2023 Dodge Challenger Black Ghost; One of the Last Hellcats | MotorWeek Track Test

Many of you have heard by now that the fearsome Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat's historic run of awesomeness is coming to an end. Some of our greatest Hellcat memories have taken place on the pavement of Savannah's Roebling Road Raceway, so where better to give this Hellcat a final shakedown before it evaporates into thins air like much of the tire smoke it has created over the years.

It’s a dream, but dealers are charging a 100k markup on these. So putting your hands on one will be “Challenging” at best.

At least I can say I lived thru the muscle car revival the past 15 years. It was a fun ride. Now, it's going to be a very quiet artificial ride from here on out.

It's so great to see Mr John Davis still doing these reviews. No one does it better!

This makes me appreciate the short run of the Dodge Demon. That machine was unforgettable.

Motorweek videos are like a throwback to the late 2000s car reviews

I love that they are paying homage to the black ghost

[clockingmath]

Nice backstory. I wasn’t expecting that.

My dead stock 2016 707 hp Hellcat ran 11.2's at 126 mph. And that was on very cold 36 deg morning. Into the 40 mph Wind gusts. And the engine running for 4 hours none stop. Because of the cold weather. My Redeye WB ran 10.5's at 135 mph. All the runs done with the 4 tires. Set at 32 psi, like i run on the street.

That's a damn shame I watched the special about this car about two years ago and the guy said he wouldn't sale his father's car I guess money talks but I wouldn't have sold it it would have stay in the family forever

Shout out to that officer for kicking ass and not writing tickets afterwards🗣

Man, I love this car and those silver wheels are gorgeous! They look so much nicer than when they were painted black.

[TheKiltedYaksman]

Seems like a low trap speed for 807hp...

[bitemyshinnymetalass]

Some fool already posted a black ghost on craigslist in California for sale at a earth shattering $810, 000 dollars. 😅

I’m so glad to have owned multiple hellcats both stick and automatic. I hope even better things are ahead. Gotta have hope and faith that man will continue to create awesome cars.

[starrdogchamp]

Looks so much better without black wheels

[wtwn]

Its a shame they’re not getting a refresh and are instead going away

[Averagegamer]

Dodge should give a black ghost to the kid who had the original r/t 426 hemi Challenger for free seeing the legacy his dad made in motor city

[roberthoyt]

Should appear in the final Fast and Furious movie.

[Edison]

Finally somethinng based on a true legend.
