It’s almost hard to believe that nearly six years have passed since Dodge came out with the Challenger SRT Hellcat. Remember how it broke the Internet? A total of 707 hp squeezed out of a supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V8, 0-60 times of 3.6 seconds, and high 10-second 1/4 mile times – this car was generating clicks left and right.
In order to stand out from other Challengers, Hellcats came with a simpler front fascia design, featuring dual air extractors for the hood, an Air Catcher inlet port, a larger front splitter, Hellcat badges, and a taller trunk lid spoiler.
This particular one, for sale through Hemmings, is a 2015 model with 25,000 miles (40,000 km) on the clock. It also has a six-speed manual gearbox and considerably more power than it did when it first left the factory. The price, if you’re interested in buying it outright, is $59,900.
After investing in various performance mods such as a Metco 2.65 ratio upper pulley, Legmaker carbon fiber intake, 1300-cc injectors, custom exhaust, an ECU tune, plus a visit with Bailey’s Hyperformance, the seller ended up with an estimated 1,020 hp (1,034 PS) and 1,018 lb-ft (1,380 Nm) of torque at the crank, so roughly 887 rear wheel horsepower. Those are insane numbers, especially when you have that much torque and a manual gearbox – you're definitely burning rubber like crazy through the first two gears, regardless of which fob you’re using.
Thankfully, the car does come with a McCloud Racing clutch, which should be able to withstand up to 1,200 hp, while the DDS aluminum one-piece driveshaft is also rated for high-horsepower applications. The seller notes that only 8,000 miles (12,900 km) have been put on the upgraded racing clutch, which works alongside a Barton short-shifter.
Aside from the aftermarket black racing stripe, custom ‘claw-scrape’ decal over the driver side headlight surround, and the special ‘1020 hp’ badging, everything else looks stock.
Nothing left to do now but to listen to that supercharger howl below. Enjoy!
