If Dodge told me I could bring ONE of these back, this would be a tough one.

I’ve had experience around Challengers, I’ve ridden in Hellcats and Demon 170s, and they’re amazing cars. It honestly sucks seeing the Challenger gone, even though I feel like the new Charger kind of replaced it since the new coupe basically looks like a Challenger anyway.

Then you’ve got the Magnum SRT8. To me, that’s probably the rarest and most unique one here. A wagon with a 6.1L HEMI V8, 425 HP and 420 lb-ft was already crazy back then. I’d LOVE to see the Magnum come back, preferably in Hellcat form. I’m not asking for an inline-six Magnum… but I’m not gonna lie, I’d still be curious. 😂

The Viper is still the best one in this whole group. No question. A real American supercar with an 8.4L V10, and the final cars made 645 HP and 600 lb-ft. Just imagine Dodge bringing back a V10 in today’s world. That would be insane.

And lowkey, the sleeper pick here is the Neon SRT-4. That car was way ahead of its time. A little front-wheel-drive monster with a 2.4L turbo 4-cylinder, 230 HP and 250 lb-ft, and it earned respect quick. Honestly, if Dodge ever brought back a small performance car, this might be the most realistic one to return. And imagine it with a modern turbo setup or even something based around today’s Hurricane family… that would be wild.

So if you could only bring ONE back, what are you choosing and why?

* Magnum SRT — 6.2L Supercharged HEMI / 3.0L Twin-Turbo Inline-6
* Viper — 8.4 V10 / 645 HP
* Challenger — from 485 HP S**t Packs all the way to the 1,025 HP Demon 170
* Neon SRT-4 — 3.0L Twin-Turbo Inline-6 / 550 HP / 531 lb-ft

Me personally, the Viper is the best overall… but the Magnum might be the one I’d be most hyped to actually see return.

Which HEMI is going to be worth the most one day? 👀

And I’m talking about the ENGINES themselves, not the cars they came in.

The 6.1L HEMI really kicked off the modern SRT era. It arrived in 2005 making 425 hp and 420 lb-ft, first showing up in the 300C SRT8 before making its way into the Charger, Magnum, Challenger and Jeep SRT8. Production ended around 2010, so these motors have already been gone for more than 15 years. When the 300C SRT8 debuted, the entire car was only $39,995 including destination.

Then came the 6.4L / 392 HEMI for 2011. It debuted with 470 hp and 470 lb-ft, replacing the 6.1 in the SRT lineup. The first Challenger SRT8 392 started at about $42,555 before destination, and later versions eventually reached the 485 hp we all know from the S**t Packs.

And then in 2015 Dodge completely changed everything with the supercharged 6.2L Hellcat HEMI. The original made 707 hp and 650 lb-ft, and the first Challenger Hellcat started at just $59,995. At the time, getting over 700 factory horsepower for around $60K was absolutely ridiculous.

But that same basic 6.2L family eventually went WAY further.

We got the Redeye at 797 hp, the original Demon at up to 840 hp, and finally the Demon 170 making 1,025 hp on high-ethanol fuel. The Demon 170 had a $96,666 MSRP and Dodge planned no more than 3,300 of them.

That’s where future value gets interesting.

The 6.1 has history and age going for it. Clean original engines are only going to become harder to find.

The 6.4/392 might be one of the most loved naturally aspirated modern HEMIs ever made, but there were also a LOT more of them produced.

The regular Hellcat 6.2 changed the entire performance world, so I don’t see people ever forgetting that motor.

But if we’re talking about the engines that could eventually command the craziest collector money, I think the Demon/Redeye versions of the 6.2 have a huge advantage because of their factory hardware, horsepower and rarity.

And with engines, originality is going to matter too. A documented, untouched, numbers-matching-style drivetrain from a rare car is a completely different thing than a random used long block sitting on a pallet.

So 15–20 years from now…

6.1, 6.4/392, regular Hellcat 6.2, or Demon/Redeye 6.2 — which HEMI do you think people will be paying stupid money for?

The Trackhawk vs Durango Hellcat debate usually comes down to performance, but there’s one thing I don’t think gets talked about enough… THE SOUND.

I’ve been around pretty much every Hellcat platform, and once they’re modified, the Trackhawk and Durango Hellcat have this very specific sound that’s hard to explain until you hear one in person. Especially with builds like the Exotic Killer package. They both have that same deep, aggressive tone that sounds different from the Chargers, Challengers and even the TRX.

Personally, I think these are the two best-sounding modified Hellcat platforms. That’s obviously just my opinion, but after being inside both of them, they sound CRAZY.

Performance-wise, they’re extremely close too.

Trackhawk:
707 HP / 645 lb-ft
6.2L Supercharged HEMI
AWD
0-60 around 3.5 seconds
1/4 mile around 11.6 seconds
7,200-lb max towing
2 rows / 5 passengers

Durango Hellcat:
710 HP / 645 lb-ft
6.2L Supercharged HEMI
AWD
0-60 around 3.5 seconds
1/4 mile around 11.5 seconds
Up to 8,700-lb towing
3 rows / 6-7 passenger configuration depending on setup

And that’s what always surprises me about the Durango. It’s bigger, heavier, has a third row and can tow more, yet stock-for-stock it can still edge out the Trackhawk in the quarter mile.

With that said… I’m still taking the Trackhawk. 😂

I just like the way the Jeep looks more. But if we’re talking about practicality, the Durango Hellcat is hard to argue against. Three rows, 700+ HP and serious towing capability is a ridiculous combination.

But sound alone… give me either one modified. 😮‍💨

Trackhawk or Durango Hellcat?

This was such a good era for performance SUVs 🔥

The TrailBlazer SS came with a 6.0L LS2 V8 making 390 HP and 400 lb-ft of torque, while the Grand Cherokee SRT8 answered with a 6.1L HEMI making 425 HP and 420 lb-ft.

Both were basically family SUVs that had no business being this fast for the mid-2000s 😂

The TrailBlazer SS had that Corvette-based LS2, could be had in RWD or AWD, and had that sleeper look where most people wouldn’t think twice about it.

The Jeep SRT8 was the more aggressive one. AWD, big Brembos, center exhaust, 6.1 HEMI, and it looked like a performance SUV from every angle.

These two helped set the stage for the crazy performance SUVs we have today.

If both were sitting in front of you in clean condition and the price was the same…

TrailBlazer SS or Grand Cherokee SRT8?

I already know what I’m picking 😂
