Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Causes Existential Crisis

Has a car ever given you an existential crisis?  One writer for Paste Magazine seems to have had his world turned topsy-turvy after spending some time in a 2016 Dodge Charger Hellcat.

John Brandon, writing for Paste, was given a chance to take the 2016 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat for a review drive.  The experience seems to be a life-changing one.  It all started with the choice of two keys.

For those in the know, the Charger SRT Hellcat comes with two different keys.  The red key is the one that gives the driver access to the true power in that Hemi engine.  Picking that red key, compared to the scene in the Matrix where Morpheus gives Neo the red pill, seems to be what caused the existential driving crisis.

The speeds that he reached allowed him to transcend his typical mind set, to launch him into a new dimension of thinking.  In this space, he transformed into the Star Child and realized the secrets to the meaning of life.  All kidding aside, it really was the transformation of driving a high-speed powered vehicle at speeds one typically doesn’t experience.

The review is light on details but the experience the writer had with the Charger Hellcat is an amusing one and definitely worth your time for the chuckle alone.  Check it out.

The 2015 Woodward Dream Cruise started off with a blast and has been more successful than ever.  More than 10,000 auto enthusiasts showed up to make sure the 2015 show was the most memorable yet and to show that they definitely want to see a return of the event in 2016.

One of the coolest competitions was the drag race.  Not only was it a chance for drivers to show off their cars and skill in an old-fashion race, but Dodge had a prize for the ultimate winner in the form of a new 6.2-liter supercharged HEMI V-8.  The winner was Brandon Philips with his 1969 Dodge Super Bee.

The other major race event was Richard Rawling’s Gas Monkey Garage vs Roadkill’s “General Mayhem.”  The two competed in a drag race to see whose supped up car was the best.  Rawlings brought a customized 1967 Dodge Dart with a Hellcat powertrain inside.  Roadkill brought a 1968 Dodge Charger, also with a Hellcat powertrain.  The ultimate winner was Gas Monkey’s Dart making me wish to see a Dodge Dart Hellcat in the near future.

People who attended the show definitely got to see all kinds of celebrations of cars.  They were given the change to take rides in the new SRT Hellcats as well as new Dodge Vipers.  It is certainly a show to remember.

Dodge Charger and Challenger SRT Hellcat Production Number Not Known Yet

Tim Kuniskis, CEO and President of Dodge, wanted to squash a rumor going around about the new Hellcat models of the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger.  According to some, the new models will have a very limited run of only 1,200 cars.  This, quite frankly, is just not true according to Kuniskis.

“That rumor about the 1,200 cars really upset a lot of people,” he is quoted as saying by Mlive.com.  “I want to get as many of the cars out on the road, I want to get as many people talking about Dodge and excited about Dodge as possible.”

The real number as of this time is unknown.  Dodge has not settled on how many of each they plan to make.  The only thing for sure is that the number is not 1,200.

“I don’t know what the life cycle’s going to be,” Kuniskis continued.  “I was very clear when we launched the Challenger: If you missed the first muscle car area, don’t miss this one.  I don’t know how long this could last, so take advantage of it now.”

The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is the most powerful sedan ever with 707 horsepower from a HEMI V8 Hellcat engine.  All the styling and comfort of the Charger all tied together to be one of the most powerful rides on the market.
