the dodge
hellcat,
­unleashed
• Every man deserves an irresponsible
toy, something for which the risk of
shooting out an eye or spending a week-
end in jail is part of the appeal. That’s
why we love the Dodge Challenger ­SRT
Hellcat and its absurd 707 horsepower.
Dodge dropped off a TorRed-hued
2015 Hellcat for some unsupervised
f logging, and, equipped with our law-
yer’s phone number, we dared to push
the Hellcat’s billet-clad throttle pedal
to the f loor. Pinning our backs to the
high-bolstered, peanut-butter leather
seats, the supercharged 6.2-liter V8 con-
nected with the speed and brute force of
a young Iron Mike, roaring from zero to
60 in a mere 3.5 seconds. The 15.4-inch
Brembo brakes allowed us to stop on a
dime, while the engine’s blower contin-
ued to purr with a muscular, intimidat-
ing ­dissonance.
Even in full SRT track trim, the
­Challenger resembles an oversize line-
backer. Surprisingly, it can still carve
a canyon. It’s no roadster, but the car’s
well-honed suspension feels nimble for
something its size. The interior is a step
in the right direction from past models
and includes a stout f lat-bottomed steer-
ing wheel and an 8.4-inch color screen
that handles infotainment.
For those who like to bring a crew
along for the madness, the Hellcat’s
same devilish power plant is now avail-
able in the four-door Charger SRT,
making it the fastest production sedan
ever.—William K. Gock
