I bought a Challenger Hellcat as my midlife crises car (can't come up with any other reason for doing something so out of character), the only word I ever have after launch would get me in trouble here.
Mine is a little older though, none of that 4 cyl stuff.
My average mpg is usually in the 7 range according to the dash display, and I've never once cared.
It obviously isn't my daily driver though, I'd definitely care about mpg if it was.

Nice..that car is a handful. I can't imagine 707hp on a 2wd car.
Yeah, pretty sure cylinder deactivation isn't available on the supercharged motor for obvious reasons.
I'm giving my wife the srt and going for the Trackhawk next.
It does just over 2 sec 0-60 stock, I believe.
Absolute clown car
Fun stuff

I still own every vehicle I've purchased since 2000 (3), and only the 2000 needs replacing in the next couple years.
If you like the Jeep (who wouldn't?), why not maintain it and use it for another 15 years at basically zero cost?
35k is only about 2k/year after the 20 year value.
Where else are you gonna have that much fun for 2k/year?

I find it hilarious that people think that electric cars are better for the environment. The mining for the metals used in the batteries causes mass destruction and tons of waste. 80% of all power is generated using coal or gas. The disposal of these batteries is a nightmare due to their toxic nature. The electric grid could not handle everyone switching to electric. We already have brown outs and black outs in California. It's a scam but to each their own. I'll stick to the internal combustion engine.

OIK we are selling our SRT and considering electric but I'm not seeing any savings fuel wise a bill is a bill whether it's Gas or Electric .
Have any of you broke down the cost per Mile and average cost for a full charge not to mention battery life and cost to replace battery's ?
Also how well does the car work in below zero temps ?
Interested in opinions and if anyone has sit down and did the actual cost charge and replacement If you have to replace the battery's every couple of years that needs to be added into the cost per mile .
Also if you let the car sit for a couple weeks does it hold a charge does it leach power just being parked thats money also .
