Now that the 2016 Dodge Charger Hellcat units have started to reach their owners, the time has come to see how such muscle cars handle the not-exactly-light winter we're dealing with this year.
One Youtuber nicknamed bigtruckseriesreview, who admits to delivering "completely unprofessional" reviews, was happy to gift us with a clip showing the man driving his 707 hp muscle car in the New York City snow.
In fact, we need to correct that. First of all, the guy turned to the Hellcat's 500 hp mode, and secondly, his icy stint looks more like a wrestling match than a drive.
Oh, and we're not quite sure about the 6.2-liter supercharged Charger's influence on the man's vocabulary, but we have to warn you - the soundtrack makes this video more than NSFW (not safe for work). You have been warned.
By now, you can tell that the guy didn't exactly have an easy time navigating the SRT boat through the slippery NYC scenario. The man's greatest issue has to do with the traction, or lack thereof, provided by the Pirelli P Zero all-season tires the blown Charger came with.
Now, before you jump to conclusions, you should add the grain of salt that should accompany YouTube videos of this kind - when you're aiming for attention on the world wide web, some of your moves may be more exaggerated than others.
Still, you can tell the man has enough experience behind the wheel to play his part. And with the blown V8 doing the rest of the job, the resulting mix is mildly interesting.
While the Hellcat knows how to work around its weight in the dry and even in the wet, treating such a muscle machine with snow and ice has rather obvious consequences. However, this doesn't take away the fun of watching the SRT sedan fighting for grip.
