It will sell well to the demographics who don't tow heavty...maybe a few who do, but they
will discover all about duty cycle in a hurry...

Even it is superior to the V10 ? Remember cafe ratings are not met (much) in the real world ,but if its in the lab........
I'll take that bet 🙂

The rumors for the 2018 are the new twin turbo 5.0 L ecoboost pushing well over 500, possibly closer to 600. The 3.5 ecoboost in the ford gt is already pushing 600 hp and that is only a 3.5 L

Yeah, DB & his son went in on a Challenger w/ the 707HP engine. They have a rule - whoever's driving it doesn't drink. Not even one. Not even a sniff.

There are three Hellcats (2 Challengers and a Charger) that I see at the airport parking garage every week. I've heard one of them running, and man that exhaust note is sweet.

I'm not interested in one in a 1500, but if it really makes its way into a Grand Cherokee, and has similar towing specs as the current SRT, it will be very tempting.
