“HellCat Hauler”

[Cummins12V98]

Drove truck up to WA from SoCal last week for my Moms Funeral. My Sons friend bought a new toy from Dave Smith and we decided to tow the HC to SoCal then they will drive it to DFW, TX.

Let’s just say 129 mph comes real FAST.

Can't imagine what that cost....

Can't imagine what that cost....

only 99k. He factory ordered it. With AWD it it launches hard. These have 710 HP.

 

[odinjunior]

Nice. Best part is it comes with a Warranty...

 

[lpennock]

Direct Connection has parts to get it over 800hp with full warranty.

Sorry to learn of your Mom’s passing. It’s tough......

What speed is it limited to? A friend of mine in NM had a GC TrackHawk......and he said it pulled HARD.

Limited to 180. Thanks!

Limited to 180. Thanks!

That can be changed with a tune, my CTS-V WAS limited to 175 with auto (193 for the manuals) dotted center line looks solid at that speed (heard it from a friend)
Also sorry to hear of your mom passing.

Sorry for the loss of your Mom... it's tough to offer condolences, then comment on crazy HP in the same thread. My heartfelt sympathy!

Sorry for your loss. Yes if I had a garage to keep one in I would spend 100$k in a heart beat. I got to drive one and they are just awesome cars. But how long would I have a drivers license and not crash and burn..

Rotors and calipers are HUGE

All that powwwwwahhhhh means naught if ya can’t whoa it.

EXACTLY!!! I was very impressed with how large they are. I may get to drive it tomorrow. Have a nice long road nearby without any houses in the country.

Numbers from WA DOT Scales along I-5.

7,480 on trailer tires.

 

[NIsaacs]

I didn't know they made SUV style, looks like a station wagon

My son's, '19 maybe?

@Cummins12V98, My condolences for the loss of your Mom!
How many offers have you gotten for a ride in it? Hope that you do get a chance to let her RUN!

 

[AnonEd]

If you drive it hard those brakes are the first thing that need upgrading...the track question is always what happens first, overheated brakes or tires, or running out of gas.

Thank you!

When we were socializing after the funeral the owner and my Son took people for rides and let them drive if they wanted. I was riding with and a relatives wife killed the guys with the hardest launch. She let off at 92, higher than the others also. I didn't drive it as I had downed a couple at that point!

For a ULTRA-RARE limited production run vehicle that's only going to go up in value ... it really should be towed in an enclosed trailer.

The engine doesn't meet the Obama era mandated evaporative emissions in a SUV for 2022.

My buddy let me sit in his Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat and he even started it up for me. This is the problem with a limited run "fun" vehicle like this. You hate to actually drive it because it's not exactly replaceable. We'd throw each other the keys to our pickups without hesitation for any and NO reason. No, not the keys to The SRT Hellcat or the Wife's other classic Li'l Red Express Truck: understandably also an exception.
