Challenger SRT Hellcat

[5.0GT]

64-68k when all said and done. Still a bad mofo. Just wish the bodystyle wasnt outdated because I'm tired of challengers. They are every where I live.

Just as I have never seen a Shelby on the lot for less than $65-70K. I doubt I will see a HellCat for less than $70-80K

So.....80k after options and markup...no thanks.

LOL, people are getting them for MSRP and there aren't many options.

I think the more important thing to take notice of is the Scat Pack and SRT8, with the 6.4L V8, does 0-60 in 4.1 and the 1/4 mile in 12.4. I'd love to see the 15 GT come in below those numbers in both the manual and auto. Technically it should if Ford is committed to beating the Boss 302.

Magazine times or private owners? Take the current '11-14 to say MIR or Atco, put a hotshoe behind the wheel and they will already do a 12.4.

Bone stock including OEM tires?

The current record is a 12.2x @114(ish) mph. Listed on SVTP but I can't link there as it is blocked here at work.

Looks like a certain member with some insider knowledge called the price at $59,990

Once again of course they are leaving off at least a $1700 gas guzzler tax and $1000 destination. Realistically this will be a base $62,700 manual and base $64,000 automatic. So to get that 11.2 quarter with the 8 speed auto you are going to shell out $64K a whole $4000 more than their "quoted" base price. All manufacturers do it but I still find it misleading and slimy.

And their "price" for ZL1 should read $55,355 not the stupid $58K they have up. Dodge wants to leave off GG and destination off their base price but include it with their competitors. Again, I find this misleading and deceitful.

Price for GT500 should read $54,200 as well not the $56K number they have up, again Dodge added the destination and GG tax. This is highly disingenuous and deceptive on their part.

The fact is not a single Hellcat is going to sticker below $62,700 and most will be in the mid $60's.

Do we know for sure they aren't including all that in the price if they are for the ZL1?

I've known about this for a while, but even I have a hard time believing it. March in Maryland means serious mineshaft air. I ran my 12.19 on OEM Pirellis just two days later at MIR(lightly modded though).

Agree. That air at that time of the year can be a difference maker. That 12.19 is a good run!

I thought the GT500 didn't get the gas guzzler tax?

EDIT: did a google search. GT500 does not have a gas guzzler tax.

I admit we don't. It is just a guess, BUT if they are willing to tout a 10.8 ET on drag slicks as a "stock" record or something to that affect, they would be willing to cook the stats in their favor. I'm willing to bet they are hiding the GG tax and destination out of that price. I believe I will be proven correct in the near future.

OK so Dodge fudged the numbers even more in their favor then. GT500 should be listed on that chart as $55.2K (if they include destination) not the $56K they have listed. The chart is misleading at best.

A lot of Hellcat fans are thinking it is only going to have a $1000 GG tax as well. I'm guessing $1300 on the manual and $1700 on the automatic. (Maybe more on both)

Today Dodge announced that the Hellcat will have a starting MSRP of $59,995. Not pennies, to be sure, but that’s a heck of a lot of 10.80 ETs on slicks for the money. The list price includes the gas guzzler tax ($2,100 gas-guzzler tax; $1,700 if you get the eight-speed automatic), but doesn’t include destination fees, or what we expect will be a hefty dealer mark-up.
