Everybody went crazy when Dodge announced the Hellcat Charger and Challenger models. After all, the reaction was expected since the 6.2-liter supercharged V8 with 707 horsepower is a proper muscle car monster that shouldn’t be released on the streets. But Dodge did just that, allowing the general public to buy one of the fastest and most powerful muscle cars ever built (via Dodge).

Despite being overpowered in every aspect, the Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcat are surprisingly good to drive. They can even be docile at low speeds. Only when you press the throttle and unleash the fury of 707 supercharged horses can you feel the brutality of the Hellcat package. Turn off the stability control systems and try to drive this car aggressively. Not only will you find yourself in a massive cloud of tire smoke in seconds. But the Hellcat will also skid uncontrollably. The fastest recipe for disaster is just that: turning everything off and hitting the gas. You will not be able to control it. It will quite possibly try to kill you by pushing the car into the nearest wall or ditch.
