The new FGT is definitely NOT intended to be a 'muscle car' and it is even less a 'ricer'.

Neither white rice nor brown. Maybe saffron! Cool anyway!

Don't disagree. It's a very cool car. "Sounds" like a ricer certainly isn't one. It's more an exotic and the 300k pricing and availability spells that out.

Certainly out of my league ..

Does it come with the A10? Very few cars do from what I am told.

Last I heard was that it would have a 7 speed DCT. No manual transmission will be offered.

Agree but if you are showing your tail lights to everyone then they get to hear it more.

Function > Sound

Watch this and tell me what you think it sounds like (make sure your sound is up) - I think it sounds angry and menacing. (Wish GM would do some similar enthusiast advertising for the new ZL1 and 6G Camaro in general!)



And, while weight of the Hellcat to some may be seen as a 'downfall', Dodge knew what they were doing and what they had to work with. The big cat may weigh over 2 tons but it also has been laying waste to a lot of competitors in both sales and on the streets/strips around the country. It might be heavy but it should never be taken lightly.
Hmmmm, that sounds pretty sweet to my ears. Too bad the price will be so far out there.

Agreed but that motor in a GT-350R chassis would be really good.

For 300k+ if someone is actually able
To get one you better be showing your tail lights to others ...

It only beat it around half the road courses, not worth mentioning

I surely don't remember it being half??? It did post better times at courses that had long straights. However the handling was not on par with the ZL1 and the brakes were an issue. It was much more work for the driver on a track than the ZL1.

Yeah, it was half.

Sure, the handling wasn't exactly on par but it wasn't that far behind.

If the Gt500 has a TTv6, it doesn't matter how much power it has, I could not care less about it.

I don't think Ford would make that mistake. I'm betting it will have a TTv8
