Sports cars are the great equalizer.
If you can't drive it, just rev it at red lights and go to Sonic where other men can check you and your car out and you can talk about bullshit. |

When Dodge announced the $60,000 Challenger SRT Hellcat and Charger SRT Hellcat earlier this year – with 707 horsepower motors that make them the most powerful stock muscle cars on the streets of America today – it was almost inevitable what might happen when someone would push one to … and past … its limits. On a related note... Dear everyone posting in the F150 thread: THIS is a vehicle worth 60K. |

So as a guy who owned and DD'd a Charger for years, you have to really be doing something stupid with them to wreck one...and that's even more true with the newer cars. The new SRT cars have a pretty solid traction and stability control system that will keep things from getting hairy IF you leave them on.
Of course, I'm betting he had all that off and was being stupid with a nearly 800 HP car. (Dodge underrates the power) Predictable result. |

700 hp on relatively skinny tires is a big deal.
Lots of folks think they've driven fast cars, but the hellcats are really out of whack in terms of available grip / handling finesse compared to a lot of the cars buyers likely drove before getting one. The real problem is crossing over the threshold where the car can light them up at will, even at 70mph going down the highway. 400-500hp generally won't do that. Regular SRT Chargers and Challengers won't do that. These will. |

Just because you have money to buy a car, does not mean you know how to drive it.

Interesting tidbit from the article. The Hellcat models have two keys. One allows you 500 horsepower and the second is wide open. I'd never seen that mentioned before.

From the article:
MotorAuthority.com said of the Hellcat’s power: “We’ve driven the new Challenger SRT Hellcat and found that it delivers performance that will leave even those used to powerful cars awestruck, so this sad sight serves as an important reminder for buyers of such cars to always factor in their own skills and consider whether the cost of a performance driving course should be included in their price estimations.” I built an eleven-second '65 Mustang, makes somewhere north of 420 horsepower. In a 2800# car, that can be a handful. Those Challengers and Chargers are quite a bit heavier, but 700 horsepower in a street car really boggles the mind |

That sucks. Hopefully the owner walked away unhurt.
Eta: I've never wanted to buy a dodge vehicle before but these new Hellcat SRT Challengers are giving me the itch to buy one. |

Ford has something similar called My Key, you can program one key so the speed and a bunch of other things are limited. They say it's good when you kids or other people drive the vehicle. |

Reminds me of the '71 Roadrunner my buddy built with a very "nicely" built 440 and had to sell to pay medical bills before the paint was even dry.
The kid he sold it to wrapped it around a pole a few days later.

A lot of power on demand, a lot of tire until it it isn't there.. Most people just aren't used to what these cars can do. Reminds me of all the Vipers wrecked right off the lot or by dealership employees.

Once again, skills > gear.
You see this in the AR threads, the survival forum, and especially anytime someone talks about fast cars. If these guys spent some of their car money on track days and autocross schools, they would find that their cars need less crap bolted on to go faster. |
