Clean title. Seems almost every one I see for sale has a salvage title. Why do so many moron's buy these cars and total them? They have traction control. I can almost dump the clutch in my Challenger and it will barely spin the tires with traction control on. However, wheel hops like a [censored] when turned off.

Going to look at a 2016 six speed Hellcat with 33,000. Are there any known issues/recalls or things to look for on these? On average when should I plan on a new clutch? Clues to being beat on? Thanks in advance. Private owner, new car dealer or used car dealer?

Listen for unusual supercharger bearing noise which was an issue on 2015 and 2016 models. They updated the bearings in later years. My 2016 needed a new Supercharger under warranty.

With factory type street tires and with all the engine management protections, it is hard to hurt the drive train. Not impossible, but......
The performance pages hold a lot of info, Highest top speed for one. And I would most certainly take the VIN to a dealer and see about warranty and service records. That won't tell you everything you need to know, but any and all info when contemplating a purchase like this a good thing.

However, wheel hops like a [censored] when turned off. it's the "High performance car, Low performance driver" syndrome............ Yep, the driver runs out of talent and . It's amazing just how many Hellcat owners were once rustang owners.
