If this car is that popular and makes money, you can bet Dodge will put it in other models...

On that day I will buy a Charger lol (okay probably not heh).

The downside.. I feel that this car will see it's first accident in less than a week of public release. I hope to $DEITY (yes I did that on purpose ) that no parent is stupid enough to buy this for their kid, it will only end poorly.
They're putting it in the Charger. Spy shots have seen them driving around.

Unfortunately, they're not putting it in a 300. They're actually not going to make the 300 SRT anymore after this year. That's actually the reason I sold mine and got the C63. I was going to hold onto it and trade iti in on a Hellcat 300.

Here's my old car.

I tell you what, IF they decide to drop that **** into the Jeep or the 300C, like you, I may run to a Dodge dealership and order one.
I think I heard it'll be in a Jeep in another year or two after the Hellcat Challenger comes out.

The Jeep SRT sells EXTREMELY well, so I don't see how they could resist.

707 AWD HP!!!

I believe that was a test mule for the drive train. I do not believe it is currently in the line up, at least not for the near future

HA!

But actually, the "valet mode" is done through the touch screen. You enter a password and it locks the car out of first and limits the RPM.

The "Black key" limits the car to 500hp instead of 707hp. The kid could still do plenty of damage with 500hp.

It's coming. Trust me. A year after the Challenger is out, you'll see the Hellcat Charger.

I love it!

Put on everything - put in a Dart

Hmmm...wait - a Dart with a Hellcat motor, wide body, raised hood, AWD trick wheels & tires and suspension...I'll call it: Mighty Dart

That would be something if possible

The hellcat is gonna be one crazy muscle car. If it can run a 10.8 on a quarter it's at a gtr level. The 2013 stock gtr's fastest quarter was 10.87.

I love the concept and the fact the Dodge is doing it. It was never meant to be an autocross or road course racer. It is a monster-street legal drag racer with a warranty! Kudos to Detroit.

Mopar is making some nice cars these days. My preference between the big 3.

I have one of those - Laramie 1500 QC 4x4 Monotone Molten Lava Pearlcoat completely debadged and tinted. The interior is what sold me. Decent brown/beige leather/"MB-tek", and the electronics including voice control and touch screen are really top-notch. The air-conditioned seats are nice too. The ride is like big luxury car. Oh and it does all that truck stuff nicely too.

....you listed all the painful things going from my 2012 300 SRT to the C63. I miss the UConnect. I miss my air conditioned seats.

Though, in MB's defense, UConnect destroys just about every infotainment system it's compared against. It's fantastic.

This year MB and in the future, most of the major car mfg'rs will be adopting the Apple CarPlay
http://www.apple.com/ios/carplay/?ci...g-features-com platform including Chrysler/Dodge/Jeep/Ram/Fiat.

I wonder how that will compare to UConnect?
