A VERY reliable source on a popular Challenger forum leaked the base Hellcat price at "$59,990?"

That's amazing if true. I am currently working on getting on the list.

but mineshaft DA and the right launch - yeah this car has the power to go high 10s stock

pull off the mufflers
remove the seats (maybe a few extra lbs of other stuff as well)

and yes it should do it


drag radials
juice
and some weight removal should have it solidly in the 9s

Pull off the mufflers? No reason for that non sense.

SRT/Dodge probably put their sites on the GT500 and ZL1. Both of them can be had new for under 60k.

Putting the Hellcat at 70k and it would sit collecting dust with the Vipers on show room floors

Huge win for Dodge if this is true

I am betting mid 60's for price. If less I will be incredibly happy.

My 9 second ss and 9 second c7 both run mufflers so it's anyone's guess. Lol. Factory mufflers flow pretty much straight through these days. I guess the weight savings would be a plus sans mufflers.

Haaa I noticed that too it's just on a spring strut setup nothing special that's why also saw the 275's on the rear that caliper was the rear.

No way! I really cannot see it being less than 67k BASE. They would have to be losing money selling at 60k.

[rocket403]

The source that gave the 60k price has been spot on and if you go check the Challenger site he started the 2015 Challenger thread with all the info.

Ford didn't lose money selling GT500s at 55k...why would Dodge lose at 60k?

[HEMI DAVE]

Note that at $59,990...the car is loaded

.....Very few options to check... 8 speed auto tranny...wheel color.....3 season tires.....upgraded radio....upgraded leather interior....satin hood.....moon roof.....that's about it.......
