Mustang, Challenger, Camaro all have plus and minus.

I believe center of gravity on challenger would be higher than all, Camaro lower than all.

I'm more than happy with a 650HP LT4, with a lower center of gravity in a lighter car.

Can't wait to see what it looks like.

9000 dealer orders or customer orders? Big difference.

Something that would bother me ordering a hellcat would be some of the issues that have already surfaced. If they can't build them fast enough now speeding up production would make me leary.

Yes indeed, a humble pickup. A Dodge Ram 1500 Hemi w/supercharger to be more precise. And it cost me 500 horses. Time to come down off yours.

I guess it doesn't really matter as there are none that you can really buy for MSRP as the demand is so big.

I am with you all in hoping the new Camaro is a step up over the old one. But I wouldn't sell Dodge so short. They have made the most of their old, heavy Mercedes platform. The interior is high quality and options are very up to date. The 2015 refresh for the Challenger and Charger are spot on, and they both look bad ass. They spent quite a bit of development $$ with improved suspensions and great brakes. The Hellcat is not far off a ZL1 on a road course. While it will not be running down a Z/28 in the curves it is a good handling car even at 4,500 pounds.

Road track times mean little to most muscle pony buyers, but they do want a good handling car with good brakes. Dodge paid attention.

Also they have struck gold with marketing the Hellcat. For all those who can't afford or even order a Hellcat they are getting rub off sales from the bad kitty once the buyer is in the showroom. They have both 2 and 4 door muscle to show buyers. And the Scat Packs are mid to low 12 second cars with great handling and brakes for under $40K. I am sure Chevy has noticed but the 2016 CA6 is pretty much in the can now.
