This engine needs to be a crate motor.
Sure a fully warrantied 700+ horsepower off the showroom floor, in this dick-measiring-contest known as a horsepower is war, is rather impressive and all...But the Hellcat is still just going to have the same power to weight ratio as a 200 horsepower 'weaker' C6 Corvette Z06.

It’s looking more and more like Dodge will be placing its now-infamous Hellcat engine in its 2015 Charger SRT models, too. That means you get up to 707 horsepower in a four-door sedan package. And you’ll be the most popular parent in your son’s soccer practice carpool.
Semi-confirmation comes from the SAE filing for the Hellcat’s power rating, which mention both the 2015 Challenger SRT and 2015 Charger SRT as the supercharged 6.2L’s intended vehicles.
