Drove a high end Challenger on the Autobahn before the Hellcat came out. It had the 485HP engine. Top speed of that one was ~185MPH. The Hellcat has ~700HP and top speed of ~200MPH. At those speeds it takes 200HP to go 15MPH faster to overcome wind resistance in the Challenger. I took it to 155MPH or so for a brief period of time. I felt fairly comfortable driving at 120 MPH, but beyond that it wasn't pleasant. Air starts invading the passenger compartment and with the road noise, you can't hear yourself think.

It is a beast.
