Latest rumor here.

When the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat was announced, the folks at Fiat-Chrysler merely said it would have more than 600 horsepower. Turns out they weren't kidding. It's going to have about 700 horsepower, a source tells Jalopnik.


Seven. Hundred. Freaking. Horsepower.
I'm excited but I'm also deeply, deeply terrified.
A source familiar with the company says the vehicle will produce over 700 horsepower, probably 702 horsepower, and that Chrysler is planning to announce the accomplishment on Monday, July 7, or 7/7. A spokesperson for Chrysler declined to comment.
This will make the supercharged 6.2-liter Hemi V8 Hellcat the most powerful American production car ever built, besting both the Shelby GT500, the Corvette Z06 and Dodge's own Viper. I guess we'll find out more next week.
God Bless America. God Bless Hellcat.

[70barcuda]

Yep I just saw 707 HP, that should shake up the Ford and Chevy guys a bit LOL.

If that were true I'd surely consider getting another Challenger. :smileup:

Holy Mother of Pearl!!! If rumors are true this would be just what the diehard MOPAR fans have been waiting for.............although they might have to wait a bit longer when the MSRP is announced..........I would love for this to be true!!!

 

[TikiMan]

Very cool. Just waiting to see the price tag now. Hope they make a core model.

Just do it John!! LOL

I think a lot of people are gonna be gritting their teeth when the pricing comes out. If they made a core that would really be tempting even for me.

You got that right Jon, its about time those guys got shucken up. :smileup:

The price will surely make my wife upset.

Hope they disclose my four questions on 7 July 2014.

Cost
Actual car weight
Gas mileage
1/4 mile time

 

[renbur]

According to Allpar the weight is up about 200lbs. Shouldn't be a problem with around 600 ponies at the wheels.

Gas mileage?????? Really????? That would be my last question. As a matter of fact, it wouldn't even be a question for me.

My next questions would be.

Torque numbers

1/4 mile time

Cost

How can I mod it

How are they ever gonna get that to hook up? It's like the 60's again, HP way ahead of tires. I love it!

That's nothing to brag about Joe. You posted 708 HP. The car has in fact 707 HP. You were clearly wrong. :shakehead:

It was a Mustang brand dyno......:shakehead:

Oh and gas mileage will be stated in GPM not MPG. If you were a dead dinosaur would you want your remains to sound like a prius or the Hellcat!?

Wow, this sure woke up the forum!!! Fun, fun & more fun!
