I know this car can't tow so take it with a grain of salt, but I got to say I really like these SRT guy's.So for you gear heads enjoy...Link

We have an acquaintance with a 625 HP 599GT Ferrari, man would I like to show up at his house with a Hellcat!

Long winded fellow is about all I got out of it. Another reason Ford ad department is #1.

If we're lucky, we just might see a Hellcat Grand Cherokee. But they might de-rate or take away its tow rating all together :(Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think there's ever been an OEM supercharged engine rated for towing. Save for 2 stroke Detroit Diesels, which aren't really "supercharged"...

In fact, the SRT Cherokee had the exhaust pipes moved to the center of the rear bumper, ostensibly to make sure you couldn't even attach an aftermarket hitch.

We visited my mom last weekend and my nephew shows up in his new ride - a 700HP supercharged Challenger. No,I didn't get to drive it since he's still breaking it in. But $80K?

I really like the Challenger myself. However, the Nissan GTR is faster with less HP and smaller engine.

Maybe but I would not be caught dead in the Nissan. It's gawd awful looking.

yes, digging this thread up from the grave.... but, looks like the mighty Hellcat has a bit of an issue putting the power to the ground for a 1/4 mile. But honestly, they should have switch up drivers.

Where I live we have snow 10 months out of the year (feels it anyway)
and because of that, I prefer my supercars have AWD.

That means the Nissan is my first choice, but if I had to, I would take the Challenger. I bet both are fun on slick roads!

Closest to that was many years ago. Got up early to head to the ski slopes. Checked the weather. 0% chance of any precipitation, clear skies, sunny and warm. No storms even close. So I took my Trans Am instead of my 4x4 truck. 1/2 way through the day it began to snow. Had to drive the Trans Am home through a blizzard with big wide rear tires that had no traction in snow. Made it but I wouldn't call it fun!!
