"Heavenly Hellcat"
       The Amato Automotive Group has consistently presented me an abundance of opportunities in these last few years, but one of the most memorable by far is my first ride in the 2019 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat. It was more than just "another ride" in "another car". To me it was an eye-opening experience that I will never forget. According to dodge.com, this is "the most powerful five-seat production car ever." Let me tell you why!
The all new 2019 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is built with the necessities to provide passengers with an overall dream-like experience, not much unlike the one I had myself. Being that this is the only Charger I have ever had the pleasure of riding in, I feel as though the 707-horsepower, and 650 pound-feet of torque will be unforgettable to not just myself, but anyone who has the opportunity to go for a cruise. Whether it be one mile, or 1,000 miles, you will Reviews of this particular modern muscle car have informed me that the V8 engine is capable of accelerating from 0-60 miles per hour in less than four seconds (3.4 to be exact), and I am here to ensure you that this is a fact! As far as performance is concerned, the Hellcat is nothing short of extraordinary. Like the majority of the population, up until this point I have never had the opportunity to ride in a space ship, but I am certain this beast of a sedan was as close as I will ever get!
You may not recognize an immediate difference between this vehicle and other Charger models strictly by looking at the exterior, but the interior features that come standard in the Hellcat are absolutely incredible. Not only is the interior relatively roomy but is also capable of seating up to five passengers at a time which surprised me at first. Not all modern muscle cars provide consumers with this option. Also, I found myself not only entertained by the ride, but also by all the technology in the cockpit. An 8.4-inch touchscreen displayed the navigation as well as other available entertainment options and I was impressed by how I had the ability to personalize pretty much everything. Smartphone connectivity even gives passengers the chance to utilize "Apple CarPlay "or "Android Auto" while on the road! Sitting in a ventilated black leather seat that felt form fitting to my body, and kept me cool at the same time made for an exceptionally satisfying excursion to say the least.Â
The acceleration, technology, and incredible stopping power are not the only beneficial aspects of the Hellcat! Rear-Wheel Drive vehicles always seem to "get up and go" a lot faster than standard FWD cars, and this Charger is definitely no exception! However, for those of us who live in the midwest, or wherever there is inclement weather, the Hellcat comes with an optional All-Wheel Drive configuration! Also, an available option for forward collision warning contributes to the optimal safety features in this vehicle and will add to your peace-of-mind while behind the wheel. Once you have had the opportunity to see first-hand exactly what the 2019 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat has to offer on the inside and out, I'm positive that you will easily recognize them on the road from this day forward!
