...if you want to compare performance numbers, well, the GT500 retains it's title of the highest hp, worst performing car in the world.

It's all about GMs next move! And it probably won't be until at least 17. On a side note anyone hear if we will be able to upgrade to the new 4G on star?

Had a chance to read the article, what I find surprising is how overall they kept saying the camaro was better at this, better at that, yet chose the Challenger as the victor

HP is fun and it has 707
ZL1 would be killer if it came stock as 700

As I read and now reread the article, seems like the GT500 vs ZL1 all over again, they say the camaro does just about everything better, but this time they picked the Challenger

The big thing I got from the article is the hellcat needs better and wider rear rubber!

Because more people oggled the Challenger than the Camaro. I attribute that to two things
The Hellcat is the latest and greatest and the ZL1 has been around since 2012, and the Hellcat was the bright Green and the Camaro was Silver, you have to admit that green jumps out and grabs attention while the silver is a blend into the background color.

Bottom line. If you can afford one, great. Pick one drive it and enjoy it. I dont care if you have 580HP or 707HP, it's still too much for a stree car.

Long live American Muscle.

Might want to try and explain your opinion to the numerous members on here that counter that exact claim by modding their cars. Having owned mine since December 2012. I have changed my mind as I once had your opinion, 580HP is not enough once you learn how to drive this car. I haven't driven a 707HP vehicle yet!
