If there is a heaven for car enthusiasts, then the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye needs to be there, if not for the looks and power, then at least for the soundtrack.
There is something about that supercharger that prevents some from sleeping at night, and when 797 HP and 707 lb-ft (957 Nm) of torque are no longer enough, then they turn to the tuning industry to take their rides further into the hypercar realm.
The man that you are about to see riding shotgun in the white Redeye is actually the owner of the car. And he will have to get used to the incredible power that is now available at his disposal at the push of the pedal, as it features Hennessey’s HPE1000 kit.

This means that the 6.2-liter V8 has welcomed a 2.65-liter supercharger system, high-flow catalytic converters, upgraded pulley and throttle body, supercharger bypass valve and other items that have unleashed 1,035 HP and 948 lb-ft (1,285 Nm). Full power is available at 6,500 rpm, while to benefit from the peak torque, he will have to keep it at 4,200 rpm. In order to deploy these impressive numbers, the engine needs to be fed race gas.
As it’s often the case with tuners today, Hennessey did not say mention acceleration figures, but the Redeye was already very fast without any mods: 0-60 mph (0-96 km/h) in 3.4 seconds and 203 mph (326 km/h) top speed, in addition to a 10.8-second quarter-mile time.
Now, head on down and watch the short video, but don’t forget to turn up the volume to let some of that amazing music run through your speakers.
