So those 10.9 1/4 times everyone doubted might be true.  The SRT Hellcat is the most powerful US production car ever produced.   It's in the video.

707hp
650tq
SRT 707















Update: pricing has been leaked at $59,990 by a well known and respected Chrysler employee.  He has a 700+ page thread on a popular challenger forum and has never been wrong in regard to pricing, releases, options, etc.

Comes fully loaded.  Options are the 8 speed, wheel color, 3 season tires, paint, stereo upgrade and moonroof. Maybe a few other little things.

I'll still wait for the official release but this number is as good as gold.

Update 7-11

Straight from Chrysler

Runs 10.85@126

I'll fix the video when I get on a puter

Do want!  

It might even be fast if making cars 4200lbs these days wasn't the new trend. It takes 707hp to get that boat up to highway speeds.

I am not a Chrysler guy but...

Interesting , my insurance agent would love me

Rather have the new Z06 lighter, more aero dynamic, looks better, and more refined machine over all. Not to mention it will handle 10x better with magnetic ride which my Caddy already does!

MOTHER OF GOD

Can it handle?

dodge
it will be real good for doing burnouts and crashing when you try to go around a corner

Holy shit.

 

I'd take one

Nope.

Nope, 10.90's isn't fast, and it certainly isn't extremely fast.

It will probably have all of the handling capabilities of a 1978 Lincoln Continental.

Here is the press release

press release from Chrysler:

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., July 1, 2014

AUBURN HILLS, Mich., July 1, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The all-new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT, with its supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI Hellcat engine, produces an unprecedented 707 horsepower and 650 lb.-ft. of torque, making it the most powerful Challenger ever, Dodge's most powerful V-8 ever and the most powerful muscle car ever.

The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with Hellcat HEMI V-8 engine is rated at 707 hp.
The Challenger's new 6.2-liter Supercharged Hellcat engine is also the first factory supercharged HEMI, as well as Dodge and SRT's first application of V-8 supercharger technology. For the first time in Chrysler Group history, the all-new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with a Hellcat engine comes standard with two key fobs -- red and black. The red key fob is the only key that can unlock the full 707 horsepower and torque potential of the Challenger SRT Hellcat engine; while the black key fob limits the driver to a reduced engine output of 500 horsepower.

fuck no!
landbarge with an ancient front end and the rear suspension from pick up truck.
it will cook rear tires and that's about it

The interesting part though is the 10.9 is the manual time. The autos consistently run .5 quicker in the quarter so the 8 speed car might run low 10's from the factory.

Entirely this, while towing a school bus.

Do Want....



Probably a ridiculous Price Tag in which a new Z06 would make more sense.

The Aventador does the Quarter in like 10.4-10.6sec....depending on the day. For a factory $70k give/take car, 10.9 is extremely fast.



Not sure what you're smoking.
 

Ok, how about you list all the stock american cars that are faster?

...I need to change my pants now.

What are you smoking?  List of fastest production cars:  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_fastest_production_cars_by_acceleration

Exactly. It will have the best quarter mile time of any is production car ever produced.

I'll say that's getting better. But you can do more with $2500 in a foxbody 5.0.. I'll say, it seems surprising that the manual is that much worse than the A8 version.

I'd rather have a modded Gt500. I imagine it will be cheaper.



And when the IFS version comes out, it will rape this even more.



rape town rape

You said rape three times.

dodge

Cute trick, but that's not going to work. Who said anything about American cars? Or stock? Or cars?

Fuck. Yes.  
Us Mopar guys have been suffering an underpowered car for long enough.  This just made my day.

"Automotive News" is reporting 650ft/lb

It's in the top ten

Except you can drive this to work each day and it won't disintegrate.

You're right.  A catapult launched F-18 has a WAY faster quarter mile.  My stupid trick failed.  I fail.  

You're entitled to the opinion. But I suppose "fast," is relative. When you don't own anything legitimately fast I guess things like this are fast.

So you are saying you can take a 14 second foxbody and throw $2500 at it an run a low 10?

The auto shifts faster and has much better bearing that the manual.

We are talking about a chrysler here......



 

Want.

You know if you guys made your good cars in RHD you'd sell a ton of them over here.

We ARE talking about a factory production vehicle.

 

Bwahaha, true story. But, then again, I don't make my play projects my daily drivers anymore. When the toy breaks, you drive the daily until it's fixed.

How long before the first pics of one strewn across the highway by some douche who cant drive?

EDT: good looking car BTW...

Wonder what it will retail for

No 90 MM main gun?????

This is no Hellcat!!!!!

Yes, 5.3 and boost.. It's been done heaps. There are two at our local races who are in the 8.90's and 9.30's with less than $5k invested in car and mods. The stock block 5.3's will hold a heap of power.

Probably slightly better than a class B motorhome.

No, you're talking about a factory production vehicle. I just said 10.90's isn't anything to write home about. Hell, my factory production vehicle can run 8.96's and commonly goes 9.50's with traps of over 150.. and it ain't much to write home about either.

Thank god. If I have to read another thread about the goofy looking Camaro or gender-confused Mustang, I'm going to vomit.
