    Got a black on black Charger Hellcat in Canada, brand new, for only 65k CAD. Was a 2016 still sitting on the lot in January 2017, when I bought it. Less than $100 per hp, pretty worth it!

    Black key for people you don't trust with 500 horsepower............let's think about this for a moment. I wouldn't let anyone drive this car to begin with, and 500 horsepower is still a lot more than most people can handle.

    This is what the Grand Cherokee should've look like, instead of being called a "Trackhawk". Hellcat hood, Hellcat badging, just Hellcat all around. But! What do we get instead.... A regular looking SRT, with a 707hp hiding under the hood. I'm appalled on how they designed the so called "Trackhawk". They didn't even make an effort to have it look so different from the regular SRT. Since the engine is a Hellcat engine, and it's even labeled 'SRT Hellcat' on the damn thing! Make that shit look like it's a Hellcat! Come on! Trackhawk!?...We already have a 'Trailhawk'. FCA y'all can do better.

    • @BrianMakse
      @BrianMakse  6 лет назад

      I nearly bought a Trackhawk a few months ago and if I still do, I'll be debadging the OE stuff and replacing them with Hellcat badges.

    • @platinum476
      @platinum476 6 лет назад

      Brian Makse I was thinking the same thing. But since I live and Jersey, driving a 707hp in heavy traffic most of the time will be a waste. So I would rather get me an SRT and call it a day.

      Frozen Car Guy - Dodge is really neglecting the Charger Hellcat, which is odd because it made up about 39% of Hellcat sales in 2017. No wide body, no Red Eye variant, not even the ten horsepower bump for 2019 that the Challenger gets.
