it would be so cool if we had a smaller chassis to fit it in. No matter how you slice it, we're still the fat kid on the block.

I bet it will be a legit 10.9 car from the factory. The ad says "1/2 second is your reputation" Who knows. I still can't afford one. lol

Show me car built before 73 that will run mid12 and get 23 mph with ice cold air and cruise control and I'll. Buy one tomorrow my SRT charger I could get 23 mpg drive it off highway and into the staging lanes and run mid 12s all day long and cruise at 80 mph . The new cars are heavy for sure but you can not knock the performance there getting out of them when was the last time Chrysler sold anything making 485-707 in hp from the factory never

A 10 second car can be built w/WAY less money and more dependable. I could build an 8-second n/a driver for the money that crap cost. I'm not going to debate this bs but I CAN'T STAND NEW CARS...........I work on em and they are overpriced throw aways and get back w/me on how these new plastic cars survive 30-40 years............ drive

Dom if you can build a 10 second car that will pass emissions, get good mileage and last for 200,000 miles for less money you need to quit building carbs and start building cars. You'll be a wealthy man. biggrin

All I know is these cars are impressive and I would love to have one. Problem is the dealers will be raking people over the coals to get them. Probably big $ over sticker. No way I would ever pay that.

So true, n/a probably not but my "opinion" still stands...........I don't drive my Dart cos it's comfy or gets good mileage, I drive/race it because it outperforms MOST people's expectations and hauls ass for what it is............... beer

Some of you guys would find something to [censored] about if they were giving stuff away free. You same people have obviously never driven a Hellcat. My shop works on a does upgrades to late model Chrysler products, so let me give you an example. Have a customer we built a 426 Gen3 with a Magnuson supercharger in a 2012 SRT Challenger. Made just shy of 800 on pump gas. Yes it makes more power than the Hellcat. It is almost undriveable and I promise you, you will wreck this car unless your 100% focused at all times and very conscious of the throttle. Yes it's fast at the track, but pretty worthless at everything else. The Hellcat, by comparison, can be driven by your grandmother. It drives just like a 3.6 car until you don't want it to. That's all that "new fangled computer stuff" you all hate. That is the only thing that even makes it possible to sell cars like these. Can't even count how many GEN 2 Vipers came back wrecked just days or hours after being sold. That was with less power than a SRT, but no "computer assisted driver aids". So yes you can build something with more power cheaper, but I promise you it will suck to drive and be almost unusable in everyday driving situations. Be thankful that these kind of cars are being made available, and would lay waste to anything pre-73! Hell, my Hemi and diesel trucks are faster than most pre-'73 stuff, way more comfortable, and require damn near zero maintenance. If these new vehicle are just transportation, I'll take it. I'll leave the no overdrive, drum brake cars at the parking lot with a lawn chair sitting in front of them...
