If you want to hear some real bitching, go over to Hellcat.org. Some of those guys are fit to be tied. I guess I would be too if I was set to lose 20 large or more. And become a second class citizen behind these new models.
Of course much of that depends on how much these new models will go for and how many will be available.
Watching this play out is the next best thing to actually owning one. It could have been way worse for current Hellcat owners,the new top dog could have come from the competition. Atleast the new top dog is still a Challenger!

Pretty cool. Any idea what's required to make that next jump in performance from showroom stock? Also hoping all those cars are actually legal for those ETs, but I have no way of telling from that video.

If you don't like those 9 second Hellcats......you better check your pulse. Pretty damn neat.

All the "old school" guys get butthurt so easy and want to call out showroom cars to run against their RACE cars........LOL!!!!! How about put your race car back in showroom trim and see how it stacks up.
Why can't both sides just be happy that Mopar has SOMETHING from the factory that you can call a muscle car. Doesn't anybody remember the late 70s, then the 80s and 90s, when Mopar guys were crying the factory didn't make anything to compete with Camaros and Mustangs. Now we HAVE something and you guys are STILL whining.........as one here says....."cheese and rice". Get a grip. You don't want a new car, don't buy one, it's pretty simple.
My daily driver is a Mercedes with a measly 400 hp. But it will run 165 flat out, runs pretty damn quick at the track and will take most freeway exits at 100mph, looks good, is comfortable, fun to drive and don't have to work on it. Want to see how much is involved with keeping a FAST older car road worthy, while beating on it hard? All it requires is one trip on Drag Week AMEN BROTHER!

Who in their right mind ever thought performance cars like this would ever hit the road again. To think that if fuel economy wasn't such a national ajenda engineers may have never headed in this direction. If I wasn't into racing like I am and loaded with both old style small and big block stuff I would own one. And who knows what tomorrow may bring. I for one can't wait to see the new Demons

I love the idea of the Demon coming back.
However this is just a desecration of the name Demon, it has never had anything to do with the the Challenger, why on god's green earth FCA thought this was a good idea is beyond me Same can be said about the Daytona trucks. Or 4 door chargers for that matter. Or even a 4 door daytona/super bee charger But most don't a problem with that lol You're exactly correct. I have a problem with every one of those too.

Look I'm not saying I wouldn't own a new muscle car. We owned a Road and Track R/T and loved it, a Hellcat is on the wish list but so is retiring in ten years and putting two kids through college. So a Hellcat is down the list quite a ways now. My 72 Demon will have to suffice for my speed itch.

Even if we can't afford one it's nice to have something to root for.

I am seriously thinking about one of these new supercharged monsters. But if I get one, I will likely have it for 10 or 15 years and only drive it 2,000 or 3,000 miles a year, based on my last few years with my current Cuda.
And I am concerned about the electronics holding up and the dealership's ability to deal with issues in the out years. 10 years from now, will everything electrical on these things still be working? And if they aren't, can we expect to get them diagnosed and parts supplied in a reasonable manner?
These things are totally computer dependent. And Fiat/Chrysler is notoriously tight with their info. Which could leave a guy in a real predicament. That is the only real thing holding me back from selling my Cuda and moving in on one of these monsters.
Master, again and still
