Dodge Challenger Hellcat Drag Races Supercharged 300C, Don't Trust the Result

In the green corner, we have a Dodge Challenger Hellcat, the 1,320 feet car of the moment. While this SRT machine's tech side is probably stock, we can't say the same about its appearance.

This demonic kitty is fitted with fat wheel arches that resemble a Liberty Walk kit, packs a front diffuser that wouldn't be out of place at Pikes Peak and is lowered on custom wheels.

In the yellow corner sits a Chrysler 300C that has gone down the supercharging route. Packing a Whipple blower, this Chrysler makes us lust for the US market return of the car's SRT version even more - we'll remind you the 2016 Chrysler 300 SRT does exist, but outside America.

The two engage in a half-mile race, one that will keep you on your toes. We're not here to talk about the close MPH call at the end of the battle - both vehicles got close to hitting 150 mph (that's 241.5 km/h for all you drag racing fans reading this on the other side of the pond).

Instead, we want to discuss the lack of relevance we associate with the result of the race. Regardless of which car takes the lead, the Hellcat remains superior.

You see, people have been supercharging Hemis for years and we've even given you a blown 5.7-liter Hemi vs. Hellcat comparo recently. However, the greatest achievement of the factory supercharged 6.2-liter V8 is not its output alone, but the fact that this comes in a package that includes a warranty and was engineered to deliver its numbers all day and all night, without the driver having to worry about something called reliability.
