12% less drag coefficient .. 204mph top speed limited by the drag only not engine wise. AND FINALLY THEY EXPLAINED!!!! THE rumor that the cars are limited production is ALL FAKE!!!! the hellcats (challenger or charger). the say you built cars to be a PR stunt not for profit, because they benefit the brand and overall bring people to the brand. they recommend the Scat pak as the perfect sweet spot! but they said they are pissed off with people saying it will be limited production or that will be marked up. They wanted this car to be everywhere thats why it was priced to 59,999 including gas guzzler tax. they want people to buy this car and the more they buy it the more they will produce of it. .....im sold.. now i want to buy a hellcat!! LOL

I wonder when they're going to put this engine in the viper. 1000lbs. lighter would make it a crazy fast super car.

Looks fairly decent, I like it better than the regular 2015 Charger. Granted it still looks nothing like a Charger but it does look more aggressive. 4500+ lbs. Geez... But can still hit 11 flat and go over 200 mph. One fast 4 door sedan.

They've already stated that the hellcat is too tall for the Viper. Won't ever happen.

That's what I'm thinking too, why the heck would they price it under 58k(minus gg tax) only to have it difficult for people to buy one because of low to no allocations for dealers. Dodge must have a good guess at what the demand would be. Making people wait isn't always a good thing because you just never know what could happen and have people's minds change. I too think it's just dealers trying to get big deposits and stuff. Not everybody orders their car, Dodge needs HCs to also be on the lots, why would orders be taken straight from the dealers,"low" allocations while some are even saying they can't take orders at all unless you put down a lot of money right now. That doesn't make any sense, there wouldn't or shouldn't be any limits on freaking orders. I guess we'll see what happens but I've already started thinking bout the 6.4 RT, Dodge is lucky that it's still a 2015 Challenger for me, the new customers that Dodge may have picked up with the HC might opt out for whatever brand they came from.

That is the only thing I do not like about the non Hellcat 2015 Challengers... that smile
The smile with the halos look like, "Johnny 5" to me:ack:

Do you really think the people who drive those cars care about a Dodge? I doubt it especcially the one driving the AMG.

No, you're right. Most who buy cars in this don't care about a couple tenths 0-60 or in the 1/4 mile, but it's still a selling point for many companies, otherwise why would any of them release performance specs?
Really though, when you have sedans making this much power, it's all about bragging rights.
Very few people will ever explore the vehicle's limits. The same could be said about an SRT or even R/T, but the Hellcat's capabilities are on an entirely different level.
If somebody is buying a car for the sake of saying "I have the fastest vehicle out there," brand name doesn't matter. In the super-sedan category, many people do in fact care about the name or badge on the car, but this is why I love the Hellcat. They could have easily shoved this motor in the Chrysler 300 and called it the "World's Fastest Sedan," but instead they put it in the Dodge to keep in line with the "attainable performance" concept.
