.....what about the speed comparison though? I read a few articles that say its actually slightly faster than the challenger. What are your thoughts since you have moved over to the MOPAR side of the house?

You are correct about the overall top speed between the two. The Challenger is 198-199mph and the Charger's top end is 204mph. At the end of the day, they are both very much alike (minus the extra 2 doors) since the Challenger is built on the same platform as the Charger. IMHO, no matter which brand you are buying, it's a damn good time to be living in.

No need for an extra set of doors here. My wife and I only have a couple 4-legged kids (Jack Russell's) to worry about.

i like the scat pack. glad they didn't serve up that option until after i bought. plenty of new hellcats for sale around here. no longer high demand. dealer discounts posted online all from 62k to 70k. no bump stickers.

Well, thought I would update this one since I finally got my Hellcat. I've had it about a month now and have put about 500 miles on it and all I can say is this car is incredible! I've owned a lot of different stuff over the years, but I think this one is a keeper.
Here are a few pics....

BEAUTIFUL car man! But did I read right where you said that the CHARGER actually has a higher top speed than the 2dr Challenger?

And yes sir...the Charger's aerodynamics are a little better, thus it's top speed eclipses the Challenger's. At those speeds though, it's all relative. Quote:
Oh and the tires are on order.

Much better looking car then the Charger. I've always liked the looks of the Challengers. Good luck with it.
