I really like the SRT8 Charger and Challenger, but adding another 200 horsepower does not a super car make. The car needs more suspension and brakes. It is too heavy, it lumbers around the track. The Hellcat is great for straight lines, but it will quickly get out of hand if you try to power around a corner. On top of that, the modern HEMI is not really a high-performance platform. I have been inside them, they are great in stock form, but if you try to amp it up and really use it, you have to change everything.If the Hellcat was in the Viper, I could see it. If the Mustang or the Corvette had 700+, it could handle it. The Chrysler 300 chassis? no way. It sounds great, it looks good, but it is about 200 hp too much for the chassis.Oh, and at 150mph, the Challenger gets really light. The open-road racers won't run them without serious aftermarket suspension and other mods.</blockquote>
