Or.....you could save even more and get one of these.
Okay, I'm easily confused. Is that supposed to be a Challenger, or just challenged? Better or worse than a Scatpack?

This will probably sanction another "barf" from Hunter.....but I think that was supposed to be THE Scat Pack of it's day :)

Slight exaggeration, but the Super Charger wine alone is worth the extra $20k. Never expected that feature to grow on me as it has. I am at a point in my life where I am going all in or nothing when It came to my reentrace into muscle car ownership. Blessed to be in the position to do so and to be here with you all irrespective of what MOPAR you drive. Merry Christmas.

In 1986, I was looking for a new Dodge pickup to buy. My wife at the time had a 5.0 Mustang 5 spd., and I still had my big block Cuda. While we were at the dealership, I noticed a car there that caught my eye, so I started to look at it to see what it was all about. When my wife saw it, she started laughing, and told me that if I bought that 'POS" that I'd have to park it down around the corner and not in front of the house.
This is what she was talking about:

They used 0-50, huh? And it still took embarrassingly long.

Just more cousins.. Hey a couple of your sisters wouod be good. I am not telling a story or nuttin, but. Back in Chattanooga, away from high school. Take a mi nu min u et tw0 figure this out. Butt, I was dating this gal name Fay, how the name??, She had 3 cousins all lived together with mom and dad whom were divorced, Tennessee, very nice 3 story house. Faye cousins name was Gay, Tenn thang, then the other 2 sisters women were Faye and Gays cousins. Well then there was mom that looked 32 at the age of 45. She looked better than the daughters and let me tell ya they all looked great. Cheerleaders and the majorettes. I don't know how this turned into a 3 day monkey fest, but you figure it out. A bit of pot, caine, alcohol, MDA, and whom knows whatother back in the 70's, Can't tell rest, but I go my $260 1979 Harley jacket back by doing another favor from mom to receive it the day before I left for Fla to get it from 1 of her daughters.
It is in the book. 1 whole chapter devised to this 3 day fore zay. Never fer get it, but I got the jacket the wife bought me. Enough said. I can't even proof read this.

I ordered/owned one of these in Gunmetal Blue ! There were 2 different wheels they came with, the 'pizza pan' wheels pictured here & some that just had larger holes around the rim.
Mine arrived with the crappy looking pizza wheels, but I convinced the dealer to switch them out with one he had on the lot.

Given the B-O-R-I-N-G offerings from most other co's in the mid 80's, these were pretty cool, relatively quick and fun to drive.
I still regret having to sell it off when I moved from MI to FL :(

You deserve some sort of bonus points for admitting that.
Kinda makes Hickster look sane in comparison.

I too daily drive mine, and will likely never race it except red light to red light occasionally. I put out the extra for the HC not because I "needed" the extra HP, but rather because I WANTED it. Not sorry.

No regerts here either. This car is too much fun and that supercharger wine is intoxicating. I love taking out my friends who drive old Civics, Acuras, and minivans in this thing. They always think the engine is making some "weird" pitch noise and if it's normal. I just say, "that's the supercharger, it makes that noise when I do this..."

*proceeds to punch it and watch them hold on for dear life*

Everything feels fast at first. After awhile with the 392 you wonder what your missing out on. And what you are missing out on is Supercharger Whine! Which to me is like the cherry on top with these cars. That extra 220 hp makes a huge difference from 50-150 especially. But right off the back I’ll say this. My 392 was capable of 4.6 0-60 and 10.3 0 to 100.. with proper Michelin Ps4s tires and bigger wheels on my hellcat to compensate for those extra ponies.. I can hit 0-60 in about 3.4-3.8 seconds. I’ve done 3.1 in 17 degrees. And consistently 7.2-7.8 0-100 depending on if it’s cold or hot near me. I’m just above sea level. And let me tell you 7.2 second to 100 from 0 and struggling with traction from 0-40 is a big difference over the 392 over 10 seconds to 100 from 0 stock. It’s really night and day. The 392 feels quick and is. But once you jump in the hellcat. Dude your screwed haha! Because once you experience it for yourself. Than you know what’s up. I owned the srt 392 for 2 years and was proud. But after I made the jump.. I love the hellcat and wouldn’t trade this car for anything in this price range.
