Street Racer's Seized 1080 HP Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redye Is Now Serving Texas Police | Carscoops carscoops
An entry-level Challenger SRT Hellcat leaves the factory with a 6.2-liter supercharged V8 pumping out 707 hp. The Texas Department of Public Safety – Southeast Texas Region has revealed that this Hellcat has been upgraded to 1,080 hp and was actually seized before being awarded to the agency by a judge.
The 2020 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye was seized by police in April 2021 after the driver engaged in dangerous street racing and fled from law enforcement officers reaching speeds of 160 mph and driving erratically, according to Texas DPS. Police cheekily noted that it “went from evading law enforcement in Harris Co. to now catching criminals wherever it roams in Texas.”
