The 2020 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is coming, and from what we know, it’s better than it’s ever been. Though Dodge has been a little hush-hush about the details of this sought-after muscle car, we do know some information about what the new SRT Hellcat will bring to the table.Here are five interesting features of the 2020 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat. Wild Power The Charger Hellcat is one of the top names in raw, wild power. Dodge hasn’t officially confirmed what the 2020 Dodge Charger Hellcat will have under its hood, but the supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 engine is likely. That engine produced a white-knuckled 717 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque in 2019, thanks to its Demon-inspired engineering. When you want an American muscle car with the most muscle, it’s the Charger Hellcat you’re looking for. more Wide-Body Option The 2020 Charger SRT Hellcat will have the wide-body option. This doesn’t just stretch out the Charger — it improves handling and traction. With a wider stance on the road, a wide-body Charger has a better grip to take on cornering smoothly. With its stretched-out fender flares, the SRT Hellcat has a more dominating and powerful stance on the road. Updated Style When the new Charger hits dealerships, the first thing you may notice is its updated style. It will have a more sporty look than this year’s version. The longer front end will have larger LED headlamps, and the rear end will be lower. The SRT Hellcat will stand on black, five-spoke wheels and also get a face-lift. With its updated style, it looks ready to take on the road and turn heads wherever it goes. Performance Features The 2020 Charger SRT Hellcat is built to perform and equipped with everything it needs to do it well. Each engine comes with an 8-speed automatic and a rear-wheel drive system. It’s getting a new suspension and a new electric power steering system that will improve driver experience. As the top trim level for the Charger line-up, the SRT Hellcat will be the most desirable version for those looking for the best drive. All in all, the 2020 Charger SRT Hellcat will carry on the high level of performance we’ve come to expect from its name. Improved Tech The interior of the 2020 Hellcat may not see major changes, but its tech will be the best it’s ever been. A 7-inch touch-screen display will give you information about how your Charger is performing, as well as keep you entertained and connected to the outside world. Driver-assisting technologies such as lane departure warning and blind spot monitoring help you stay more aware of what’s happening outside your Charger. With features like these, the Charger has both brawn and brains.The Charger has long been one of the top names in American muscle. When it’s released to the world, visit our team at Jim Shorkey CDJR North Hills to experience this pony car for yourself. We can’t wait to see what else this icon will hold when it gets here.

If you love the off-beat and unusual, Pittsburgh is a great place to be. The opportunities for oddities in Steel City are bountiful. There’s something for everyone’s strange palate, whether you’re into architecture, natural science, history, or you simply enjoy the weirder aspects of humanity. Here are some of the best unusual places in and around Pittsburgh, Pa. more Robot Hall of Fame Visit the robots that made a difference in our world at the Robot Hall of Fame. The RHOF awards, which have been awarded since 2003, are to commemorate robotic achievements in science, industry, and society. Past inductees include R2-D2 from Star Ways, a Roomba, the Spirit and Opportunity Mars rovers, and more. Get the chance to see many of these robots, which are standing proudly on display, at the permanent exhibit at the Carnegie Science Center’s roboworld. Monongahela Incline If you’ve never taken a ride on a funicular, you’re missing out. If you’ve never heard of a funicular, it’s a small railway system that takes passengers up and down steep inclines via cable and pulley systems. Pittsburgh is home to two funiculars. The Monongahela is the oldest operating funicular in the United States. It’s been taking people up Mount Washington since 1870. The other one, the Duquesne, is a mile away from the Monongahela. Cathedral of Learning If you’re a fan of interesting buildings and architecture, you’re a fan of the Cathedral of Learning. This University of Pittsburgh building’s doors were opened in 1937. A marvel of neo-Gothic architecture, the Cathedral rises 535 feet into the Pittsburgh skyline. It’s home to the Nationality Rooms, which showcase classrooms designed in the style of countries all over the world. The Cathedral’s main hall looks like the inside of a centuries-old European Catholic cathedral. Center for PostNatural History To see a museum full of mankind’s effects on the natural world, head over to the Center for PostNatural History. Get the chance to see rodents affected by the Atomic Age, genetically altered organisms, and more. This museum’s broad focus is on humans’ relationships with plants and animals. Where else can you see an E. coli specimen and a live goat that’s been genetically modified to produce spider silk protein in their milk? Likely not many other places. Oh, it’s Freckles — the goat’s name is Freckles. The Weeping Glass If you’re looking for a gift shop that has those harder-to-find items you’ve been looking for, the Weeping Glass deserves a visit. Small taxidermy animals, creepy dolls, and more macabre items line the shelves of this unique shop. The Weeping Glass also serves as an event space, where you can peruse vendors’ weird wares, watch sideshow performers, and listen to live music after the sun goes down in Allentown. This is a fantastically unusual shop to visit, whether you’re feeling morbid or not. Get out and explore your world. See something new and strange or beautiful and one-of-a-kind. If you think something’s missing from this list, let us know. We’re always looking for another unusual attraction to visit. Image via Flickr by Always Shooting
