    Dodge's Charger and Challenger SRT Hellcats are arguably the best bang for your buck when it comes to dollars and horsepower.

Last month we heard that 2016 Hellcat production was being doubled from the 2015 model year to meet overwhelming demand, and that pricing would also likely rise. We now have pricing for the 2016 Hellcats, and they are indeed more expensive than the 2015 models. The starting price on the 2016 Challenger SRT Hellcat comes in at $65,190...
