Driving my son's Hellcat

2 months ago Jake bought a 2016 Hellcat Challenger. We call it the purple kitten. I drove it the 2 hours home. Played with it just a little. GOBS of power!

Damn this thing is sweet.....

That’s a nice ride and I bet you had fun behind the wheel! You son has good taste.

I’ve put over 350 miles on a regular Hellcat and 450 miles on a Hellcat Widebody around a couple of tracks and it was tough not wanting to be greedy with my right foot. There was one 90 degree left hand corner that required heaving breaking going into it and a long straight away coming out of it. It was so tempting to get my foot into it too early exiting the corner which resulted in many smoke shows in second gear (it was a manual). Playing with the traction control and suspension settings was interesting, especially in track mode. Right rear tire suffered a failure at the end of one of the days.
