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!

    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.

    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
