Agreed 100%. The first time I saw a Scat Pack, I was shocked to see 245's on all four corners. But then again, the standard Hellcat comes stock with 275 All-Season tires on the rear. And remember, for a mere $7,000 more, you can now get the Hellcat Widebody. That gets you 305 rears AND fender flares. WOW!

If that 392 hooks up it will be very hard to beat. When is the race happening?

Wanting to say (w/o looking it up) that the 6.4's are 485hp & their 5.7 is 375hp.

Just a thanks to the op for posting up the photos. But it got me to thinking about all of the idiots that roll up to Camaros, Challengers, Corvettes, Mustangs etc. wanting to race on the hwy. Nobody ever thinks about the off duty police officer that is driving an awesome car.

I've been told I don't get pulled over because they know I'm a cop. My response was there's nothing on my car that says I am and I don't do anything to get attention. Yes I speed once in a while, usually on my motorcycle but that's just to get away from idiots in cars/trucks.

As for Dodge, you couldn't get me to own one even if it were free. I'd take a Mustang but not a Dodge-anything. Poor quality and in the shop a lot. But it's under warranty! Who cares if you can't drive it!! There's a reason why Daimler/the Canadians/Fiat can't do anything good with them and why they've been #3 out of 3 for decades. The Challenger looks good, it should because it was originally designed by the guy that designed the original Camaro (at least that's what I've heard).

Oh I meant it as someone rolling up on an off duty officer pushing to race because they only see a Camaro(or any sport/muscle car). They could have a very rude awakening.

When auto makers in North America are being asked to go to Mexico to help improve vehicle quality that should tell you something.

And she has handcuffs
