I think that it should be a no-brainer for Dodge/FCA to offer the Charger, and Jeep Trackhawk, Durango, Chrysler 300, and RAM trucks, ALL with the 797HP Hellcat Redeye motor. First off, it is a "king of the hill" badge of honor, and it cements the idea of superior power across the whole line-up of performance models. The top power crown would make halo cars out of each model, not just the Challenger. And they could spread the development cost of adding the Redeye drivetrain across the brands, plus it would raise the interest in those models and bring foot traffic into dealerships. Now realistically, they should really combine the Redeye engine with AWD for each of those Hellcat vehicles because in the real world several far less powerful cars can often beat a Hellcat which is traction limited. With such a huge amount of power already available, it is simply difficult putting it down with two driving wheels using street summer tires, let alone 3-season tires. I've seen clips of the smaller/cheaper Tesla Model 3 Performance walk away from various Hellcat models on the street simply because they put the power down better and don't have to shift. I would really like to see a Redeye Hellcat Charger, but I think that they need to double down on the actual performance capability by adding AWD, which they have already developed for the Trackhawk.
