    I had a friend with one too(GNX), wicked fast for the time and dead sexy. They have videos of Hellcats on youtube dusting off stock GNX's now, but they are like half the HP so c'mon, what they expect and NO traction control on GNX, is was all on you(the way it should be).


    Sorry for hijacking, but I loved the Grand Nationals.

    I was a highwayman
    Along the coach roads I did ride
    With sword and pistol by my side
    and I am still alive

      A stock GNX made 276 horsepower, and a stock Hellcat makes 707hp. Not even sure why they would race those cars head to head. It's no contest.

        That’s just a dumb race. 30+ years technology difference and as 00 said, the hp difference is ridiculous. Let someone with a say 600 hp GNX race a Hellcat and I think it’d beat them. Then there’s the Dodge Demon. Ouch

            The SRTs are fun and all, but man, you're giving up 250 horsepower to a Hellcat. lol.

            I'd eat those SRTs up all day in my CTS-V, and do it in luxury. I sold it before I got in trouble with it.

              My dream street rod is an 86’ Cutlass Ciera Cruiser with wood grain in the sides with the driveline out of a CTS-V. Sleeper of the century.

                The SRT 392 isn’t the Scat Pack one. Fancier, adjustable suspension, interior, etc. They are around $45-$50k new, Hellcats are I think $75k. I’d buy used. Just be picky.

                If you had a 2016 one or newer for sure man. They are going to quit making them in 19’. Don’t get me wrong, I like the V, and the discontinued SS, but just like the look of the Charger, but the V or SS I’d entertain too.

                  The hellcat charger is a bad piece for a stock car. It's on my bucket list of cars to own before I croak.

                    Y'all crack me up. Wish had pics of buddies collection (retirement fund). He's got a sema winning truck, several solid rides and then a street legal drag car that "detuned" pushing 2300hp. Yea he's got some bada*s stuff! Cool thing is he literally owns a model T to a hellcat for his wife, just saying. Y'all ever think we're putting our retirement money in wrong spot (401k)?

                      Josh Bayko, any reason for a Cutlass Ciera? That just doesn't scream cool to me. Everyone has that one quirky car they like for some odd reason.

                      I can't decide if I want to get back in the off-roading game, or buy a square body c-10 and put a turbo ls motor in it. It's gotten so cheap to get a 5.3 motor out of a truck and toss an ebay turbo on it, that it isn't even fair.

                        Recently the wife was wanting something more refined than the Wrangler so we checked out the ATS series......and of course I chose the ATS-V coupe. Wow, very impressed with the performance....probably out drives my heavily modded Nissan Z.

                        Kinda sucks it's the wife's daily but at least I can now play around modding the Jeep.

                        OP - sorry for the major thread jack.
