Bought a used Dodge

2015 Hellcat..........I just love this midlife thing......just had the need for speed again and this lil kitty sure fills that need. Missed my SRT10 after driving a Jeep for the past 5 years so had to up the ante a bit and this lil cat puts a nice smile on the face....had her up to 165 on the interstate last night and it's off the drag strip this weekend. Yes it's a daily driver as I only have a 5 mile drive to work.....ayf8quwicp67.jpg

    Nice looking car, but please keep the triple digit speeds on the track, not on public roads.

    165 = instant jail time round here... But you're in Florida, they DGAF. Just be safe/smart about it.

    Would hate to see you blow a tire at that speed.

  • Nice ride. They sure are fun to drive. I'd love a Viper SRT10 ACR personally. They are a blast on a road course.

    My old SRT4 ACR would hit 165mph too but I only did that at Road America. After it was built up some it topped out at 173mph on the rev limiter and ran 11.7's in the quarter. That was a fun little toy for the money.

    Sweet! I miss my RT Classic
  • My buddy bought an orange one this summer. It's the fastest car I've ever been in. It's amazing how fast the paddle shifters change gears. Congrats on a sharp looking car!

    Too bad the paddle shifters are just shifting a normal auto trans.... It's not a paddle shifted manual trans....

  • I don't think a human could shift as fast as the paddle shifters do. I could be wrong though. Shifts were lightning fast in my friends Hellcat.
  • Stick shift manually I mean.

    Hellcats don't have paddle shifted manual transmissions, they are shifted by hand.

    A good European paddle shifted dual clutch sequential manual gearbox will put the Hellcats paddle shifted automatic transmission to shame.

    Even my old slapstick 727 auto trans shifts just as fast as a Hellcat auto trans does if not faster. It will snap you head back any time it shifts.

    Btw a Hellcat will shift just as fast if it's just left in drive all by itself.

    Is that like buying a used condom?

    JK, enjoy, nice piece.
