So, the gun doesn’t work, which is a bummer, but given the price of 76 mm shells these days that’s probably for the best. Gun is not live, and the breech has been demilled.” The tank has a little joe generator which is fully functional as well as a functional turret motor. The motor was rebuilt in 2013 as well and runs perfectly. It has the more powerful R-975 C4 motor which makes it the fastest most powerful WWII tank you will drive. According to the seller, “This vehicle was restored from an empty hull in 2012-2013. The Buick Hellcat listed at Hemmings appears to be a particularly nice example of the M18 breed. Another point to the Buick.Ī powerful radial engine can propel the Buick Hellcat to speeds of around 50 mph, which we’re betting feels much, much faster. At nearly 40,000 lbs, the Buick Hellcat probably isn’t even road-legal. At roughly 4,500 lbs, the Challenger Hellcat is, shall we say, substantial. Designed for the rigors of battle, the M18 has faced challenges much tougher than the Friday night race-a-cop at your rinky-dink local quarter-mile. The Buick Hellcat, on the other hand, is quite literally built like a tank. So we’re giving this one to the Buick.īuild quality? The Challenger and Charger are solid vehicles we like to think they’ll hold together despite the forced-induction eight-cylinder monsters attempting chew through their hoods, but we don’t have enough long-term testing under our belts to say one way or the other. But as every Miata review ever written has noted, it’s more fun to drive a slow tank destroyer fast than a fast tank destroyer slow, and 50 mph in an M18 probably feels a lot faster than 120 mph in a cushy Challenger. So the Buick Hellcat’s speed isn’t quite up to the Mopar Hellcats' on paper.
