There’s the new 2020 Shelby Mustang too.

I thought they make one with more horsepower and top end than that.

Link doesn't work.

the Demon is capable of 840 HP... the Hellcat Redeye is 797 HP... base Hellcat is 717 this year.

Corvettes with lower and higher horsepower destroy the bloated boat known as the Challenger and Charger (all levels)

Handles like shit too.

Cool, as long as you don't consider it a sports car. Its not at all.

as a big time mustang fan - sad to see the Cobra not offered in a 6 speed manual and no convertible. i have opted for a Saleen and Roush over the cobra both times due to better styling/appeal/boy racer vibes

I can find other ways to spend 65k

It would be cool but you'd have to drive around at the speed limit or get tickets up the wazoo.

You could take it to your local dragstrip though. Would be fun.

Pics!? I had a 2000 mustang GT in high school with bolt-ons, but it was still slow as hell. Back then, it only had 240 hp. It’s pitiful that my Sierra Denali 6.2L could beat it 0-60 and in the 1/4. My dream car in the long-term is a Shelby Cobra 427 replica

Will be cool to buy one of these for 20k in 5 years. I love buying a garaged 5-10 year old toy with 30k miles on it for a 1/3 of new price. I'll never take that new car beating again.

The 2020 Mustang Shelby GT500 can cost up to $100K with taxes and the track package. That's a lot for a Ford. And you're going to need a daily driver.

In my experiance anything Chrysler is just junk most definitely the poorest build quality of any domestic manufacturer. This charger post goes fast is a straight line....amazing

Dodge fucked the original hellcat owners. It was supposed to be a limited run. People paid insane after market prices for them. The. They decided to release a second limited run and same thing happened and now they just diluted the shit out of the market.

SOMEPARTS · « **Reply #16 on:** June 29, 2019, 02:55:04 PM »

Nothing factory made is "rare" and no company would pass up the opportunity to sell cars of this price over and over. They're making a killing and then the dealers are marking them up over sticker.

Someday they'll slap the Hellcat name on a new Neon or Omni and people will pay too much for those as well.

Got one on order. It's gonna replace my family sedan.

That’s a Great looking Car - Out of my grasp sadly

Ive got the 2018 Challenger 392 TA. A "mere" 485 HP. Love the car. Yes, its big and heavy, yes, a corvette or 5.0 Mustang would beat it on a road track.. I don't care.. it's comfortable, looks bad ass and is quick enough for me. I think the Demon and Hellcat would be overkill for how I drive my car.

Impressive HP, ancient chassis, overweight. Far from industry leading fit & finish.

6.2L Camaro or 5.0L Mustang both closer to “sports car” with impressive handling and more current chassis technology . Significantly less $. Bragging rights go to Mopar. GT350 seriously superior driver’s car for less $. I don’t even like Ford, but their platform is better.

Challenger and Charger both one-trick pony straight line cars. Comic book styling is tired to my eyes.

Not really a car guy, but what about the viper? I think I remember seeing that those retail around 85k and probably performs a lot better in the handling department.

Agreed. Same way they put SRT styling on low end models. But it’s all about money so can’t blame them.
