Yahoo Autos The Only Thing More Insane Than a Hellcat Is an 805-hp, Twin-Charged Hellcat
In stock form, the Dodge Challenger Hellcat's supercharged engine makes a tire-roasting 707 horsepower. But Dream Giveaway, a charity that raises money by raffling off cars, decided a stock Hellcat didn't have enough power. So before giving one away, the team added a twin-turbo setup to the already-supercharged engine. The end result was a twin-charged V8 sending 805 horsepower and 800 lb.-ft. of torque to the Challenger's rear wheels.
But before the winner got his car, Dream Giveaway took the so-called Challenger Hellcat X to the drag strip to see just how quick it really is. And, of course, to have a little fun.
Even fitted with drag radials, the Challenger X could still rip a burnout on a moment's notice. Once it got going, the car still managed to chirp its tires with every gear change. On the third pass, there's even a moment where you can see the tail get loose.
We only wish they'd recorded acceleration figures. With that much power on tap, we want to know exactly how quick this car is.
