So you want to get Closer to Hell: MEOW I GOT THREE WAYS - The HELLCATS

MEOW I GOT THREE WAYS TO HELL: 


So a couple of years back Chrysler/Dodge was near bankruptcy and they had a couple of winners underneath their belt in the form of a Jeep, Dodge, and let's all face it the HEMI. Through that hard change over for all auto's a couple of beautiful cars emerged as a mainstay that would leave the beloved Viper reduced to bench minutes and on the edge of getting cut (The Allen Iverson of Cars). The redesigns began and here came three front runners for car enthusiasts enveloped in something newer than the old Mercedes E-Class platform. The new development surrounded the first powerhouse that was the claim to the fame outside of the box design and its name is HEMI. This time around instead of the natural aspirated phenomenon packed with 460+ HP and 400+ plus lb's of torque came an extra dose of super to power the engines pass the hallmark 500 hp that so many automakers surpassed. As we have learned in exploring easy horsepower one of the safest, most least expensive ways to generate additional grunt is to add a supercharger to the top. It didn't help that under the new Obama regime that we had additional mpg requirements being passed down so if you were power hungry you better get all of this steam out now, this was before the Tesla. 

How do you fund such criminal minded auto's well first things first say your prayers and merge with the saints of Italy, in this case, get bought out. FCA decided that Jeep was too lucrative of a company to pass up. they needed a strong SUV base and only had the super sporty Ferrari, Maserati, and Fiat Sedan, Coupe flagships to rest on. The deal was made help me build a truck and I'll give you the rest of the money you need to complete the supercharger (So I think the story goes). 

Bonjourno mi Italiano the First Devil appears the Dodge Challenger, resting on the success of an old muscle car formula, with old muscle car looks the talks of a  high-powered supercharged engine from down below started to surface and low behold Dodge released the all mighty to be known as RED KEY only Dodge Challenger Hellcat. I would say that the coupe wasn't big enough to bad that it really is but they decided that if you wanted an additional two doors it had a partner to join in the midst of entering the Abyss. Let's look at power numbers because the bad guys really needed additional help. Here come 707HP and 650LB of torque's if that is not enough to burn you to death than what is.

Charger and Challenger

   

So time progressed and I don't have to mention any other stat's who really cares - if you wanted a family sedan and gas mileage you would've looked up my article on the new Toyota Camry. This car has SEVEN HUNDRED AND SEVEN HORSEPOWER ...nothing more to be said but change the tires if you bought it. So through hell and back automakers took notice and FCA chief Northern American competitor decided to strike back but not in the same ways instead of brute strength the General (GM) decided to add handling and less weight to the game, in turn, they made a game changed in the Camaro SS and ZL1 packages. The hottest performance car for the dollar is no doubt the Camaro and unless the big Dodge comes in with the new barracuda chassis it's gonna be tough from an all around performance standpoint but once again most of our roads our straight so I'll say it again 7 hundred and 7 Horse Power, for 60K (Hey Ferrari I have the same horsepower). 

  

FCA has capitalized big I mean real big so big that they said how are you going to haul these merchants from Hell off to Medusa's lair. What it has brought into the fray to end off the probable last era of high HP gasoline engines is the Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT8 Hellcat the latest awakening of the revised 6.2 Liter engine. So what this has brought in for the if I'm gonna DIE, I'm Gonna Die Bad crowd is higher drive height, 4 wheel drive, and the meanest looking stock SUV you can buy off of a car lot. Revisions to the Trackhawk the name put in place for the new Jeep with the supercharged Hemi include a new more upscale interior, revisions to the front fascia, and quad exhaust pipes to differentiate it from its non-supercharged twin brother.
