0Report: Has Dodge stepped in it again with Scat Pack lawsuit? 1413811680
Lawsuits are an unfortunate part of doing business in just about any industry, so the latest complaint filed by a California-based aftermarket firm against Chrysler would seem to be nothing more than business as usual.

Ladies and gentlemen, let's get the most salient bit of information out of the way right off the bat: $63,995*.

Hellcat no help to Fiat-Chrysler's bottom-of-the-pile mpg average 1413374520
What, you expected the "fastest muscle car ever" to help fleetwide fuel economy? Nope, don't think that's going to happen.

Horsepower may steal a lot of headlines, but the always-more-complex torque figure is often a critical one for both the workingman and the motoring playboy. The measure of rotational force is a function of horsepower and engine rpm, and it's also the twist that can liquefy one's tires or haul one's horse trailer.

Report: Dodge Charger Hellcat hitting 60 in 2.9 seconds on drag radials? 1412286000
The Dodge boys and their cousins from SRT have shoehorned the same 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged V8 into both the Dodge Challenger and Charger. The former being a two-door, it's lighter than the latter four-door sedan. So it would stand to reason that the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would be the quicker of the two, right? Only that's not ...
