Don't know about common cam or lifters, but it's not the same engine. The Hellcat Hemi is a supercharged 6.2 while I believe the cop car Chargers get a normally aspirated 5.7, not even the 6.4 SRT version!

Yes Myron, correct. I had the distinct pleasure of riding home in a Troy, Michigan Hemi Charger cruiser about a week ago (friend and I too drunk to drive). 5.7 naturally aspirated.

The V10 racing engine had a couple of issues but no cam bearing in an aluminum block - knock on wood we have not had a problem - not sure if MOPAR did this little trick on any others.

That's a shame, but if you read it they say it's wrote off...REALLY? Looks like he hit the tree at maybe 40-50mph. The fenders don't even look pushed back into the doors or the doors into the back of the hole. This looks like a "pushed the crumple zone in 6" or a foot".
This can be fixed.

In 30 years this will be the same story as the guy who bought a brand new hemi challenger in '70 and wrapped it around a tree. We really are in the "good old days".

They have sold 2 in the Mpls. for $20,000. over sticker. One dealer sold 2 for $10,000 over sticker. Sticker around $65,000 before dealer markup.

Well, the metro dealers ruined the PT Cruiser with such pricing, and the Hellcat will be the same. The guy who got our first is a fleet purchaser, already had a Challenger with a Whipple (900 @ rear wheels), and bought at Vette Z06 I think the same day.
