Dodge Challenger SRT vs F16 - SRT DealerNY
I am all one for thinking outside the box for races, but I think Top Gear may have caused everyone to have to get outrageous on occasion. Take the new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, praised for its extreme horsepower, and what it was put up against. If you ever debated between getting a Challenger Hellcat SRT or a F16 Fighter Jet, then I have a video for you.

Yes, that is an absurd thing, but never let it be said that for all my complaining, this is a guilty pleasure. The guys at /Drive decided to put the Challenger Hellcat SRT up against the Fighter Jet to see what would happen, but they didn’t plan on having the race during a monsoon.

That causes the Challenger Hellcat SRT to have initial trouble achieving the full potential. It’s no question that once the F16 gets up to full speed, it will pull ahead of the muscle car. The question to ask is how will it fare in this terrible, wet weather and how much can it gain on the fighter jet before it reaches full takeoff speed?

Watch the video and see for yourself how the Challenger Hellcat SRT does against the F16 Falcon:

Jay Lenos Thanks Wound Soldier With a New Car

Jay Leno is a car lover.  Since retiring from the late show, he has been inviting audiences into his vast garage to see his magnificent collection.  So when it comes time to think of something to give someone a gift, it is a sure bet it is going to be car related.

Leno wanted to find a way to express his love for the troops while visiting them in Afghanistan.  He wanted to do something incredibly special that would provide a moment away from the chaos of combat and life away from home.  He created a lottery for the injured soldiers to pick one from random and give him something special.

The name that won the lottery was Cpl. Ethan Leberge.  He was injured by a suicide bomb that left two other soldier dead and seriously injuring him.

Jay Leno invited Cpl. Leberge for a joyride in the new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.  In a heartbreaking moment, Jay asks him what he thought of the ride and Leberge responded with “Yeah I wouldn’t mind having one of these” and Leno hands him the keys telling him that “It’s yours.”  A hug later Leno reminds him that “America loves you.  Don’t get any tickets.”

The new Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is built with the expressed purpose of achieving one goal, absolute speed.  To that end, it is a marvelous success.  Not too many vehicles get to brag about the amount of horsepower this baby has.  Sadly, there is more to a car than just the power under the hood.  So while we all know the power, how is the rest?

Autocar has their overall impression of the Challenger SRT Hellcat.  They came to the conclusion that it a very odd vehicle to be on the market.  Like I said earlier, it is designed for the purpose of pushing what a muscle car is capable of.  But how does this play to the average buyer?

I think the answer is simple, it doesn’t.  This car is meant for a niche.  It is meant for the gearheads who don’t mind a car that burn through an entire tank of gas in 13 minutes.  That very statistic is the reason they are buying a Challenger SRT Hellcat.

For a practical car, it doesn’t make sense.  This really isn’t the daily drive to work kind of Challenger.  This is for the thrill of the road.  This is to shake off the stress of the day.  Even the reviewer acknowledges how impractical it is on the road (UK roads in this case).  However, for people looking for one mean machine, this is it.
