Dodge prioritized straight-line speed over handling in its pony cars, focusing development on increasing power rather than cornering ability. This strategy was a sales success despite being environmentally irresponsible. Unfortunately, Dodge never developed a factory convertible version, leaving enthusiasts to rely on aftermarket modifications. A prime example is the 2023 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Jailbreak convertible for sale on Cars & Bids, featuring an eye-watering amount of power and a top speed nearing 200 mph with the top down. Despite concerns about safety and chassis rigidity, the seller assures reinforcement has been added. With only 40 miles on the odometer, this car is already a collector's item, commanding high bids in its auction. The automatic transmission and pristine condition add to its appeal, promising an exhilarating driving experience.
