2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Crashes In Colorado

Deliveries of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat only commenced a month ago but the injury toll is already mounting. The crash involving this lime green example is easily the worst so far; it happened on a stretch of road in Colorado.

There is little information surrounding the events but it is believed the owner only picked up the car from the dealer an hour before it ended up like this. Photos taken at the scene suggest the car skidded off the road near a bend and crashed head-on into a tree.

Fortunately, we hear no one was seriously injured. The same can’t be said for the car; as this image from the SRT Facebook page shows, this 707-horsepower muscle machine is likely to be a complete write-off.

We’ve driven the new Challenger SRT Hellcat and found that it delivers performance that will leave even those used to powerful cars awestruck, so this sad sight serves as an important reminder for buyers of such cars to always factor in their own skills and consider whether the cost of performance driving course should be included in their price estimations. It’s also a good reminder for everyone to stay safe over the Christmas and New Year break.

Thanks Mod `David for being the first to post & comment...
Yes, the Texas Shoot`Out was fun 2 Watch & I think FUNNER to be able to do that 4-Sure!

I post vid's like above in hopes it entertains some of our members. I know that many don't have the knowledge or tech information to help some of our member's with their Monte Problems ( I sure can't, but try) & I'm hoping a few of my threads will keep a few of our member's returning to keep our forum active/informative & fun...

I hope that any of our member's that have a vid they like to share it on the MCF (Family audience vid's) (It's difficult to find them without swear words)

I only have one and it was taken with a cell phone way down the track so it is not very good at all..you can hear my daughter screaming "Mommy won, Mommy won"...LOL It was my very first win. When I send it to email it loses the sound for some reason
Ok I got the video to upload to Youtube so I wasted some of their storage space...lol I am in the far lane and you don't see me for long (not because I am fast but because the video is horrible..LOL) It is my very first win ever at the Muncie Dragway. I will keep this video forever no matter how bad the resolution is Ok here it is...
I promise next season the videos will be MUCH better.
