Pros & Cons of Owning a Hellcat
Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары
Hi everyone, I've owned my Hellcat for almost a year now and wanted to share the pros and cons I've learned along the way. This is all based on my opinion and preferences. With that said, I am forever keeping her! haha
Drive safe!

You’re not paranoid about having your car stolen? That’s the main thing holding me back from getting an RT since that’s all I can afford
Use it just whenever you are out even at home don’t worry about the hassle gives you a piece of mind somewhat
Omg I thought I was the only one that hated driving mine in the rain … puddles and every red light and stop sign when it’s raining… you have to pay attention way more than any other car I’ve had

Right! I had no idea it was a thing until this car lol
This lady knows her car. Everything she said is true, put clear and simple here. I'd add that some of the "losing control" is part of having a car with this much power, RWD only and shitty stock tires. The factory Pirellis are just trash. Using a better tire will improve the handling a long way. Other cars with this much power, such as a Camarlo ZL1, will also be hard to tame on low grip conditions, but they ship with better tires from factory. Another important aspect here is how easy it is go gain power (as if you needed more) compared to the Scat Pack / SRT392 (6.4L NA). These 6.2 engines are very robust and stock configuration has a good, safe margin to work with, while the 6.4 pretty much comes at its limit from factory and any big gains will require changing pistons and other internal engine components. The 6.2 Hellcat engine can easily get 100 more HPs with pulley, injectors and a tune.

she's not lyin about how easily you can lose control of one of these things, it's happened to me several times. it DOES burn A LOT of gas. you can literally SEE the guage moving if you look at it. it's ridiculous. she's also right about being robbed. she better be careful. you can easily get jacked for this car. i bought a destroyer gray charger hellcat for my mother. we don't drive it daily so it's protected and preserved in a garage with a car cover. it's a 2017 with 22 or 23k miles. it's only driven when she needs to go somewhere. and i have my own 2007 fully loaded black jeep grand cherokee srt8 with less than 60k miles on it. we're also NOT selling the hellcat since dodge is (stupidly) not making them anymore. i HOPE she doesn't ruin it by driving it daily and racking up miles on it. she better get a beater.

Wow really what state y’all live in what’s your address and social 👀… asking for a friend
Had a Charger Scat Pack. Wasn't bad in the rain. But borrowed a friend's Challenger RT when my car was in the shop. It was down right scarry in the rain. I now have a Hellcat Durango. All wheel drive. No problem. But I do miss my Manuel Mustang Bullitt. Though a lot more scarry to drive 100 miles per hour at night than my Scat Pack was
Great video i love my scat and i have some of the same issues with my car even though its not a Hellcat I feel your pain lol
Awesome car.
So nice. Do u have a kill switch for ur car? And one of those signal blocker boxes for ur keys? There is also a small pouch u cm but as well. This way the signal/frequency can’t replicated, and it being stolen.
Bronze wheels will look really good on this one. Nice ride! Be watchful of those jackers, especially being out in Cali.

My hellcat pros and cons are Pros: SO MUCH FUN interior is comfortable Normal traffic CANNOT cut you off or get in front of you if you dont want to. Attention from people Gas mileage on the freeway Cons: Way low to the ground, so you cant do ANY off-road ( camping, etc ) EXPENSIVE Gas mileage in the city interior is OLD Has to get put into storage during the winter if you are not insane. attention from kids.... cool they like such a muscle car, but cmon I dont always need to do a burnout lol. 4:36 Yea I was so nervous that I just kept on the road when I did a cross country trip. Side note, I am curious. What is the cost for your insurance? Ive got a daily which totals it out to 1,500 for 6 months
I’d love to have one but I live in the ATL area and are stolen A LOT! I wouldn’t get any sleep, even with a my garage. Lol! I wouldn’t be able to enjoy outings.

Doesn't it come with Blind Spot Monitoring? Everything else is pretty much true. It does have cruise control which is capable of 28MPG on long trips while in Eco Mode.

Just in joy your CAR YOU MITE WONT TO Consider CarLock !, a steering wheel lock, and a brake lock.. I know it can be a hassle. It just might keep your car safe somewhat.
I have two of them and love them both. Having a fast car does not make you a fast car driver. If you’re worried about gas, don’t buy a muscle car. My Hellcat tag renewal is $142. Sounds like you should trade or sell your car and perhaps move from commiefornia.
PA car registration is $45.00 per year.

Word to the wise esp if it's your first Mopar....buy an R/T, get used the power, mod it one piece at a time, get used to incremental power increase, save on car payments and insurance, make your own Hellcat for way cheaper. You're welcome.
Never trust a puddle or a fart. Words to live by.
