Link for those curious; http://www.drivesrt....er-srt-hellcat/

 

This has to be the most American car there is. There are a few production cars that have more horsepower, but they're all these nice, refined sports and super cars. Things like the Pagani Huayra, Ferrari F12, and the Porche 918. I'm pretty sure the Ferrari is the cheapest on the list here at around $320,000/ 194,000£.

 

Dodge did things a little different. I imagine this car to be the product of a few drunk, possibly southern car engineers playing a game of one upsmanship. They took their already insanely powerful 6.4l that gives 485hp to their SRT8 model, destroked it to a 6.2 and threw a supercharger on it to boost air intake. Take this, throw it in a car that's probably not that aerodynamic and probably lacks some things you'd expect from a car in this power range so that it can be sold for $60,000/ 36,400£.

 

I want one. >.>

I don't really have any interest in muscle cars tbh. I like being able to drive fast and turn.

Well it does have better overall gas mileage, but in the horsepower to gas consumption ratio, the challenger is better, so there's that.

Good point, but as long as I pay ~1,30 £ for the Litre Diesel in GB and ap. the same in Germany .... The overall consumption is for me the most important point ... And 190 HP are enough for me ;-)

Yep - it's crazy how the prices went through the roof. I can remember times when my parents paid about 40 cents for a litre unleaded.
