- Hi everyone, I've owned my Hellcat for almost a year now and wanted to share the pros and cons I've learned along the way. This is all based on my opinion and preferences. With that said, I am forever keeping her! haha

Short simple bold review, I really enjoyed it. Many thanks
Thank you!
she's not lyin about how easily you can lose control of one of these things, it's happened to me several times. it DOES burn A LOT of gas. you can literally SEE the guage moving if you look at it. it's ridiculous. she's also right about being robbed. she better be careful. you can easily get jacked for this car. i bought a destroyer gray charger hellcat for my mother. we don't drive it daily so it's protected and preserved in a garage with a car cover. it's a 2017 with 22 or 23k miles. it's only driven when she needs to go somewhere. and i have my own 2007 fully loaded black jeep grand cherokee srt8 with less than 60k miles on it. we're also NOT selling the hellcat since dodge is (stupidly) not making them anymore. i HOPE she doesn't ruin it by driving it daily and racking up miles on it. she better get a beater.
Bro how’d you get these cars
@@BurnerBurner-pz3pv jeep bought in 2015 for 25k, hellcat bought in nov 2019 w/ ~22k miles for 50k put 30k down took just 2yrs to pay each off
The gauge moving is no joke! haha And not this is not my daily, I have my Camry for that. 🥰 And I agree on not telling the hellcat now that they are discontinued! 😭
Had a Charger Scat Pack. Wasn't bad in the rain. But borrowed a friend's Challenger RT when my car was in the shop. It was down right scarry in the rain. I now have a Hellcat Durango. All wheel drive. No problem. But I do miss my Manuel Mustang Bullitt. Though a lot more scarry to drive 100 miles per hour at night than my Scat Pack was
00:23 "It is the only whining that I will ever tolerate." Awesome!!!
Facts right haha
Very informative video. You know your stuff girl
Appreciate you! 🥰
Omg I thought I was the only one that hated driving mine in the rain … puddles and every red light and stop sign when it’s raining… you have to pay attention way more than any other car I’ve had
Right! I had no idea it was a thing until this car lol
This lady knows her car. Everything she said is true, put clear and simple here.
I'd add that some of the "losing control" is part of having a car with this much power, RWD only and shitty stock tires. The factory Pirellis are just trash. Using a better tire will improve the handling a long way. Other cars with this much power, such as a Camarlo ZL1, will also be hard to tame on low grip conditions, but they ship with better tires from factory.
Another important aspect here is how easy it is go gain power (as if you needed more) compared to the Scat Pack / SRT392 (6.4L NA). These 6.2 engines are very robust and stock configuration has a good, safe margin to work with, while the 6.4 pretty much comes at its limit from factory and any big gains will require changing pistons and other internal engine components. The 6.2 Hellcat engine can easily get 100 more HPs with pulley, injectors and a tune.
You made some great points! Thank you so much for elaborating! Appreciate you sharing your knowledge. 🤩
Her hellcat clean i paid 45k cash for my srt392 really coulda bought a hellcat used cash but congrats to you im up next
Bronze wheels will look really good on this one. Nice ride! Be watchful of those jackers, especially being out in Cali.
Can't go wrong with bronze! 🥰
You’re not paranoid about having your car stolen? That’s the main thing holding me back from getting an RT since that’s all I can afford
Nice video, thanks for the info!
Thank you! 🥰
Great video i love my scat and i have some of the same issues with my car even though its not a Hellcat I feel your pain lol
Use it just whenever you are out even at home don’t worry about the hassle gives you a piece of mind somewhat
So nice. Do u have a kill switch for ur car? And one of those signal blocker boxes for ur keys? There is also a small pouch u cm but as well. This way the signal/frequency can’t replicated, and it being stolen.
all i hear is stewie from family guy asking why ppl talk with that "asking a question" tone of voice 😂😂
LMFAO I knew it sounded familiar! 😂
Prove that it is a hellcat pop the hood
the upward inflection. JILLIAN. (Brian's girlfriend)
People need to learn to use all the power in your car so you can control it. They need to take it somewhere that they can just spin around every which way.
I agree. Eventually I want to take it to the track.
Word to the wise esp if it's your first Mopar....buy an R/T, get used the power, mod it one piece at a time, get used to incremental power increase, save on car payments and insurance, make your own Hellcat for way cheaper. You're welcome.
I had a Gotta Have It Green Mustang GT.....another cop magnet. Hellcats are amazing, but getting all that power down in a hurry can be tricky when trying to shame me in my rev happy Mustang. Beautiful car 👌.
It wasn't you or your mustang's fault for being rev happy haha
I have a 2018 T/A Challenger F8 with a 6 speed and have came out to someone looking to steal it twice I worry when I park and can't see it.
Aw man sorry to hear that! It's a never ending paranoia. 🙁
Great honest video. Did you add a kill switch or upgrade your alarm?
That is a must!
That's awesome, and I hate it too when you park farthest away a plenty of open space and someone goes right next to you, gets on my nerves , keep up the great content Araceli ❤❤❤🥰🥰🥰😊👍
The struggle! Thank you Brandon! 😍
Your welcome anytime Araceli 🥰🥰😊👍
I put my cellphone in the right small narrow slot but the gearshift upside down and it holds there and there registration is high but it goes down every year for me thus far. I like my challenger though
I tried to use the narrow slot next to the shifter, but my phone kept getting nugged under the shifter. Plus it rattles when I drive lol I hope my registrations goes down next year haha Appreciate it! 😄
If you were my neighbor, you could wake me anytime LoL 😍Weather Tech makes a Cup Holder Phone Mount that will keep your phone steady.
Haha! I'll have to look into the cup holder phone mount thanks for the head up! 😄
I tried sending you a link but it kept getting deleted@@ArasGarage
I just bought a shaker scat pack challenger 392 dosen't have the hp yours has but it pretty bad on the gas 😅but I still ❤it it's the last call mopar. Love you're cat it's awesome 😊
That's so awesome! Congrats on your last call!!! We now share the same pains haha
@ArasGarage exactly 💯 agree but here the super unleaded is like 3.65 a gallon isn't that bad 🤔 it's really good on the highway depending 🤣have a great blessed day nice meeting you oh it's white with black stripes 😀
@@liljoesanchez1958 Pleasure meeting you too! 🤩 Key word "depends" haha
Doesn't it come with Blind Spot Monitoring? Everything else is pretty much true. It does have cruise control which is capable of 28MPG on long trips while in Eco Mode.
excellent video
Thank you! 🤩
There are no pros to owning a Hellcat.
I'd trade my 23 Jailbreak for a 70 GTX today.
What made you get a jailbreak?
Why didn't you buy one then since it would have been cheaper....
Tires don't help with traction? I had terrible traction in the rain until I bought the Continent Extreme Contacts, now I can fly 😁...Registration her in Missouri is only about $100/2 yrs, but we pay property tax every year. I'm at about $500/yr ☹️...Great video Ara. You know I love your car 😍😍😍
Gotta change my tires haha $500 is still a lot tho! Thank you lovely! 🥰
Funny thing for my insurance I had a r/t and moved up the a Scatpack and insurance went down a few years later I got a hellcat and my insurance went down again shockingly
Lucky you!
Nice looking car; very clean.
Thank you so much!
I have a 2012 Mustang v6 Convertible, people say NJ is expensive but for two cars and a Harley my Insurance bill is 190 a month, reg yearly is 39 bucks for the Mustang.
Honestly, that is not too bad!
This is what I do with mine I have ( blink, CarLock staring wheel lock, break our clutch lock also just be vigilant and careful…
Can't be careful enough, that's for sure!
Have you considered getting a Hidden or Remote Kill Switch to prevent theft?
Yes and yes, it's a must!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Not a daily driver. More of a weekend fun car. I’m gonna be honest. It still gets smoked by modified 5.0’s or modified SS’s.
I agree, it's a fun weekend car and I'm not going to argue that this car can't lose to another modified car haha It's fast, but not the fastest.
I upgraded to BFG geforce comp 2 better grip than pirellis and tread wont hydroplane as easily.
Ooo thank you for that, I'll need to consider those! 🤩
Now this video is Infotainment for real. Let’s just assume it’s not a 2015 3rd party refurbished head unit. For the love of fresh un air-conditioned ventilation. Unbelievable. Maybe people won’t know they can refurbish it themselves and keep their factory year correct tech.
You need wider tires
All the power and not boring ! Buy a Prius and be dead 😂, buy proper tires girl ! Do your research please
Love it that a female is doing a review on a car like this.
Thank you so much! 🤩
If you are struggling to control it in the rain why would you want performance upgrades ?
For when it doesn't rain 😅
lol@@ArasGarage
What in the world my registration renewal is only $273. I live in michigan
Consider yourself very lucky with $273 🥲
Nice..👌🏾👌🏾
Glad to see you here! Thank you so much! 😍
Just in joy your CAR YOU MITE WONT TO Consider CarLock !, a steering wheel lock, and a brake lock.. I know it can be a hassle. It just might keep your car safe somewhat.
PA car registration is $45.00 per year.
Lucky! 😅
And that's why I own something way better then a hellcat 😂😂😂 TRX 4x4 n.p in any conditions
V6 challenger
All facts tire are for sure trash which was shocking for me
If you got any recommendations for tires, please let me know haha
Please get a firearm🙏🏿
I hear you lol
Never trust a puddle or a fart.
Words to live by.
I'll take your word on that! haha
Cali loves to tax its citizens, your registration should be no more than 100 bucks for 2 years like other states.
Lucky!
