CLS63 AMGs have been there, done that for a few yrs now
and they are quite a bit more refined and comfortable than a Dodge
That HellCat looks a bit too "dodgy" for my tastes

In case people skimmed it, it's a one off that will be auctioned for charity.

Instead of just tuning the existing car, Dodge ADDED twin turbos. Seems needlessly complex.

Opps, yeah that was a typo on my part. My point still stands though. I guess it wasn't much of a shock factor to simply tune the existing car and swap pullies.

I guess this is called triple charging? (twin from the turbos and the third from the SC)

Stupid. They could have tuned the car, swapped pullies, added fueling and what, maybe 1000bhp?

And in the real world a regular Hellcat is likely going to loose to an SRT 392 if they meet up at a red light. Unless you had previously put some large tires on it. Barely anybody who was willing to cough up a 20K markup will know how to tame that power from a dig on stock tires.
