Car camping with a bunch of race fans is always fun, and I have done so on Pikes Peak using vehicles ranging from a <A href="http://autoweek.com/article/car-reviews/2015-lexus-gx460-luxury-race-reporter-review" target="_blank">Lexus GX460</A> to a <A href="http://autoweek.com/article/car-life/heading-pikes-peak-caged-checker-marathon-race-car" target="_blank">fully caged 1978 Checker Marathon race car</A>.</P><P>For <A href="http://autoweek.com/article/racing/race-14115-feet-our-big-2017-pikes-peak-hill-climb-photo-gallery" target="_blank">the 2017 event</A>, I decided practicality didn't matter as much as <EM>inspiring awe</EM> among the race officials and fans, so I drove from Denver and up the mountain in a Destroyer Gray <A href="http://autoweek.com/article/car-reviews/2015-dodge-challenger-srt-hellcat-first-drive" target="_blank">2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat</A>.</P>

Photo by Murilee Martin</P>
<P>I had a friend flying in from California to cover the race for <A href="http://www.carplushk.com/" target="_blank">CarPlus Hong Kong</A>, and so I needed to bring camping equipment for two. The Challenger, being a fairly big car, had enough trunk space for <EM>some</EM> of our stuff, but a minivan or SUV would have been made this part of the adventure a bit easier.</P>
<FIGURE><IMG src="http://hanabi.autoweek.com/sites/default/files/styles/gen-738-415/public/_MG_6794.JPG?itok=RhqrdBPm"><FIGCAPTION>2017 Dodge Challenger Hellcat at Pikes Peak Hill Climb pits</FIGCAPTION></FIGURE> <P class="">Nobody paid much attention to it on the highway, but racers and spectators on the mountain were impressed by the Hellcat. Photo by Murilee Martin</P>
<P>Driving the 70 miles between my house and Pikes Peak, I learned that the Hellcat is a well-behaved, reasonably normal— if noisy— car if you are gentle on the throttle. Giving it a hair too much throttle while turning, however, will liquefy the tires and send the rear end kicking out like a '73 Satellite with a tunnel-rammed 440 doing donuts in a Megadeth-concert parking lot in 1985; the difference is that the mulleted gentleman roasting the Satellite's tires while <A href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mKG3n19GdJI" target="_blank">"The Conjuring"</A> cranks out of his Sparkomatic cassette deck had his foot <EM>mashed</EM> on the throttle, while the Hellcat makes that kind of power happen at about one-third throttle. Strangely, the Hellcat got no attention on the highway, but that all changed when it rumbled into the pits at Pikes Peak, the afternoon before the race.</P>
<FIGURE><IMG src="http://hanabi.autoweek.com/sites/default/files/styles/gen-738-415/public/20170624_172650.jpg?itok=1435zfCm"><FIGCAPTION>2017 Dodge Challenger Hellcat at Glen Cove parking area on Pikes Peak</FIGCAPTION></FIGURE> <P class="">We got the VIP treatment when parking at the campsite. Photo by Murilee Martin</P>
<P>In the pit area on Saturday, and then in the parking lot at the Glen Cove camping area, the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb staffers let me park the car in the choicest spots, and everybody wanted to take a look at the engine. Even the European Porsche fanatics and motorcycle geeks were impressed. I think something Japanese, vintage, and rally-centric, like a Mazda 323 GTX, would have had an even higher approval rating in this setting, but not by much.</P>
<FIGURE><IMG src="http://hanabi.autoweek.com/sites/default/files/styles/gen-738-415/public/IMG_7331_0.JPG?itok=dj4zCmjz"><FIGCAPTION>2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat on Pikes Peak</FIGCAPTION></FIGURE> <P class="">Even well above the treeline, where humans and naturally-aspirated engines gasp for oxygen, the Hellcat has way more power than you need. Photo by Murilee Martin</P>
<P>I wasn't about to be <EM>that dumb car writer</EM> who tumbled a new Hellcat down the side of a mountain while engaged in idiotic hoonery, so I kept a very light foot on the throttle while driving up to the summit on the day before the race. With the laughable power overkill, sticky tires, big ol' Brembo brakes, and stiff suspension, I'll bet this car could climb Pikes respectably quickly with a pro driver at the wheel (<EM>hint, hint, FCA</EM>). </P>
<FIGURE><IMG src="http://hanabi.autoweek.com/sites/default/files/styles/gen-738-415/public/20170624_184926%280%29.jpg?itok=u4dX13HT"><FIGCAPTION>Camping at Glen Cove, Pikes Peak</FIGCAPTION></FIGURE> <P class="">Yes, a Hellcat can carry enough camping equipment to make for a fairly luxurious mountain campsite. Photo by Murilee Martin</P>
<P>I was worried that the Hellcat's not-so-generous ground clearance would cause problems at the camping area, but this turned out to be all asphalt and no problem. After carrying all our gear up the hill to the campsite and setting up the tents, I prepared a Coleman-stove meal of gnocchi with mushroom sauce.</P>

Photo by Murilee Martin</P>
<P>I <A href="http://autoweek.com/article/racing/race-14115-feet-our-big-2017-pikes-peak-hill-climb-photo-gallery" target="_blank">shot a lot of photos of the race</A> the next day, then joined the hours-long traffic jam of spectators and competitors leaving the mountain when it was all over. The Hellcat didn't even <EM>think</EM> about overheating while idling in an endless stop-and-go creep back down to the highway. We live in the Golden Age of Engines, a time in which 707-horsepower V8s behave docilely in traffic and get well into the double digits in fuel economy.</P>
<FIGURE><IMG src="http://hanabi.autoweek.com/sites/default/files/styles/gen-738-415/public/20170630_102422.jpg?itok=0Eg0TGqW"><FIGCAPTION>2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat with Chevelle SS</FIGCAPTION></FIGURE> <P class="">The car on the left has about half the horsepower and weighs about 1,200 pounds less than the car on the right. Photo by Murilee Martin</P>
<P>Later, I got to thinking about the <EM>point</EM> of the Hellcat, especially when I encountered a Chevelle SS 454 convertible (a clone, but with a real big-block and manual transmission) in a Denver parking lot. The muscle cars of the 1960s were smaller, lighter, and <EM>much</EM> less powerful than their 2017 descendants. They handled like cement mixers, overheated in traffic, reeked of leaking fuel and unconsumed hydrocarbons, and suffered from total brake-fade in a single hard deceleration… and yet the uncivilized and, well, <EM>pointless</EM> nature of, say, a 1968 Plymouth Road Runner with 383 engine makes it a lot more fun. I'd like to see FCA stuff a supercharged or turbocharged Pentastar V6 into some unsuspecting member of the Fiat Compact Platform family, for a brutish, torque-steering, uncontrollable front-wheel-drive monster that would make the eager-to-crash Neon SRT4 seem like a tedious rental econobox by comparison.</P>

It can be had with a six-speed manual, but most people will probably stick with the paddle-shifted automatic.</P><P><STRONG>Our Opinion:</STRONG> I’ve said it a million times: I love the Mazda 6. I love mostly everything about the car. I’ll get to the "mostly" part in a sec but for now I say there isn’t a better non-German, non-luxury midsize sedan on the market.</P><P>Mazda’s Kodo design is a welcome change from the competition’s commonplace shapes. Scanning Mazda’s site, there isn’t a car or crossover Mazda offers I don't think looks good. The 6’s long hood and short-ish rear deck, good-looking creases and just the right of chrome help the styling stay new and fresh. The interior looks good, too, and is plenty roomy, comfortable and well built with good materials. Most things within touch range are soft. The brightwork is just a single piece of smooth aluminum-look plastic -- just right. The controls are intuitive and the seats comfortable. Mark Vaughn once wrote “circumstances might force you to buy a car this size and for this cost, but you don’t have to sacrifice sculptural automotive design to get it.”</P><P>Right on.</P><P>The 6’s four is smooth and responsive and 184 hp feels right. There’s some real poke in Sport mode above 3,000 rpm.</P><P>As midsize sedans go you don’t often hear the word "fun." Sometimes, but not always. I submit the 6 is definitely fun. The excellent chassis makes this car among the best front-drivers on the market. It’s that simple. It’s certainly the stiffest front-drive chassis I recall. The ride/handling is excellent -- taut with flat cornering and fine body control around town. The 6 is also a fast, quiet freeway blaster.</P><P>I do have one nit: I don’t like head up display. When I jump into a car it’s usually the first thing I turn off. In the 6 if you don’t want the head-up display on, you have to turn it off every time you start the car. I’ve whined about this before. That’s it. Love everything else about it.</P><P>That 6s start at about $22,000 continues to blow my mind, even if our loaded tester topped $34K.</P><P><EM>--Wes Raynal, editor</EM></P>
