I don't work for Chrysler, but I would bet they had a stylist working on them for months to try and get them looking the best they could. Sometimes, no matter how much work you put in, it is still lipstick on a pig.

I could find a graphic designer that could probably redesign them in about 10 minutes, then mold or 3d print them. It isn't rocket science, so why make excuses? Gotta quit believing my lying eyes I guess...

This is more like a hot chick with a tattoo on her forehead. Why? Now that I've seen it, it's all I can see... Lol.

It was noted in this thread, any sheet metal changes would have needed all new crash testing

I know jealousy of an aged to perfection lx daimler chassis for 100k bothers people

...Said no one in the history of the world, ever...LMAO. You should expect more for $100k.

Wouldnt need wider flares or wider tires if they just made the thing AWD... :)

Wouldn't even need 8 cylinders if they made it 2k lb. You could go faster, turn sharper, stop faster, and get 40mpg. The recipe was flawed from the get-go. ;)
 
Get a set of fenders.... Hellcat Air Dam....and rock the front runners...... Now, ya have a spare set of slicks... Problem solved....

Not a fan of the front flares....

Yeah, they could have made it a motorcycle too, and then it would be even faster. Everyone has opinions. I'm one of the tens of thousands of Challenger fans who hope they never change it too much, because it may then become "one of the crowd". The size and weight of it are part of the recipe that makes it preferable to many other cars. Roomy, comfortable, quiet, and better looking than the competition by miles, IMO. A great long-distance road car. Like many of the FCA/SRT products, it is really in a class of it's own, like the TrackHawk and SRT Durango. For instance, I didn't buy my Scat Pack to be the fastest or best handling, although it is the closest to a perfect car I've found for my current purposes. Yeah, the Mustang and Camaro were overall about on par performance-wise, but lacked big time in other areas that were important to me. I've owned dozens of performance cars, some foreign, and I like this one the best. It is the overall best performance car I've owned (close second goes to my 10 second C5). For $36K there was nothing new on the market that was close for me. To top it off, these top-dog Challengers (Hellcat/Demon) with all their weight, outdated chassis and "flawed recipe", are still the fastest of these types of cars. For many muscle car fans, they are the pinnacle. I can't wait to see what record breaking "flawed recipe" they cook up next! (BTW, with Alfa Romeo Quadrafoglio (or however you spell it), FCA has one of the best handling cars in the world so they could always build the car you are talking about with that platform!)
 
Buddy picked his up last night. Going to fill it with race gas and toss it on the dyno late next week. It’s a bad ass car for sure. Wheel flares in person are not to bad, but the front side reflectors need help. Lol.

I know they needed the flares to run the larger tire, but with the correct offset they could have made a wide tire work out back without the flares. I have a 11 inch rear wheel with a 305 and it sits dead flush.

I really thought the flares would have been “demon” only which would have been sweet but so much that. lol

Yeah guys have fit up to 315s pretty flush on back w/o flares. FCA wanted to be able to go 315 on frt though to get grip on the skid pad over 1g. I don't think anyone's gone beyond a 275 successfully on the front without spacers on a non flared car.

Picture a GTR at 2k lb... I'm not allowed to rep you again, lol. I don't hate the car at all, but I'm certainly going to throw some logic into your emotional spokes. ;)
 
Yep!!!. 315 upfront without the flares would be a mess. I have a 285 in the front and that is about all she wrote.

What did you get on the rear of yours with stock wheels? I’m heading in the direction of staggered wheels on mine. This is what I’m leaning towards. 20x10.5 rear and 20x9 front. They don’t disrupt the flow of the car.

Ha. Ok fine. But the car has been wet. I run into this with some of the older Guys with their corvettes when they say. “Never been in Rain, never wet. One guy once tried to convince that his 67 had original windshield washer fluid. Hahaha”.
