Used Hellcats: The 10 Best Models on the Market Today: Analysis

Power ratings sit in narrow bands

The list falls into a few output tiers rather than ten separate numbers: 807 hp, 797 hp, 717 hp, 710 hp, 707 hp and 702 hp. A 10 hp difference matters less on a used car than modifications, tyre condition and maintenance history, so equal or near-equal ratings are not a ranking of which car is better to buy. The Dodge history covers the brand behind most of these cars.

Body style changes the buying question

Challenger and Charger Hellcats share engine output but differ in body, while Durango, Trackhawk and TRX move the same engine family into SUVs and a pickup. Use the Jeep badge page for Trackhawk context, then check the exact model year, build options and a VIN recall search rather than relying on the badge.

Important context

  • Super Stock is rated 10 hp above the Redeye cars, which share the same 6.2-litre supercharged engine with a revised calibration.
  • Three SUVs and trucks, Durango SRT Hellcat, Grand Cherokee Trackhawk and Ram 1500 TRX, carry Hellcat-family power in a bigger body.
  • Early 2015 Challenger and Charger Hellcats are rated 707 hp, the same as the Trackhawk.

What to check before buying

  • Factory horsepower rating
  • Exact model year and body
  • Service and modification history
  • VIN recall check

FAQ: Used Hellcats: The 10 Best Models on the Market Today

What does the Hellcat engine mean on these cars?

It refers to the supercharged 6.2-litre HEMI V8 family used in the Dodge, Jeep and Ram models here, rated from 702 to 807 hp depending on the model.

Which used Hellcat has the highest horsepower rating?

The Dodge Challenger SRT Super Stock is rated at 807 hp. The Charger and Challenger Redeye models are rated at 797 hp.

Is the Ram 1500 TRX a Hellcat?

Not by name, but it uses a supercharged 6.2-litre HEMI V8 and is rated at 702 hp.

Do these ratings tell me which car is best to buy?

No. They rank only factory power. Condition, modifications, service records, tyres and an unresolved-recall check matter more on a used car.

Sources & methodology

Models are ordered by manufacturer-rated horsepower, then by newer launch year where ratings are equal. Ratings are launch-era figures and individual model years can differ. Used prices are omitted. Check each car’s VIN for unresolved recalls and its power-mode settings.
