When you go out there and grab yourself a Hellcat, you basically sign a contract that comes with plenty of reasons to be hated. While these reasons are usually linked to people inside Z06 Corvettes or Vipers, the owner of the 707-pony Challenger in the image above (via Redditor Furd_Turguson) found a way to attract hate from fellow Hellcat owners.
As you all know, there are enough people who can't easily distinguish a Hellcat from a Challenger powered by a humble naturally aspirated 6.4-liter Hemi.
Well, the driver of the supercharged Challenger seen here wanted to ensure everybody knew his ride was more muscular than your average Mopar machine.
As a result, the guy cloned the Hellcat badge on the front fenders, with each of the Challenger's Pirelli P Zero tires now getting its own symbol of supercharged power.
Sure, the idea itself may not be that bad (think NASCAR), but the devil is in the details. For one thing, these tire badges are actually cardboard cutouts that have been glued to the rubber.
Then there's the man's need to also list the output of the car - his branding might even lead to confusion and we wouldn't want anybody believing the Challenger Hellcat delivers 707 hp at each wheel, would we?
As you can see in the image, the supercharger is off the car, so basically, we're not even looking at a proper Hellcat here.
On a more serious note, the Redditor mentioned above explains the Dodge paid a visit to the service due to "a bearing issue caused by the type of fuel he [the owner] was using."
Does that mean tuning is involved? We're not here to talk detonation, but such rumors will only get this owner in extra trouble with the Hellcat community. To be honest, this looks like one of those forum-tar-and-feather cases.
