The last Hellcat rumor mill

[Jimmy N.]

Sell your Volkswagen

Did that over a year ago. It turned into a Challenger GT AWD.

I'd consider dropping the TRX for one of those. Especially if it didn't come with that ginormous sun roof.

yeah, I'm not a fan of sunroofs at all.

The part I found somewhat disconcerting.."he started playing with me"..man I sure hope he didn't mean in the biblical sense..

Oh, God watched the whole thing and he approved.

One of the Hellcat owners at the track we talk to you was saying Dodge was testing this week (jon saw the cars and we didn't mention that) He said they were working on launch and said they broke some stuff. He also said they went 1.29 60 ft at 9.30. So the plate does refer to to the 60 ft 1FAST29 1****29. He also said they were having issues with the screws in the carbon fiber wheels. I didn't start the conversation and didn't add to it while he was talking about so indeed the carbon fiber wheels were a thing on car 7. He also said they had the 3.0 hellaphant blower spinning the hell out of it

The bad news is the people he knows that works there says the car will not be sold and no higher ups have given it the green light. So why they are even testing is anyone's guess. He also said there may be no 23's made. The other 6 specials may have already been made but sounds like the factory has been closed for awhile.

100% true, maybe not but some of it for sure. He may be at the track Saturday or next weekend so I can ask some more on what he knows. He owns a Hellcat, Demon, Redeye, Super Stock

What a pathetic half-ass way to go out. Like there was no planning at all.

I gotta think there’s a battle going on. Internally. On one side you know Tim and his legion want this car built. Plus it’s already been promised publicly, so not delivering will pissoff even more die hards.

On the flip side, you have extended filter-tip cigarette-smoking euros wanting all these “crude” cars gone yesterday.

🍿

But if ice is dead at dodge, who gives a fuck about the die hards being pissed? We won't be buying hornets, or banshee or virtually anything else. This is a business and in the end it is about money. Our feelings and druthers etc... don't mean shit.

Speaking of doubts. For whatever reason I'm now thinking about ordering a Durango Hellcat.
Okay, I know the reason: I never had a Durango. And it seems somewhat logical to buy a last of the breed.

But then there's real life. For one, I don't think I could pay for it, and I hate loans. More importantly, what would I do with it?? It'd be one more car that'd be carefully broken in...and then just sit.

Please talk some sense into me. And I'm fully aware that it wouldn't be an easy task.

You could give it to.me at half price.

 

[Jimmy N.]

I'd have to buy one first.

Well they haven't made the switch YET so v8 is still synonymous with Dodge...until it isn't...(fat lady not quite singing)

And as you say, IF they go EV and never look back then yes, you are probably right. But what if this EV 'experiment' fails and we see V8 to the rescue 5 yrs from now. Given there is a non-zero chance that happens it's probably a good hedge not to TORCH the bridges just yet if you are Dodge...

Never mind, just venting.

Well, then get after it.

Where is your girl friend...when you really need her..

 

[DavidKFla]

Lets just hope our buddy David K doesn't call it foreplay...

What am I missing here?

 

[Jimmy N.]

Where is your girl friend...when you really need her..

Hah! She'd be the first one to say "Buy one".
Followed by "You need a few hundred more horsepower if you want to try to keep up with me."

I've given up on trying to keep up. But then again, I don't know how many times I've said "So why don't you buy one?"
And she did.

I do hope Dodge brings something bad ass with that I6TT

There is tons of potential in that motor if they are allowed to do it.
Even the Drag Pak engine at Sema was over 1000hp for one.

Look at Skylines/Supras from the 90s. Many have went well over 1000hp mark with a big single turbo.

If you can get a 76mm to spool quickly on it, you would have a monster of a car.
