Just saw my first Hellcat
Was just getting some donuts at my Tim Hortons down the street and wouldn't you know it, a Hellcat Challenger parked right in the corner. I was extremely surprised to see that here in Niagara Falls, Ontario. There's maybe about 10-15 Challengers I've seen driving around town, about 3 or so being SRTs. Not many higher end cars around here that I've personally seen (higher end meaning ZL1s, Shelbys, Hellcats and such). I'm a Camaro guy, but I do really like this car!

Agreed, they're absolute beasts of cars! If I had the money, I'd buy one. A cruise I was at in the middle of April, about 5 or 6 showed up. It was cool seeing that many all together!

I've never even seen a ZL1 in person, so seeing something like this is quite awesome! I just love cars, not concerned about who makes it.

seen a green one in town today too
I have seen a few at shows and at the chicago autoshow. First one I saw driving, I wasnt impressed with the sound. From the videos and such it sounded super mean. They guy didnt get on it but I figured even normal driving it would have a better sound

It was cool to see it parked, but I wish I would've had the chance to see it on the road to see how the sound was. You'd think they'd make it sound pretty mean.

Those cars have a unique presence to them. I saw one exactly like the one you posted by my work. Bad ass car.
btw I was also underwhelmed with its sound. My 1LE w/ dual-mode exhaust is louder than the hellcat. |

My first one was in Sacramento, CA it was a red one.
If it wasn't for my Camaro the Challenger (SRT-8) wouldve been my next choice. Nice cars they are.

I saw a Hellcat Charger about 3 weeks ago at a Cars and Coffee meet. It was pretty nice.

The more I see these the more I like them. The Hellcat Charger is pretty mean as well, and only around 200 lbs heaver than the challenger I believe. Be pretty cool to have a factory warrantied 707 HP sedan with the kids and groceries in the back

I have a couple of friends who keep seeing them in the area, but I still haven't found one. I'd love to go on Power Tour this year, I'm sure they'll be everywhere.

some (morons) in my area started sticking "Hello Kitty" decals on the front fenders of their standard Challengers in a futile hope to fool people.
