Three part question--no, this is not the drag version--last year they released the HellCat Demon that was the track package car. It was available with a bunch of hp options, but stripped of all "comfort features"--including no back seat or passenger seat and was available with a roll cage--5 pt hitches were standard. Yes, mine has street tires and all of the "comfort features" you'd expect in a modern luxury car. It does handle better than the base Hellcat due to improved suspension tuning, wider track and slightly reduced weight. As for my old one--one of the guys from the car clubs at the shows I go to bought it--it is one of the first 1000 Hellcats produced (actually one of the first 500, based on the VIN), so I think he is going to just stash it away.

Haha--I thought you meant something like BONE HEAD--as in what kind of bonehead would buy something like that. The factory exhaust note is stupidly loud the minute you crack the throttle--it has a nice "burble" even at idle.
Nice thing about PA is we have no front plate (never have), so you can put whatever you want on the front of the car.

I honestly don't know. I have not looked that up, or seen definitive numbers in the reviews. I am guessing that it may be limited to 186 mph (as per the speed rating of the tires) like many manufacturers do, but that can be overridden. I don't know if I'd want to hit 200+ anyways--it is a big, fairly heavy car, and not exactly "aerodynamically advanced". I have had her up to a little over 140, just to see, and still stable, so time will tell.

OK--so I looked it up from test track results--all 4 came it at 203-204 mph.

OK--"idjut" just remembered that he "might" have a pic of the Jag on his phone from when we went to a gun show up by Pymatuning Resevoir--my avatar is now a pic of the "big Cat" going across the newly renovated dam--they had this closed/limited for two years.

Not just the fact that it is salt getting into everything--can you imagine how abrasive all that salt/sand would be to everything?

I'll stick w/ my '58 M206 Willys (Jeep). I can drain the fuel tank in 11 years. Maybe.
That Challenger is A LOT of car. I actually saw (parked) a "Demon" version a few weeks ago @ a shopping center in Luxembourg City. Can you imagine taking one of those beasts out for a grocery run?

I'm sure mine will end up in a grocery store parking lot, sooner, rather than later. Hey, when you need bread and milk, you need bread and milk--doesn't matter what you are driving that day
