Oh yes, Chrysler definitely knows how to make use of each and every feature on the new 2015 Challenger SRT Hellcat. Let’s take its active exhaust, for instance. With the car still not even being available for pre-order, an example was recently taken to the CEMA show at the Walter P. Chrysler Museum over the weekend, where it put on a brief but spicy aural spectacle.
The Challenger Hellcat revved its all-new 6.2-liter supercharged Hemi V8 a bit, after which it left the scene in a pretty relaxed manner. First of all, this made all its family tree members present at the CEMA charity car show proud - the newcomer still has it, despite all the efficiency strains.
Moreover, the Hellcat’s little show determined more car to do the same. We could identify at least a pair of Vipers, a second -and a third-generation model, but we can be pretty sure there were more voices singing.
Perhaps this aural connection between the 2015 SRT Hellcat and the Viper didn’t happen by accident. After all, the muscle car will be offered with a Tremec TR6060 six-speed stick shift offered on the Viper.
While the various appearances of the Hellcat are a nice treat, we’d like Chrysler to end the teasing and at least tell us how high over the 600 hp mark that Hemi actually climbs.
