The Dodge Challenger Hellcat Black Ghost is 807 HP of Closure (POV Drive Review)

[@rmerrida]

"Here, lets go into Eco Mode and gimp it down to FIVE HUNDRED HORSEPOWER!" 😳Remember when 500 horsepower commanded respect? Now it's Eco Mode. 🤣

[@miseryparty3726]

500hp still commands respect. That’s plenty fast.

[@perz400]

Is mpg slightly better on Eco mode?

[@JoeDeezy]

@@perz400 depends on how you drive it but yes it could be a lot better going from 807 down to 500 and driving lightly

[@BlackyLee88]

​@@perz400 I would say yes, and the Challenger also has a cylinder deactivation. As long as you do not call up any power you are partly with a 4 cylinder on the road. Of course, such a large displacement always has a high basic consumption, but this can be pushed down a lot thanks to modern technology and a relaxed Foot

16:58 those all season tires are whats really killing the time. Not sure why dodge thinks all seasons and 800 horsepower go together

Better tires are a must, I agree

[@thearousedeunuch]

Dodge knows that you'll be doing burnouts with those as soon as you leave the dealership, and that you'll have to buy new tires soon anyway. :)

[@JussDraftfr]

cause its still a street car?

[@deboiidaaaoo]

You can get summer tires for an additional $695 from factory

[@christophershutts3873]

The upgrade is pretty reasonable price wise from Dodge. They should not have built this special edition with all seasons, as they offer a better tire from the factory.

[@superchargedsteve3411]

To answer your question does the Black Ghost belong in the last call lineup? ABSOLUTELY!!! This car was a Detroit street racing legend and as far as I know, undefeated and the original car still runs well and all original.

This would be the one I would buy if I could afford one! Meanwhile, I love my 2022 R/T Blacktop for a daily driver.

[@whatsupwithsteve]

I guess some people like this but IMO I think a more "balanced" ride is more fun on the street. My c6z06 with 505hp was just about as perfect as I've driven. Well maybe my 350z or '05 Mustang (after installing an Eibach suspension). The problem with all that power is the constant throttle modulation as you attempt to keep traction. But hey, drive what you think is the most fun for you!!

[@rekt_n_line]

I rented a Charger Scat Pack WB on vacation last year. It was an absolute blast to drive. My goal is to try and rent a Hellcat this year. However, if I had to chose between a Scat Pack and Hellcat for myself, I'd choose the Scat. The Hellcat has outrageous power that is no doubt fun, but I feel like the Scat Pack was the perfect amount of power for the street. I was able to keep it in Track mode and I always felt in control of the car. I could break it loose if I wanted, but it wasn't losing traction at speed like in this video lol. And it was still plenty fast. Best case scenario would be a Scat Pack daily and a Hellcat for the weekend!

I don’t see how you can compare this to a gt500. Hellcats are pretty much meant to do one thing: go fast in a straight line. The gt500 is BOTH fast in a straight line and can hold its own in the corners.

They compete in the same two-door muscle car segment. There's always differentiation in a segment, otherwise everyone would sell the same car, just in a different color.

Where there's a will there's a way! I was driving my stock 1995 Geo Metro the other day and I ran up against one of these Black Ghost Challengers and he took off fast and so did I.

You have to learn how to launch these cars. They are not easy and it takes a lot of practice. Launch control is not the way to extract the best times. I can consistently do 0-60 in 3.6-3.7 in my 21 Hellcat and 3.3-3.4 in my 21 Redeye on stock tires and on unprepped, but clean surfaces and all documented. This has taken time to master, but it can be done, especially after owning 4 of these cars. So 4.5 to 60 is probably correct for someone who has no idea how or the experience, to properly launch the challenger.

As far as lap times are concerned, the GT500 will certainly be faster, straight ahead is something completely different.

I wouldn't care about the lap times and performance, the looks, the sound and the feeling when you are pressed into the seat by the vilene torque, that would already be fun enough for me

So one day he decided he would do donuts in the parking lot, almost hit the superintendent police called dad took the car away and he had to walk the rest of the time until he graduated. Should really be illegal for a 16 year old to drive a hellcat.

I don't like how they are ending a great car. They are difficult to find and the dealers are continuing to bend people over with inflated mark ups. I bought a 2021 challenger scat pack. Had to buy a 21 because they quit taking orders for the 22 and it was months later before I guess you could order a 23. Never have figured out how to order or find a 23. The 21 I found I really like but the dealer charged me $500. More than the original window sticker.

[@BlackyLee88]

If I had the money for a muscle car, I would always prefer to drive a hemi v8 instead of another one. The Mustang, or even the ne Corvette Z06 with its completely new high rev flat-plane v8 may perform better on the track, but will never reach the deep bubbling and torque of such a large displacement. The 392 Super bee would also be enough for me, I honestly find the loud supercharger whining less beautiful than the pure v8 sound. And almost 500 hp are already more than enough. In addition, this great look and design language make the challenger for me the currently most beautiful muscle car there is. It's a pity that Dodge says goodbye to these legendary V8 engines for its muscle cars in the future and then you only get to hear a tuned leaf blower.

[@zavexheart6935]

Would be cool if Dodge went a step further and designed a 'Black Ghost' logo just like they did with the Hellcat. Sure, it doesn't come with a stickshift like the OG Blacl Ghost. But these two, I think would be the cherry on top to justify its outlandish price. Six speed. Custom Black Ghost logo for exclusively other than the OG DODGE that sits on the front. And maybe I'll sacrifice everything for a overpriced Hellcat...
