Sold My E90 and Moved to this...
I was looking at different cars but nothing could compare. I hope I don't get booed out of here LOL. I have been a long time member of these boards. I loved my e90, amazing car, and amazing community of people on here!
I sold my e90, as I wanted one as soon as I saw it. So when I found it in white, I grabbed this baby. I can stay White Fury, just Version #2 haha. No words can describe it except a airplane take off. Insanity to say the least. Car on the dyno bone stock did 668 rwhp. Tune & Intake coming and it will be around 720 rwhp. I might do pulley down the line and that should be 760-770 rwhp. Here are some pics.

Congrats! I wonder tho, how long you are going to last before coming back to 335 lol? Charger is a no competition for a properly modded 335 no matter how much hp Charger has lol. Ok, I'm biased obviously, but it's a sad thing to see you go

Aesthetically I find them enjoyable but that doesn't come close to outweighing the anxiety of owning a high-horsepower FCA product with a hilariously small pumpkin and toothpick axles.
Enjoy it!

I suppose that car will be a lot of fun, but anything much over 3500 pounds is too heavy for me. Enjoy!

Great upgrade, should be a blast to drive! after owning for a while come back and give an honest review how it compares! Also, how do you expect to get through a winter in NJ with 700rwhp?

Well, Hellcats were having the stock pressure plate fail with 5k miles on the drivetrain so you be the judge.

Thanks for all kind words everyone!
There hasn't been any issue with the car. I am part of the Hellcat.org. No reports of any major issues except the driveshaft. However, driveshaft shop makes one for $700. The car handles better than my 335 did. It has street, sport, and track settings, for a big sedan it takes corners well! Interior is nice. Dodge/Chrysler has stepped up big time since 2012. The power is insane and its very comfortable in street mode. Even more so than my 335. I loved my 335, still miss it. However this is just a beast of a car.

Handles better than an E90 because it has dummy buttons that stiffen up the suspension for 30 seconds then go back to default?

Congrats mate. We all need change from time to time. That's crazy hp for a sedan. I'm sure it would pull hard on the freeway and nothing like a brand new car. Enjoy it in good health.

Haha, modded 335. Please.
Congrats on the Hellkitty. 10s with tire. Jelly. The recent employee leases made this the best HP/$$ ratio buy this spring. I see a ton of daily driver Hellcats around here. |

lol @ handles better. Maybe it handles better than a 150k mile suspension on a non-m sport E90.
My career dictates that I am critical on vehicles.....and when comparing to a certain vehicle we decided to not even consider it a competitor to our performance cars due to it's nature. It's pretty much what we would consider a "Woodward Avenue Cruiser". Straight line power and not much else. Congrats on the purchase though, to each his own. |

Congrats on the purchase! You're going to get a lot of dissent on the forum, but hey it's fanboy forum. I personally still wouldn't mind having a hellcat challenger on the side
