Yes, the Dodge Challenger is a mean looking muscle-sports car that will always get you noticed, and yes, giving it 707 horsepower and calling it something evil-sounding like Hellcat will double its cool factor instantly. Still, you’ll to battle with physics.
Even with the latest advances in tire tech, suspension and traction control systems, it’s easily slower than a well sorted hot hatch around a track, if said track is soaking wet. Matt Farah drove one around the Portland Raceway on a horribly rainy day, and in his own words, in those conditions “it’s pretty worthless.”
Sure, the electronics do save you from leaving a Challenger grille-shaped dent in the nearest guard rail, but they won’t make it go any faster; see what happens in the Drive video posted below.
