With that kind of power comes knowing and respecting it's limitations. In the end, it's a 700 horsepower car, rear wheel drive, skinny tires and 4600 pounds. If you don't understand how all that translates to driving in the real world, this will happen.

Most cars with this much power have more traction however, either being equipped with all wheel drive, wider tires and less weight, making it easier to manage. My first concern when Dodge came out with this was peole just getting into them and hitting the throttle and ending up in a tree. Hopefully whoever was involved in the accident is okay and learned their lesson.

Yea. The massive intercooler, wheels, and the hood give it away

This car was wrecked in December about an hour after it left the lot. This was very much a case of too much power in the wrong hands...

Presenting the first wrecked Dodge Challenger Hellcat

Quote:
The 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat driver, 34-year-old Lance Utley of Winter Park, CO, was traveling northbound on Riverdale Rd. The driver lost control to the right, then overcorrected and lost control to the left, and struck a tree head on. There were two additional occupants in the vehicle. The driver was charged with careless driving. Drugs or alcohol were not involved. There was no mention of excessive speeding. All three occupants were unhurt.

I snuck into the salvage yard and took the badges. Now I have a HellCamaro.

Parts is parts. The more wrecked hellcats the better price on drivetrain parts for older challengers
