Whats the decision?
Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody
Matt DeBord/Insider
The 2020 Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody is both excessive car for my driving capabilities and exactly the huge V8 ed two-door I may choose for low-key cruising, provided its pleasing exhaust sounds and ultra-comfy seats..
Quite a paradox, do not you think? However if you believe a bit more, its a super-American take on a performance maker: throwback styling, couch-potato convenience, enormous horse power, a set of rear wheels that do not desire to stay stuck to the pavement, and scads of innovative technology keeping it all in check.
Making a Hellcat into an SRT Redeye Widebody Hellcat adds $17,600 to the price tag and brings everything from an engine chiller to a special speedometer thats registered to 220 miles per hour to the party. The automobile is focused on devoted horse power connoisseurs who are likely to straight-line race this sucker from time to time, but who might likewise desire to walk around corners.
In that regard, this Challenger is … well, challenging. In Track mode, you need to engage launch control or youll lose the back end right away. Like the 755-horsepower Corvette ZR1, you naturally call back your aspirations, which winds up curtailing much of the horse power. Which is OK, because you can have great deals of fun listening and rising the tachometer to the supercharger spool up, again and once again. The sweet symphony of a big Hemi stays something unique in the automobile world.
Ive driven the over-muscled Mustangs and Camaros that are the Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebodys natural competitors, and as with other Dodges, Ive found that the Challenger is extremely much its own animal. Its the most overtly obnoxious of the group, however it likewise does a great task of harboring its tech without undermining its stonking property.
To put it simply, it makes no compromises to 21st-century life. Other than that it does, transforming those compromises into something innovative: controlled fury, many of the time.
Thats pretty distinct, and an obvious selling point. So if youre in the market for a dinosaur thats progressed, the Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody could be your monster.
In that respect, this Challenger is … well, challenging. In Track mode, you have to engage launch control or youll lose the back end immediately. Like the 755-horsepower Corvette ZR1, you instinctively dial back your ambitions, which ends up curtailing much of the horsepower.
