Which Hellcat is the best?
Which Hellcat is the best? It all depends on who you ask. Because choosing from the many supercharged Jeep and Dodge Hellcats is not an easy task. While we can compare styling and spec sheets, the true test for Hellcat-powered vehicles is at the drag strip. Today, we can see a modified Dodge Challenger racing a modified Jeep Trackhawk in a battle for Hellcat supremacy.
The Dodge Challenger Hellcat was the beginning of the story in 2015. It produced 707 horsepower (527 Kilowatts), and 650 lb-ft (881 Newton meters) of torque, making it one the most powerful V8s ever built for a production car. The Dodge Challenger Hellcat was the king of muscle car horsepower, beating both the Ford Mustang GT500 (and Chevy Camaro ZL1).
The Dodge Challenger Hellcat was only the beginning of the Hellcat era. The Dodge Charger sedan was next to receive this V8 from Dodge. It made perfect sense. The story of what happened next is legendary. The Grand Cherokee Trackhawk was introduced by Jeep in 2018. It is a track-capable SUV that has the same 707 horsepower (527 Kilowatts V8) as the Dodge Hellcat twins.
Grand Cherokee Trackhawk’s unique advantage is its all-wheel drive system. This made it much more efficient than the Dodge rear-wheel-drive Hellcats. The Grand Cherokee Trackhawk quickly became a favorite dragster thanks to its incredible launches and repeatable runs.
Today, we will see if the all wheel-drive Grand Cherokee Trackhawk can defeat the Dodge Challenger Hellcat at a drag race. According to the times, neither vehicle has been modified so it’s open for all. This video is for those who like supercharged V8 sound effects.
