Hellcat, rumor is today they show a new HP increase
I read one of the Mopar forums that today Dodge will release info that the HC for 2019 will be 797HP. Supposedly the announcement is at 11:30. Not sure it is standard HC or a special edition though.

They better put a tire under this model and not the 275s.

I'm guessing that the release of information on the new GT500 is coming very soon, Dodge is trying to steal it's Thunder.

There is no stealing the Thunder from the GT500 though, the most anticipated vehicle release in a LONG time.

I'm not a Mopar guy, but I'm in a local muscle car group that has quite a few. Always interesting to see what they are up to.

The standard HC with widebody package is supposed to be at 725 or so I was led to believe. 797 tho would be incredible because we know the GT500 is over 700. So the GT500 would have to be close. Now here's the thing. Hellcat come fully optioned with everything you can imagine. And they come in at high $60Ks. And I'm pretty certain that the Dodge faithful have learned their lessons on paying markups. So if the HC is really going to have 797 HP, and if the GT500 is going to be competitive, then it will need to come in at the same price range, have full options (none of this if you choose the tech package then you can't have this or that with it dumbass nonsense), and be free of markups.

Ford is in a tough spot. Do they target Dodge in acceleration (good luck), or take on the ZL1 in handling (1LE all but ensured that won't happen) - or be quicker than the Camaro with less handling, but slower than Dodge (maybe they will try to be quicker than the HC's, but the new power increase announcement puts that goal further out of reach as well)... Time will tell, but I'm not anticipating the GT500 as much as I am curious as to where they focus the performance of it.

No power change for the Charger, would be surprised if they made the Challenger more powerful. |

"New for 2019, the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye is possessed by the Demon. Its 797-horsepower supercharged HEMI® high-output engine makes it the most powerful, quickest and fastest muscle car reaching 0-60 miles per hour (mph) in 3.4 seconds and the fastest GT production car with a ¼ mile elapsed time (ET) of 10.8 seconds at 131 mph. It also reaches a new top speed of 203 mph. Joining the Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye is the 2019 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat with its more powerful 717-horsepower engine, as well as the Challenger R/T Scat Pack Widebody, which features fender flares from the SRT Hellcat Widebody and adds 3.5 inches of width to Scat Pack’s footprint. The 2019 Dodge Durango SRT, America’s fastest, most powerful and most capable three-row SUV with a best-in-class tow rating of 8,700 lbs. fills out the brands’ performance lineup. These visceral performance models join a 2019 brand lineup that includes the Durango, Grand Caravan, Journey, Charger and Challenger—a showroom that offers performance at every price point." |

Based on this statement from FCA it looks like the Charger will stay at 707 while the Challenger will get a bump to 717 all the way up to 797.
"New for 2019, Dodge is repositioning the Charger lineup into six distinct, attitude-infused models that offer a range of performance and powertrain options for every modern muscle-car customer. The lineup ranges from the 707-horsepower Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat – the quickest, fastest and most powerful sedan in the world – to the efficient V-6 power of the new Charger GT RWD performance model and the all-wheel-drive capability of the new SXT AWD model." |
