Dodge’s Challenger Hellcat is at it again taking on a new Chevrolet Corvette Z06 for a few races in this video filmed by BadBowtieProducitons.  Both cars are running 6.2L Supercharged V8 engines with the Z06 producing 650HP and the Hellcat putting out 707HP. While the Z06 has a clear power to weight advantage with 5.4 pounds per HP vs the Hellcat’s 6.2 pounds per HP, the Hellcat is putting that power down through an 8 speed automatic transmission vs the 7 speed manual transmission in the Z06. The result as you can see below is a toss up, which each car Read More

Watch a 707HP Dodge Challenger Hellcat take on the 700HP Lamobrighini Aventador during a roll race.   While the horsepower numbers are similar at around 700HP each,  the Hellcat carries an additional 400 pounds of weight over the Aventador.   However, that weight penalty doesn’t seem to matter as per the video.  While it’s a close race, you can clearly the Aventaor’s single clutch 7 speed ISR transmission holding the car back. Of course this was the Hellcat’s race, a roll race, negating the Aventador’s all wheel drive launching capabilities which allow 0-60 MPH in under 3 seconds, something the Hellcat can’t handle unless it’s Read More

We’ve got some video from the StreetCarDrags January 18th event at Palm Beach International Raceway of a 2015 Tesla Model S P85D going racing a 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat.   The Tesla is powered by two electric motors with a combined output of 691 horsepower while the Hellcat has a 6.2L Supercharged HEMI V8 pumping out 707HP. The Tesla P85D set a new world record (verified by NEDRA who was onsite) for being the quickest and fastest production electric car in the world running 11.6 @ 114.6 MPH in the 1/4 mile with a very a 1.65 60′ time.  0-60 MPH came in last just 3.1 seconds.  The Read More

Take a look at this modified Dodge Challenger Hellcat running well into the 10’s on drag radials with a 10.48 @ 133 MPH.  While the mods are not listed we’re thinking a pulley, tune and exhaust could be good for another 10o horsepower over it’s already strong 707 horsepower.  Of course they could have taken the easy way out with a nice shot of nitrous. Take a look at the video below and let us know what modifications is has:

Nine Ball Garage took a 2014 Dodge Viper TA and a 2015 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 to KP Racing for some back to back dyno runs to see just how these two competitors perform on the dyno. The Viper TA powered by a 8.4L V10 put down 540 horsepower and 517 ft-lbs of torque while the Corvette Z06 powered by a 6.2L supercharged V8 put down 564 HP and 566 ft-lbs of torque.   Dyno Graphs Viper TA Dyno Graph Corvette Z06 Dyno Graph Source: Nine Ball Garage

Take a look at the all new Challenger Hellcat with it’s 707HP supercharged V8 HEMI taking on the new Corvette Z06 with a 650HP supercharged V8.  It’s a close race with the Corvette losing a little ground during each shift of it’s manual transmission. The Hellcat’s automatic transmission along with a bit more horsepower does a great job of making up for it’s large weight and aerodynamic disadvantage compared to the Corvette.  

The team over at K&N had some time with the all new Dodge Challenger Hellcat and strapped it to their DynoJet to see just how much horsepower Dodge’s new beast of a car is actually making.  The Hellcat did not disappoint, putting down an impressive 635 horsepower and 591 ft-lbs of torque to the rear wheels through it’s 8 speed automatic transmission.  Using a 13% driveline loss that puts the Hellcat at around 730HP and 679 ft-lbs of torque. Impressive numbers to backup it’s 10.8 @ 126 MPH run down the 1/4 mile last month.  Enjoy the video and dyno graph Read More

Dodge has released details on the all new Charger Hellcat brining in the entire drivetrain from the Challenger Hellcat, a 6.2L Supercharged HEMI V8 with 707 horsepower and an 8 speed automatic transmission.  This combination pushes Dodge past the likes of Mercedes AMG and BMW M to take the titles of quickest, fastest and most powerful 4 door sedan in the world. Dodge is quoting impressive numbers with a 0-60 MPH time of just 3.7 seconds and a 1/4 mile time of 11 seconds flat on street tires. Top speed of the all new Charger Hellcat is an astounding 204 MPH!  All we Read More

We have some fresh pictures of a SRT Viper Convertible that was available for viewing at Prefix during the Viper Owners Association event in Detriot, MI.   No details yet on availability or if this is just a one-off done by Prefix, but looks incredible to say the least! UPDATE: Information is coming in that Prefix is doing the convertible conversions at a price of $35k in addition to the price of your SRT Viper.  At the high end that will put a SRT Viper GTS convertible in the $178k range, wow!

Dodge just published a video of it’s all new Dodge Challenger Hellcat making a pass down the 1/4 mile.  The Hellcat with it’s 6.2L Supercharged V8 HEMI making 707 horsepower along with an 8 speed automatic transmission and drag radials ended up running an impressive 10.8 @ 126 MPH down the 1/4 mile which is quicker and just as fast as the SRT Viper. Dodge has certainly stepped up their game and it’s awesome to see the horsepower and muscle car wars continue on.  We wonder what Ford and GM will do now with their Shelby Mustang GT500 (662HP) and Read More
