do you mean your work truck being a FCA product ?

i don't know anything about FCA quality but I always hear Jeep Grand Cherokee are higher quality than other dodge products?

Yes sir...
then again, it's not like it's a Platinum or something, so I'm sure the fit and finish is very basic for a work truck.

If you end up with the hellcat...first thing you better do is get some wider, stickier rubber on it or you might feel like youre driving in the rain even when it dry out!

I still dont understand their logic behind putting a 700hp car with 275 rear tires. MPG?

A lot of theories, but the most common one is so people don't break driveline parts as easy. Spinning 275s is much easier on the driveline than hooking hard with wider tires.

But isn't better to beef up the driveline for a 700hp car and equip the car with the proper tire, even just for safety reasons.

But yah we will never know.

except you can now get a hellcat Widebody from the factory. Using the Demons widebody kit. Only for the challenger though.

the driveline in that car is beefed. Not as much as the demon...but yeah. It’s not Honda making shit
“just strong enough” to handle what they do.

How can you tell the diff between a 4 door Hellcat and the 392 models?

Reason I ask, one of my neighbors picked up a white, looks like a hellcat. But I can't tell. It looks exactly like your car, but it has small badges on the grille and rear. The small hellcat badge. I am trying to figure out (without talking to them), if its a real hellcat or not.

Yeah , I looked. No fender badges on either side. Only hellcat on front grille and all the back right lower trunk. I will try to get a picture of the car today.

The hood is different, and as J mentioned, the front fender is supposed to have a hellcat badge on it.

The hellcat hood has 3 vents, as opposed to the Scat Pack's one.

It's a fake, likely. the front should just say SRT, not actually hellcat. The rear is the same.

That is what I thought. No SRT anywhere. Its a brand new car. But it has the hellcat animal symbol.

easiest way to find out if it's a fake is look the owner up and see if he ever had a base TL with a type S badge.
