Sure, the Hellcat is the Dodge that makes all the headlines. And rightfully so, as the idea of a 707-horsepower coupe being offered for less than $65,000 is a big deal.

The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat has received an EPA fuel economy rating of 13 miles per gallon in the city and a fairly impressive 22 miles per gallon on the highway. That city figure isn't shocking, but getting over 20 on the highway is pretty solid. MUST SEE: Car Crashes Into Bedroom Of 71-Year-Old Car Enthusiast: Video Especially when you remember that the car has an oh-so-thirsty 707-horspeower, 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 engine under its hood. Now, if we're being completely honest here, hitting those fuel economy numbers would take a level of restraint even Gandhi would find impressive...

Lies! There Is No $212,000 Dodge Challenger SRT HellcatOver the weekend a photo of a 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat's window sticker started making waves on the Internet. Why?

Dodge is currently in the midst or reigniting some serious automotive lust thanks to its latest bit of high-horsepower lovelies. Not everyone is going to opt (or need) the 707-horsepower Hellcat variants of the Charger and the Challenger, however, and that's where the less potent but still awesomely loud Scat Pack cars come in. There's a problem though, as the revival of the Scat Pack naming has also brought about the return of a rather old lawsuit against the automaker. MUST SEE: 2016 Chevrolet Camaro Spy Video First we have to dive into a little bit of history. Chrysler first launched the...

Rollerblading Is Only Cool When Done At 125 MPH: VideoOkay, so that was an unfair jab at rollerblading.
