    I want one sooooo bad. Any color will do. I cannot believe how much fun the Mopar world is having these days. My MM is the last Ford I will ever make payments on and mines is paid off. I hate payments but for an SRT product I will happily make that exception. 707hp in a stock 4door is just nuts, ridiculous, excessive, but perfect for me!

    I don't know why they chose the Charger over the Challenger for the Hellcat. Would have been a more desirable car.

    The Charger is a "More Door" car.......appealing to a larger market with easy back seat access is my guess??

    The Hellcat engine is in both the Challenger and the Charger, the Challenger is a hair faster in the 1/4 the Charger has a higher top speed. Both awesome cars - I'd take either.

    I just read another article earlier that described the Charger's superior aerodynamics. It has a higher top speed (204 mph) despite being 120 pounds heavier than the Challenger. Challengers are nice but the Charger has the exclusive bragging right of being the world's fastest/most powerful sedan and the ccheapest car in it's segment is a Bentley or S65 AMG LOL. $200,000+ vs $63,000 , plus Chrysler is not giving it a production cap!

    Well, he dumped the car. Less than 900 miles on it. Been in for electrical problems twice. Picked it up from the latest service and drove to the Ford dealer. Traded even for a new 2014 F150 XLT loaded. The discounts for being an internet purchase and for using Ford Credit cut 9 grand from window sticker.

    I have known him for over 40 years. I guess I will allow him this one dalliance with a cheap trollop.
