<h1>Is the 2020 Dodge Battery Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody Boring, or Am I Simply Dumb?</h1>
With the spooky season upon us and Halloween right around the bend, it's time for a terrifying tale: that time a 707-horsepower, rear-wheel-drive sedan made me feel ... burnt out. That's right. The 2020 Dodge Battery Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody, in the brand-new Hellraisin paint shade, left me really feeling decidedly "meh." And also it can occur to you! (However probably not.).

The likeliest explanation for this incredibly spicy take is that I'm jaded, as well as having routine accessibility to many various brand-new vehicles substantially diminishes the excitement a Battery charger Hellcat-- also the new Widebody version-- can provide.

Yet it seems like there's even more to it, so let me make my instance. By making it a widebody, Dodge might lastly give the Battery charger Hellcat suitably large tires-- in this case, foot-wide Pirellis-- getting rid of one of the white-knuckled elements of driving a Hellcat: constantly getting on edge when you press the accelerator, especially if the automobile isn't sharp 100% directly, due to the fact that the tail really wants to move out. 2015 charger rear spoiler That's amazing, as well as it felt like an accomplishment to return from a drive without mishaps. It does not seem like a 700-plus horse power auto should ever appear convenient, but Widebody versions of both the Charger as well as Challenger Hellcat fall into that camp.

Include in this that I live within Chicago's city limitations, a lot of my driving was confined to city roads where it's tough to get one of the most out of that power. Also freeway conditions can not make the most of its power, making every trip feel like a waste of gas. Which the Charger Hellcat beverages like a frat pledge. It just really felt ... pointless. You really need to take a Hellcat to a drag strip to experience the accomplishment of design it is.

Was it just me? I asked my colleagues to suggest on whether it was uninteresting, especially after one shared that he had both a Battery Charger Hellcat Widebody as well as a new Ford Transportation van in his driveway one weekend and selected the Transportation for his local Cars and trucks and also Coffee meetup. So below's a point-counterpoint based on what they had to state.

Factor: The Charger Hellcat Isn't as Amazing as It Made use of to Be.
Many comments focused on the appearance of the Hellcat variants and also how Dodge, by adding widebody variations to numerous version variations, has actually deteriorated a great deal of the Hellcat's originality. (Having simply driven a Challenger Scat Load Widebody before the Battery charger, I can confirm that I was commonly asked if I was driving a Hellcat-- generally right before someone tried to race me at a stoplight.).

" I think Dodge truly thinned down the Hellcat's specialness when it introduced the exact same designing changes for the non-Hellcat designs. Now, it's virtually difficult to inform if a Charger/Challenger is a Hellcat or otherwise; even the badges aren't a great free gift anymore.

" I think Dodge requires to restore some aesthetic style to the Hellcats to make them undoubtedly different in some way-- which does not indicate big, silly graphics. Something unique and also quickly recognizing to separate your 700-plus-hp sedan or sports car from the lower versions that use the very same widebody choices.".

-- Aaron Bragman, Detroit bureau principal.

" To me, part of what's lowered the attraction of a Charger or Opposition-- despite absurd horse power numbers, trick Mopar little bits as well as outrageous paint names fit for a Sector Football Organization team-- is a dilution of the trim degrees. Dodge's recent announcement that it will increase the Challenger Widebody schedule alone to six variations of the coupe is an example. Perhaps one of the most special aesthetic component for a Hellcat when it first rolled out in 2018, the Widebody variant now feels merely pedestrian.

" One evident remedy is to clear up the Battery charger and also Opposition schedules. Undoubtedly a few of the reduced trims (SXT, GT, R/T, R/T Scat Load) can manage to go, in addition to the opportunity of an R/T Widebody of any kind. Trim-specific grilles, extra brightwork and also some varying aero work for the spoiler-- tasteless though they may appear-- can also aid distinguish trims on the higher end as well as offer another visual aspect.".

-- Patrick Masterson, elderly duplicate editor.

Counterpoint: You're an Idiot, Brian.

A lot of these remarks politely told me that I'm stupid.

" I absolutely get that they're becoming a much more common and also much less one-of-a-kind sight on the road, yet I'm most definitely not in the 'Hellcats are tiring to drive' camp. Anything that can crack off a 10-second come on supply form with a drag radial will certainly make most individuals crap their pants. What could be mistaken for 'uninteresting' is just how forgiving as well as simple to drive they are, with excellent road good manners and also a lengthy wheelbase that makes it more convenient to get the tail end a little squirrely. That's a plus. The Widebody vehicles are even more steady with their extra grasp. Driving a narrow-tire Hellcat on a typical road tire, as well as with manual transmission, continues to be extremely questionable.".

-- Joe Bruzek, managing editor.

" This shows the bubble auto enthusiasts-- and also the automobile media-- stay in. We see sufficient Hellcat variations of the Battery charger as well as Challenger around right here, especially as Dodge parent Fiat Chrysler Cars spawned also higher-performance variations of both vehicles and spread the engine to its SUVs. However the 'normal' Hellcats continue to be beasts. We ran the quarter-mile in 11.03 secs with a Battery charger SRT Hellcat in 2015, and that was before Dodge included the Widebody variation with 16% wider back tires. Even 5 years later, that's quick enough to smoke the substantial majority of new, factory efficiency autos.".


- Kelsey Mays, senior editor, consumer affairs & car assessments.

" I such as the fact that having 700-plus hp isn't actually intimidating. I believe Dodge did an incredible job in making it civilized.".

-- Aaron Bragman.
