Not to be negative about it as it is a great power plant, but I am glad to see that an American car company is figuring out that FI is a viable option to make gobs of power. I don`t see it as game changing since back in the 90/00`s I owned a 2.0 liter car that made over 600 awhp (not 707 crank with a 6.2L).
So I don`t really see this as revolutionary in any facet I just see it as an American company figuring out how to make huge power numbers without trying to fit a 9.0L V16 or something stupid.

I just like how Ford, GM and Chrysler are putting out cars with huge horsepower. They don`t seem to be afraid of insurance companies any more. The `15 Mustang GT now comes standard with line lock.

I totally agree with you. Not trying to take anything away from the Hellcat, because I personally think all the new FI cars are badass. The Shelby GT500, Z28, Hellcat they are all awesome. But I think the true game changer for the domestic car industry was the `03/`04 Mustang Cobra`s. Msrp was around $33,000 and it came from the factory supercharged with 390hp. Change a pulley, tune, and bam your at 500rwhp. Change a blower and your at 700rwhp. And that`s for under $40,000! If it were only like that today. Now you have to have around $75,000 to play. Which is almost stupid.
Now for the imports if it weren`t for turbos the size of my head I don`t know where they would be . I don`t care what anybody says, AWD and 600awhp is very cool. I almost bought an old `95 AWD Talon once. It had about 350awhp and it would get up and go in a hurry.

it`s still a factory engine. I was comparing it to another engine that has been modified by the owner with parts other than oe. apples to oranges.
if Hennessey got it hands on it that would be a different story. (if they haven`t already) I do see what you mean though.

And for the price to rebuild my engine I could have done it 10 times before I paid for a hellcat with a warranty... Mmm warranty or not I`m just saying I don`t think it is revolutionary, a step in the right direction yes. And like previously stated I think it will be a fantastic car for all those who are willing to take that dive.

My biggest concern would be if the rest of the car was beefed up enough to handle that power. Suspension , cooling system and tranny especially.

Apparently it`s the second time this car has done this. Scroll down the page some: Driveshaft is the weak link! | SRT Hellcat Forum
