Do you have the balls to give us a Hellcat Journey? No reason at all for this thing to exist, which is why it must. A 700HP AWD 200 mph soccer mom mobile. What say you, Dodge?

I don't think it will hit 200 mph. Close, but not quite.

There is nothing on this car that would withstand half that power, not even the seats.

I'm gonna go ahead and call Ralph Gilles a total pussy, hoping that it motivates him to make a hellcat journey.

Even a never-gonna-build-it prototype like that V8 Camry would be good enough for me.

DO IT DODGE. DO IT FOR THE KIDS DODGE. AND THE POOR BEATEN DOWN MINIVAN DRIVING TREAD-HEAD DADS, DODGE.

...even if only for the head to head road tests of R63 AMG vs Journey SRT Hellcat.

Worth noting that the next Journey will get the SRT treatment. I doubt it will be Hellcat powered though, my guess is same the drivetrain as the Dart SRT.

I saw this post and my first thought was,

"Wait, Dodge still sells the Journey?"

They can't, and here's why:

The Journey is built on a Sebring (remember those?) platform. It's designed for either FWD or AWD and a transverse mount engine. To stick a Hemi into it they'd have to redesign everything below the beltline, and that ain't gonna happen.

The only way we could ever even dream of this happening is if a later redesign brings in a longitudinal mount engine and RWD capability.
