Today we are going to go in-depth on the story of why the Dodge Hellcats were created, and also the engineering and some decisions as to why the engine turned out how it did and why some of the parts were used. This includes the idea behind the car, what SRT was trying to achieve, creating the name and logo, and development of the engine.

Makes me wonder at the service life of the hellcat engine. Most of the time the owner wrecks the car before 100k on the odometer. I’ve seen a 6.4 hemi make it to 236k

Yeah that’s a good question. Based on what they are saying and the development of these engines, I don’t see why they wouldn’t last a long time just like a 6.4 or 5.7. They have heavier duty parts/internals too

I know someone who made it to70k no problem drifting and mods, only blew up because at 1xxx rwhp on a drag tune, the stock internals could not handle drifts, I bet if u kept it stock it would last 150xxx+

Highest one I’ve seen was a 2016 model with 120k it looked like new at least to my knowledge ran perfectly had two inches of rubber buildup on the rear fenders so it was getting used. Also so satisfying to clean that off

The fellas at my local roadcourse in Tx said SRT tested the Hellcat for cooling… running flat out for 20 minutes at a time on track. SRT brought in a few ZL1s… which were puking guts on track while the Dodges were still trucking. 😂

I would love to see a video showing the ranking of the horsepower output of the different SRT engines. I have the 6.1 Hemi but as the different engines are configured it might be 9th down on the list. Wish I had held off a couple of years to get a 6.4. My list would be viper, 2 different Demon’s, 4 different Hellcats, and the 6.4. Love the videos and can’t wait for Chrysler’s at Carlisle next month.

I wish Dodge kept the 6.1l Hemi in the lineup along with the rest of the engines it could’ve been placed right between the 5.7l and the 6.4l Hemi. They could’ve kept the 6.1l N/A and attached that HP90 A8 transmission it would’ve been a great car in the line up because the 392 makes more HP and torq than a 6.1l the only thing keeping it back would be that 8 speed trans and they would be closer than you think I believe the 392 would still beat it stick for stock on average with hood drivers with bad drivers it could be a toss up. It would be perfect because I hate how GM and Ford have so many engines in their performance lineup and Dodge only has 3 and the top one is the only that gets love the rest get nothing but when it’s Dragpak time they always come back to the smallest engines

People hate on the hellcat and mention how built cars can easily outrun it but built cars don’t usually come with the longevity dodge ensures with hellcats. Built cars aren’t usually good daily drivers. Built cars require a lot of down town… while the hellcat is still on the road. Built cars don’t have factory warranties and are hard to fully ensure. This is coming from someone with a built car. Yes it costed less but being able to pull a hellcat off the lot probably feels just as good as firing up a build. I still want one although my mustang is faster 😂

@MarspeedCars
@MarspeedCars Жыл бұрын
At the end of the day it’s a 6.4 base build basically if you think about it that way. But the 6.4 internals can’t handle much boost (everything tends to break at 600+ HP) and definitely not 11.6psi of boost or to get to 700hp. So they essentially upgraded all the internals and then made the displacement less as thats better for supercharging
