I'm buying my lottery tickets tomorrow!
That's insane - I want one.........................what a way to end the piston engine era................................make the Tesla EVs earn their credentials.
I'm thinking......
Keep what I currently have.......
And buy one of these as my final retirement car.

Money isn't real, Bob.
Yep, can't take it with you......
Maybe if I trade the Scat Pack and the Redeye and get the price down to $100k.
I bet they sell all them within minutes......
Too many people with big money in this world like half the people at B-J on Saturday nights.

I'm really not sure how the power of these beasts are handled by the average guy. Most of these high dollar Dodges, ( Demons and Hellcats) are owned by guys who are NOT capable of keeping these cars straight. The amount of wrecked cars Bob has shown us is a testament to the machine being too strong for the operator.
Cool automobiles for certain but probably should come with a required driving test .

I learned from day 1 that you have to be responsible when driving these cars. I've had cars with power before (not as much as my current cars). It is too easy to lose control and you can easily kill other people with the power these cars generate. My window sticker had a free one day driving class at Bourduant Driving School in Arizona included with the car. I rarely do any kind of burnouts with my cars unless I'm on the racetrack. I never use the Launch Control because the car is insane if you leave at greater than 1200 rpms. I have 9000 miles on the Redeye and safely enjoyed every mile. I see these younger guys doing crazy stuff and are totally out of control when they are driving these cars. The older Hellcats are affordable now so I see more of these young guys out beating the **** out of them daily.
Even when I was very, very sick a few months ago I knew that I couldn't safely drive the Redeye (easiest car to get in and out for me) and I couldn't even climb into my Ram. I took a cab for 50 miles from my home to Johns Hopkins in Baltimore because I knew I was too sick to keep a vehicle safely under control.

You gotta kinda be responsible when driving any car, even a Dodge Aries. The horsepower in these cars is insane and the torque is outrageous.
My RT was the fastest car I had ever driven. The 345 would break the wheels loose at a rolling 10 miles an hour and would easily go a bit sideways on you.
Now, the 392 will break loose at 50 mph and easily go sideways as it just begs to be let loose.
These cars , your included is insane unbelievable raw power...breaking loose at highway numbers is crazy.

The first mention of it I've seen on here from you.

Likely the last... it kinda came out in conversation.
And they just don't wreck them but they totally destroy them. There is a salvage yard in Ohio that specializes in totalled Hellcats, Mustangs, and Corvettes. The drivetrains are sold in minutes and I'm sure they have a waiting list to snatch the next Hellcat drivetrain for a RestroMod build that hasn't even been wrecked yet.

A few weeks ago a woman in her 30's wrecked a 2020 Hellcat Charger with her 8yr old daughter riding along, the story was speeds over 100 and missed a slight curve in the road and rolled the car. They survived and were both air lifted out.
