What do you do when your four-door is powered by a supercharged V8 rated at 707 horsepower by the lunatics at Dodge? You go Stage 3, obviously.

Higher boost, bigger injectors, a cold air intake, a louder exhaust, shorter gears and fatter rear tires. That's what a Charger Hellcat needs to send 740 horses and an equal amount of torque. . .to the rear wheels. The result is more of everything. Fear, noise, straight line speed, fuel down the drain and giggles per gallon.

What makes it even better is that the Charger has a better weight distribution than the two-door Challenger thanks to its longer wheelbase, meaning that it will be faster out of the corners and is more likely to stay on the road as long as you know when and how far to push the fun pedal. All the way is Stage 4.
