<h1>Is the 2020 Dodge Battery Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody Boring, or Am I Simply Dumb?</h1>
With the spooky period upon us as well as Halloween right around the corner, it's time for a terrifying tale: that time a 707-horsepower, rear-wheel-drive sedan made me feel ... tired. That's right. The 2020 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Widebody, in the new Hellraisin paint shade, left me feeling decidedly "meh." And it could happen to you! (But probably not.).

The likeliest description for this unbelievably zesty take is that I'm jaded, as well as having regular accessibility to numerous different new cars and trucks considerably lessens the enjoyment a Charger Hellcat-- even the new Widebody variation-- can supply.


2014 ram 2500 grille Yet it feels like there's more to it, so let me make my case. By making it a widebody, Dodge could lastly offer the Battery charger Hellcat properly broad tires-- in this case, foot-wide Pirellis-- eliminating among the white-knuckled aspects of driving a Hellcat: constantly getting on edge when you squeeze the accelerator, particularly if the cars and truck isn't pointed 100% straight, because the tail truly intends to slide out. That's amazing, and also it seemed like an accomplishment to return from a drive with no mishaps. It does not feel like a 700-plus horsepower automobile should ever before appear manageable, yet Widebody versions of both the Charger and Challenger Hellcat fall under that camp.

Contribute to this that I live within Chicago's city restrictions, a lot of my driving was constrained to city roads where it's tough to get one of the most out of that power. Also highway problems can't maximize its power, making every journey feel like a waste of gas. Which the Battery charger Hellcat beverages like a frat promise. It just really felt ... pointless. You genuinely require to take a Hellcat to a drag strip to experience the accomplishment of engineering it is.

Was it simply me? I asked my colleagues to opine on whether it was monotonous, particularly after one shared that he had both a Battery Charger Hellcat Widebody and also a new Ford Transit van in his driveway one weekend break and selected the Transit for his regional Cars and also Coffee meetup. So right here's a point-counterpoint based on what they needed to state.

Point: The Battery Charger Hellcat Isn't as Exciting as It Made use of to Be.
The majority of remarks concentrated on the appearance of the Hellcat variants and how Dodge, by adding widebody versions to multiple model variants, has eroded a lot of the Hellcat's individuality. (Having actually simply driven an Opposition Scat Load Widebody before the Battery charger, I can validate that I was commonly asked if I was driving a Hellcat-- normally ideal prior to somebody attempted to race me at a traffic light.).

" I think Dodge really diluted the Hellcat's specialness when it introduced the same styling adjustments for the non-Hellcat designs. Currently, it's nearly impossible to tell if a Charger/Challenger is a Hellcat or otherwise; also the badges aren't a good free gift any longer.

" I believe Dodge needs to bring back some aesthetic panache to the Hellcats to make them clearly various somehow-- and that does not mean huge, silly graphics. Something special and quickly recognizing to divide your 700-plus-hp car or sports car from the lower versions that use the very same widebody alternatives.".

-- Aaron Bragman, Detroit bureau principal.

" To me, part of what's dimmed the allure of a Charger or Opposition-- in spite of silly horsepower numbers, method Mopar little bits and ludicrous paint names suitable for an Arena Football Organization group-- is a dilution of the trim levels. Dodge's current announcement that it will increase the Opposition Widebody schedule alone to 6 variants of the coupe is a good example. Probably the most special aesthetic component for a Hellcat when it initially rolled out in 2018, the Widebody variation currently really feels simply pedestrian.

" One evident option is to clear up the Charger as well as Challenger schedules. Surely a few of the reduced trims (SXT, GT, R/T, R/T Scat Load) can afford to go, as well as the possibility of an R/T Widebody of any type of kind. Trim-specific grilles, added brightwork and some differing aero work for the looter-- gaudy though they might appear-- could also help differentiate trims on the higher end and offer another visual element.".

-- Patrick Masterson, elderly duplicate editor.

Counterpoint: You're an Idiot, Brian.

A lot of these remarks pleasantly informed me that I'm dumb.

" I entirely obtain that they're coming to be a much more usual and also less distinct sight on the roadway, yet I'm definitely not in the 'Hellcats are tiring to drive' camp. Anything that can crack off a 10-second pass in stock type with a drag radial will certainly make most people crap their pants. What could be mistaken for 'monotonous' is exactly how flexible and also simple to drive they are, with terrific street manners and also a lengthy wheelbase that makes it more workable to get the tail end a little squirrely. That's an and also. The Widebody autos are even more secure with their additional grip. Driving a narrow-tire Hellcat on a basic street tire, and also with manual transmission, continues to be super questionable.".

-- Joe Bruzek, taking care of editor.

" This illustrates the bubble automobile enthusiasts-- and also the automotive media-- stay in. We see enough Hellcat variations of the Battery charger and also Opposition around here, particularly as Dodge moms and dad Fiat Chrysler Cars generated also higher-performance variations of both autos and spread out the engine to its SUVs. However the 'regular' Hellcats remain monsters. 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% larger rear tires. Also five years later, that's quick enough to smoke the huge majority of new, manufacturing facility efficiency automobiles.".

- Kelsey Mays, senior editor, customer affairs & automobile evaluations.

" I such as the reality that having 700-plus hp isn't really daunting. I assume Dodge did an outstanding task in making it civilized.".

-- Aaron Bragman.
