The GT500 and ZL1 are the end for them right now in their current platforms, ford is migrating to the GT350 which will compete up against the current Z/28 (lighter weight, carbon ceramic brakes, high rev v8, etc) and future model on the new platform the camaro is built on.

I bet even with Dodge this is a 1 maybe 2 year product car tops, just to say they did it and be done.
I hate the look of that damned Camaro, I really wanted to like it but the thing is just butt ugly esp from the rear.

im confused.....

challenger 2door 707hp 10.8 1/4 and top speed of 198
charger 4door 707 hp 11.0 1/4 and 205 mph

why is the charger a faster top speed? drag? aero pack? more doors? lol

but seriously......im not a big dodge guy.....

but if these are priced right i might be interested.

Probably a bit more aerodynamic.

And the Challenger is ~$80,000 at the moment. I can't imagine the Charger being too much less than that, if at all.

"The longer body and improved aerodynamics are what help the Charger Hellcat beat the Challenger Hellcat to 60 mph — it's 12 percent more aerodynamic, Dodge says."

"Pricing for the new 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat has not yet been announced and will be revealed when the car goes on sale in the first few months of 2015. The Challenger Hellcat is priced at $60,990 (including destination and gas-guzzler charges), and it's not unreasonable to expect that the Charger will actually be priced similarly if Dodge sticks to the pricing strategy that it has been following for the company's SRT models."

i like the sound of 60k for 707hp :fap:

Maybe they'll eventually come down to that price, but you know how dealers are...

Dodge did a wonderful thing with the Hellcats. 700hp with factory warranty for under $80,000. WHO else has done that????
