viper1355 Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 The hellcat will have a stick, and yea, it's the tranny out of the Viper. But its no longer called a T56... I'd have to look it up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IntercooledFlatty Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 i was on crack when i posted i drove a 6 speed recently, i meant a R/T not a Hellcat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack86 Posted July 18, 2014 Report Share Posted July 18, 2014 (edited) I'd still pick the Camaro zl1 or z/28 or it. Probably even the SS. Or the Lotus Evora. Compact, midengine v6, Good power and mpg, handling, smooth ride. and if memory serves me correctly, it even has back seats. Well lets face it I'd almost take any sports car over the hellcat or new mopar, not much of a fan of the mopars unless its around 50 years old.

I actually think the ZL1 is the better car of the two... Provided they don't issue a recall for failing brake systems in the next week, lol. Joking aside, the hellcat is a pig, and I don't expect it to handle without modifications. But the raw horsepower numbers there are fantastic for a factory car, and it's got a presence the other modern muscle cars don't have. I wouldn't buy it to be the fastest car out there, but I'd buy it to drive on the weekends and pick up chicks in ; ]. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IntercooledFlatty Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT w/ Hellcat EngineBase price: $60,990Powertrain: 6.2-liter supercharged V8, 8-speed automatic or 6-speed manual transmission, rear-wheel drive – 707 horsepower, 650 lb-ft. torque nuff said, but think of what you could build for that amount of cash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fuze Posted July 29, 2014 Report Share Posted July 29, 2014 MEH, Challengers are bloated, huge, heavy cars designed for the older nostalgic guys to drive on cruise night or to the Costco. Not in the same league as the more athletic American throwbacks like the Stang and Camaro. I suppose they figured they'd give it 700HP to make it more competitive, maybe in a burnout contest?

My Starion will outhandle my Vette in a lot of situations even though it has less grip. I do like the way the Challengers look especially dropped and modded correctly, but they BIG.

Tim_C. Posted August 5, 2014 Report Share Posted August 5, 2014 I was at the Mile Hi Nationals a couple of weeks ago. Saw Richard Rawlins race the Hellcat against his buddy Dennis in a '70'ish hemi challenger. The hellcat was many car lengths ahead at the end. Are they AWD? It sure launched like one! LoL! It was far gone ahead from the git-go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
