BOTB – Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Winner – video

 

Sheena first fell in love with American muscle cars after she was upgraded to a Dodge Challenger on a US driving holiday last year. It had such an impact, Sheena and her boyfriend Orin not only booked another road trip later this year, they also started entering the BOTB competition to try and win one! Sheena becomes Dream Car winner number 314 and shed tears of joy when we presented her with the 700bhp beast earlier this morning as she was welcoming breakfast diners to the restaurant where she works. We hope her manager gives her the rest of the day off to celebrate – congratulations Sheena!
