2015 Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT-Hellcat

I'm not really a dodge guy but this is pretty interesting to me and possibly others out there the dig cars or automotive tech. 707 HP 6.2L Hemi Supercharged engine going in the new charger and is already in the challenger. I think this is pretty badass. That is some massive power for a street legal "muscle car." Here are a few articles if you want to read.

When they came out with the new Charger and made it a 4-door, it ceased to be a Charger.

I would ditch Ford and Mustangs for a manual transmission Hellcat Charger.

I do like the Challenger, but that new Charger looks just as dumb as the 2006 one.

I work in the auto repair industry, and I would rather work on standard transmissions then autos, or worse yet, CVTs. I love the freedom of standard and they are so much easier to work on and rebuild. 707bhp should be paired with a standard transmission, end of story. That's too much power for an automatic to handle.

Since automatic is "the standard" - well...


And Chabelo, I have seen cars that cost more in manual than automatic, because it is not the default package, and the manual is the upcharge.
