Buy yourself a rusted Hellcat
|
Fancy a Hellcat but none of the stock colors do it for you? Blue Pearl? Yellow Jacket? Plum Crazy Pearl? Four shades of gray? Go Mango? White Knuckle? None of those draw enough attention to your large and loud car? You want something really special? Well, how about this rusted look? There’s a lot of…

Cop this armored-up all-wheel-drive Dodge Charger Hellcat
|
I’ve always been oddly attracted to the police version of random vehicles. A perfect modern daily driver in my eyes? It would be a Caprice or full pursuit-spec Explorer. Or the Dodge Charger Hellcat modified by Armormax for police pursuit duty. According to MotorAuthority, Armormax has taken the 707-horsepower Hellcat and converted it to wear…

Observations from driving a yellow widebody Dodge Challenger Hellcat
|
Gas mileage is awful. Around the city it’s in the single digits. On the highway you’ll crack double digits if you restrain yourself. You’ll actually laugh about that. Don’t expect more than 200 miles out of a tank. You’ll get asked about gas mileage. You’ll get all kinds of comments. Some women will question…

Review: 2018 Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk – The Best Hellcat?
|
Great news! Sports cars are not dead! You can enjoy them on a summer day or a drive down a twisty mountain road. They make great rewarding track cars, too. And you will certainly look cool driving around town in your mid-engine machine. But if you’re looking for fast, like real-deal street fast, the answer…

H.O.T. Damn, Round One: ZL1 1LE vs Hellcat vs GT350R
|
Round One: American’s top-tier muscle/pony/sports-car trio Welcome to H.O.T. Damn, a new and terribly-titled segment in which your Hooniverse contributors shamelessly show their true vehicular preferences in picking which of three automotive options we would choose to Hoon, Own, and Total. Many of us are familiar with the extremely juvenile but equally amusing game of…

Back To School In A Widebody Hellcat Challenger
|
Most auto journos think they are very good drivers. In reality, few of them actually are as good as they think. I’ve found low interest in attending schools with track instruction. In their own mind, these folks are as good a driver as the instructors. For very few, perhaps they’re correct. The majority of the…

Your Hellcat-powered Jeep Grand Cherokee Trackhawk is Here
|
Because even Jeep were too excited to wait until the New York International Auto Show later this week, they (or someone else) released the details on the highly-anticipated Grand Cherokee Trackhawk a bit early. On the surface, there isn’t much to tell it apart from a “standard” Grand Cherokee SRT, but the big muscular sheet…

Dodge Challenger Hellcat: Mad Max… the car
|
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ZM0kDyaDb0[/youtube] Yes, I know Mad Max drove an old Ford. It Mr. Mad were around in the modern era, there’d be no question about what he would driving; the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat. It’s a 707-horsepower, supercharged coupe, and you can have it with either a six-speed manual gearbox or an eight-speed automatic. We’ve got…

Dodge Challenger Scat Pack: A Half-Price Hellcat
|
[youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3VU6MuwOR6o[/youtube] The name isn’t great, even if it’s rooted in history. All is forgotten upon a press of the start button, however, because the Dodge Challenger Scat Pack is a ridiculously fun machine set at half-Hellcat pricing. Under the hood is a 485-horspower 6.4-liter HEMI V8 engine that enjoys ruining any relationship it may have…
