Vehicle Description
2016 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat
"If you tickle the throttle just right, the Hellcat delivers
seriously heroic acceleration, much quicker than can be achieved
with its built in launch-control feature. Zero to 60 mph happens in
3.6 seconds, 100 mph comes up in 7.8 seconds, and the quarter mile
is covered in 11.7 seconds at 126 mph, with the car's massive
supercharger whining like a hive of angry bees the entire time.
While the horsepower may leave the impression that Dodge has
created a one trick pony car, all about epic straight line pulls,
the two door proves to be a decent partner on winding roads, so
long as you keep the pace a few notches below full out." Car and
Driver's test of a 2016 Hellcat, Sept. 2016
For consignment, a 2016 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat with a title
verified 1,823 actual miles. This is a one owner car in legendary
Plum Crazy, packing what is also legendary, 707 horsepower. Other
variants of the Hellcat came later, but this is the OG, the king of
the hill, we present to you one that is practically brand new.
Exterior
Iconic design cues from the 70's lend themselves to this bigger
bodied version which retains the mean stare which is now augmented
by enormous upper and lower intakes, also known as grilles on mere
mortal cars. The headlight scoop takes on incoming air and the hood
scoop captures any that pass over the nose. Heat extractors on a
matte black hood keep things coolish. Black is a great companion to
the Plum Crazy Pearl Coat and included on the 20-inch wheels
carrying 275/40ZR20's right from the assembly plant. The gas cap,
rear wing, rear valance, latch panel trim, and front air dam, all
sinister black. We've got a sunroof up above and a cool, shark fin
antenna. This low mileage dream is not without some minor
imperfections including a chin scrape, a chip in the paint, a small
ding, and a scuff on the bumper cover.
Interior
Smooth black door panels combine plastic with Alcantara inserts,
leather armrests with white stitching and some storage space below
including a cupholder. White stitching also appears on the robust
bucket seats in perforated black leather and both front seats are
immaculate. Rear 2+2 seating provides some side support on a
smaller scale and has a convenient, pull down armrest with a
cupholder, but we might recommend holding that drink in your hand
for the ride. Fantastically ergonomic, the racy steering wheel is
replete with thumb controls and leads to a red backed gauge cluster
with a center digital screen. A larger screen occupies the center
stack showing the status of your AM/FM/CD radio with navigation,
Bluetooth, U-Connect, and XM capabilities along with the broadcast
from the rear camera. Program buttons and volume controls are below
that along with the A/C panel, all framed in a carbon fiber like
finish. The shifter is nicely designed with a polished shaft and
leather wrapped ball on top and a leather boot, then the console
sweeps back and provides cupholders and storage. Low pile black
carpet covers the floor, a charcoal, foam backed headliner is
above, and the trunk is cleanly finished with gray cloth
panels.
Drivetrain
Perhaps one of the most written about engines in modern automotive
journalism, here we have the 6.2 liter supercharged Hemi V8 putting
out 707 horsepower and mated to a Tremec TR6060 6-speed manual
transmission that routes power the rear wheels with 3.70 gears and
limited slip. Naturally, power disc brakes at all four wheels and
Brembos are called into action. The waffle topped supercharger in
the bay is well known by now and the rest of the components fit
like puzzle pieces with very little room to spare.
Undercarriage
It has less than 2,000 miles so we expected nothing short of a
spotless underside and indeed, that's what we found. This example
has a Borla cat back system but purists can relax because the
original exhaust comes with the car. Suspension consists of
Macpherson struts up front and a multilink with coil springs on the
independent rear suspension.
Drive-AbilityYou're enveloped by the seats and there is a cocoon
factor that feels safe, supportive, and accommodating. Press the
start button and unleash unholy goodness from the Hemi and the
interior becomes the control center for a rocket ship, one we
feather around the test loop because we understand the potential
here. The car does everything well, especially straight lines, and
does so with all the modernity a company could serve up in 2016.
There's nothing that doesn't work on the purple monster, and we
coast her back to the mall to take up a spot under the lights.
While Classic Auto Mall represents that these functions were

functions will be working at the time of your purchase.
When Bruce introduces the E Street band, he could just as well be
talking about the Hellcat. Earth quakin', heart breakin', booty
shakin', history makin'...S...R...T! Vintage muscle cars are
legendary, and no one thought it could be done again, but Dodge
pulled a rabbit out the hat and created one that will be revered
for a long time as the original, and they gave it a memorable name.
Are you ready for this fire breathing feline.
