Dodge boss Tim Kuniskis announced last week that there will be a big performance reveal that we expect will be the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat at the 2014 Woodward Dream Cruise, but while the car might debut to the public on Saturday August 16th, it seems as though the media will get its first look a few days before the massive Detroit cruise day.

At the recent Dodge Challenger launch, SRT powertrain boss Chris Cowland was asked about the possibilities of seeing the new Hellcat Hemi under the hood of the Dodge Viper and while he was quick to point out that the blown Hemi won’t fit in this Viper – we have to wonder if there isn’t something spicy coming with the promised 2015 refresh of the Mopar supercar.

Since we learned that the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would have 707 horsepower from a new supercharged Hemi, the critics have demanded to know the weight and not surprisingly, the Hellcat Challenger is pretty heavy with a curb weight of 4,439lbs – but that weight is hardly noticeable whether you are blasting down the quarter mile or rocketing around a road course.

Yesterday we talked about how dealerships were charging $10-20k over MSRP for the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and today we bring you all a man who can get you a 707 horsepower Mopar muscle car at the factory MSRP – Bob Frederick…”The Challenger Guy”.

Thanks to the same collection of information that revealed that there will be a Hellcat powered Dodge Charger, we have learned that the 2015 Dodge Viper SRT will come with 5 extra horsepower in the new model year – bringing the total output up to 645 horsepower.

We reported a few weeks back that the Chrysler Group had opened the order bank for the 2015 Dodge Challenger – with the exception of the 707hp SRT Hellcat models – but some new information suggests that the Hellcat Challenger will hit the order banks on August 6th and today we take a closer look at option pricing for the most powerful American production car ever.

I have been speculating for months how a Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat could arrive as the most powerful sport sedan in the world and thanks to the folks at Road & Track, there is very strong proof that the 707hp supercharged Hemi is on its way into the Charger’s engine bay – and it could happen for the 2015 model year.

This past weekend I had the extreme privilege of flying to Portland Oregon to spend some time with the 2015 Dodge Challenger lineup and while we had an opportunity to drive all of the new models, all of my attention was on the new Challenger SRT Hellcat. With 707 horsepower, this is the most powerful American production car of all time and the 6th most powerful in the global production performance car market so while the chance to drive the entire lineup was on hand – for me it was all about the Hellcat.

Today I bring you a great on-car look at the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat in action on a quarter mile drag strip and on a 2 mile road course at the recent media launch – with yours truly piloting the 707 horsepower monster muscle car in all of these new videos.

While everyone (including me) was busy focusing on the incredibly low price of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, many failed to look at the pricing for the rest of the 2015 Challenger lineup – with pricing for the other V8 models that make them great bargain buyers relative to the competition.

The Chrysler Group has announced the pricing for the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and amazingly, this 707hp monster is actually less expensive than I had expected with a price of $59,995 – putting it in the range of the midlevel Chevrolet Corvette Stingray 2LT with 455 horsepower.

The Chrysler Group rolled out another video showing off their new 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and this newest video is by far the best yet with our first look at a full quarter mile run – with the 707hp Challenger turning a stunning 10 second quarter mile time.

Now that we know that the new 6.2L Hellcat Hemi will provide 2015 Dodge Challenger owners with 707 horsepower and 650lb-ft of torque, offering even a watered down version of the Hellcat in the Dodge Charger SRT will make it the most powerful sport sedan in the world – comfortably overpowering anything from the European automakers.

When the Chrysler Group announced last week that the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would pack an incredible 707 horsepower along with a beefier 8-speed automatic transmission, some were concerned that there wouldn’t be a manual transmission for the Hellcat – but I am happy to report that the most powerful American production car ever will indeed have a manual transmission option.
