Hellcat Vs. Hellcat: Tires Shredded, Faces Melted, Internet Broken

Hellcat, Hellcat, Hellcat. Watch the Internets long enough and you might think the Dodge muscle car was the only news this year.

Here at Motor Authority, we've done more than our fair share of flogging the Hellcat, on the streets and in our headlines.

But there's one question we haven't answered just yet.

What happens when you have TWO Hellcats?

On one hand, we have the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. On the other, we have the Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat.

Combined, we're talking about 1,414 horsepower, and a combined top speed of more than 400 miles per hour.

Now, normally, we wouldn't care which Hellcat we drove. But apparently you do. Hundreds of YouTube comments later, it's pretty clear that you want to know--which one's better?

Only one way to find out--let's roll.

Quick drive--a very quick drive

Let’s get to the heart of things. With either Hellcat, there's a real demon under the hood.

The Hellcat's supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 drills out at least 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, no matter whether you take the Charger or the Challenger.

What's that you said? Camaro what? Mustang who? Oh, right, they're nowhere near that.

Nope, the Hellcat is the original beast mode, with 0-60 times coming in at about 3.5 seconds for the two-door, 3.7 seconds for the four-door. Top speed? Dodge says 199 mph for the Challenger, 204 mph for the Charger. Just like styling, it all comes down to priorities.

All that power gets dumped to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic. Do you give a shift? You can only give it in the Challenger--it has a six-speed manual on the order sheet, the Charger doesn't. Those points go to the two-door.

In either Hellcat, the soundtrack is pure, vintage whine------supercharger whine.

It's always there. It's always there.
