Jeff's multiple vanilla truisms have set me straight. Or something. 😉
ChristianWimmer The body kit modifications ruined it for me.
ToolGuy "I have my stance -- I won't prejudice the commentariat by sharing it."• Like Tim, I have my opinion and it is perfect and above reproach (as long as I keep it to myself). I would hate to share it with the world and risk having someone critique it. LOL.
