OPPO QOTD: Hellcat All the Things!

Given the hullabaloo about the JGC TrackHawk I was curious about what Oppo would Hellcat if given the chance.

So, ignoring limitations due to size, drivetrain, manufacturer, logic, etc. what currently offered vehicle would you Hellcat? Why?

I’d throw it in the Colorado because 1) I want a truck 2) it would be stupid fun and 3) I think it needs something to make it seem “tough”.

Have at it!

Can someone explain why there is enough room in the wheel wells of new trucks for a medium-size dog?

Fiat 500

A FSAE car

One of the Toybaru twins. Someone told me they needed more power, so here you go.

Wheel articulation? Jk probably just to make it seem tougher.

There’s one car I WON’T HELLCAT, because Hellcat won’t be enough. It will never be enough.

For the back, I’d like to say for when you’re carrying heavy loads. Overall...couldn’t tell you unless someone designing it wanted one but with larger wheels so they were all sneaky with selfish motives.

How awesome would that be as a marketing campaign for FCA, to buy up brand new vehicles from other manufacturers and show them being torn down & rebuilt with a the Hellcat treatment. And then try to sell them back to the dealerships they bought them from. Automotive trolling at its finest.

It’d be funny if Hellcat became the next Small Block Chevy...

It even matches manufacturer, feel free to cram one in our Jeep Commander in place of the slug 3.7L V6 please. For the record they came with HEMI’s so it’s not too far off in crazy land.

Yes I know you said I could put it in anything but the lack of power in that 3.7 kills my soul.

For fun, how about a POS 1976 Dodge Dart 4 door. SLEEPER LIFE

If you will provide the engine at the end of a season, I’m sure my FSAE team would be willing to make the huge sacrafice of hooking it up to the car. (if the car would survive that’s a completely diffrent matter.)

I said current because it narrows the field and allows for us all to see stuff in a new light.

If I said anything goes it would be easier but answers wouldn’t resonate with everyone.

I think my fallback - Hellcat mini-Renault - is perfectly okay, though.

Ariel Atom.

Realistically though, I’d be happy with a Trackhawk Renegade (not that I would buy it, I just like the idea). Give it something with say 300HP/AWD and it could be plenty of fun.

The funny thing is, that 3.7 in my Dad’s Ram feels fast in comparison to my 4Runner.

God I can’t believe they put that noise maker in a 1500.

It must be useless as a real truck.

This summer driving back from SC to MI we cut through the Appalachians in WV and I’m telling you I had this thing FLOORED and couldn’t crack 80 mph.

We pulled a little over a ton when we were moving, and it did fine for 450 miles. It’s a 6-speed/regular cab truck, so that probably helps a bit. It still weighs nearly 5k.

MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies 08/27/2015 at 13:08

Yeah it would but a ton sounds fancy, it’s still only 2,000 pounds. The Commander with the 3.7 is rated at 3500 pounds, so around 1 ton/2000 pounds is about all I’d feel comfortable hooking up to it.

I like to refer to the engine as an anchor. But the other 2 vehicles I drive are my surprisingly zippy V6 Mercury Milan and my 1968 Mercury Montego.

You obliterated the “currently offered” clause and I’m ok with it.

More than ok.

Dad’s is rated at 5k pounds, but we’ve never tested it. But you don’t know boat anchor until you’ve used something with a 3VZE, granted other than head gaskets they’re damn near bulletproof. The 3.7 is a stallion in comparison.

I dunno man. If it is I feel bad for you. And oh yeah don’t worry it’s just head gaskets, only one of the most expensive things to replace on an engine....no worries...rock solid....

the 3500 limitation is because we have the full time 4x4 option which is more like AWD than true 4x4.

If I do it myself it’s less than $1k, plus with the most recent OEM components(which it has) it’s supposed to completely fix the problem, so now it’s just change the oil occasionally and slowly go. But it’s 150hp at 4800 rpm and 180ft.lbs. at 3900 rpm in something that weighs 3800lbs and is turning 33” tires.

sounds like its time for a motor swap.

less than a grand sounds awfully close to a rebuilt V8

I’ve been down the GM road before, never, ever, EVER, again. I want to make it more reliable and durable, not less.

oh STFU

a GM Small Block V8 is the pinnacle of reliability, and I’m mainly a Ford guy.

I’m not going to say the other stuff on the cars/trucks are perfect, but the core, the engine itself is a rock.

While somewhat durable, there are a lot of engines out there that well past outshine it. It’s kind of like the 22R/RE: It’s cheap as shit to modify and fix and it will always run, but not necessarily well. A cheap small block weighs more than a 1UZ any way, plus the 1UZ hooks up to the factory computer and will most certainly run well longer. Also, the 1UZ is nearly, if not as cheap when comparing mileage/power.

your factory computer is a compelling argument.

It’s the only compelling/legitimate argument I see in that post.

Reliability is pretty compelling, less weight is legitimate. For example: It’s Matt Farah’s million mile, unrebuilt Lexus LS400(contains 1UZ), not Matt Farah’s million mile, unrebuilt GMT400 Tahoe.

I was shocked that no one mentioned already, so I had to be “that guy.” But if you think about it, it does make sense. My original thought was an Elise or something (basically lightweight sports car), and why not kiss up with Miata?
