2018 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Widebody

[CoupeKing]

Still as heavy but is two seconds faster around their test track than the previous Hellcat.

0-100 3.4
1/4 mile 10.9
TS 195 mph (313 kmh)

I'm sure we will see some significant changes if and when this running gear is slapped on a new chassis:

Hey CK, do you know if that posted top speed is calculated or observed?

That car deserves to have a driver behind the wheel.

Pretty sure it's capable of that speed given the right conditions and enough track. Could be even slightly slower than earlier Hellcats due to the drag from the widebody pack:

Charger is even faster:

A driver at the other end of the spectrum..
Warning, serious tool alert. Sounds and looks good with a decent burnout at the end (custom colour scheme):

Thanks for those other links.

Those idiots in the first vid are a bit self centered.

Those folks testing the Charger did it the right way. I could be mistaken, but that track reminds me of one GM built many moons ago...I think it was GM.

Certainly an incredible car.
I saw one on the freeway the other car, imported 2016 model converted to RH drive, it oozes street cred and looks really tough.

But the body styling is still very much old school and "boxy" compared to the new Mustangs IMO.

Just had to read the OP again...

(I was thinking 195mph was very fast terminal speed for a 10.9 quarter, those numbers didn't add up.)

"TS" must be top speed not terminal speed over the quarter!


That's a quick car!

If Walter White and Jesse Pinkman ever done a short car review.......

Yawn ... i6 BA/BF Falcons with snail and some mods (WAY under the cost of a Hellcat) were doing those sorts of times five or six years ago https://fordforums.com.au/showthread.php?t=11321056
