So for those reasons I would choose the Hellcat.

Go back and re-read my comments. I never said that. But trust me, if I really did think that, I would have no problem saying it here or anywhere else.


Why would you think your personal preference hurts my feelings? That is pretty immature. Hey, you're not a fan of the GT500. That's your thing. I wasn't for years. I was the biggest hater of this car. You obviously don't know my reputation around here but go to the VS section and look back at all my comments from 2017 to now. Trust me, I have said more about these cars than you. There are several members here who can vouch for that. And I know more about these cars than you. So you talking trash about the GT500 doesn't bother me one bit. It ain't for everyone. I mean, we all have our preferences. I wouldn't have wasted my time and money doing those little mods you did to your ZL1 but that's MY preference. I had the money to afford some real mods so that was the route I took. Your budget is different than mine so you did what little you could. I wouldn't have gone that route but like I said, preference.

I made comments directly related to the thread. OP himself noticed my cars and asked me about them. So my answers are contributing to the thread. Nobody is doing anything wrong here. If I came on here talking about my cars then yes, that would be derailing the thread.
Thanks for the input. I'm not bias with the cars. I wish I could own all 3, but I have to pick one. The GT500 just happens to be exactly as fast as I want it in stock form, so I'd be able to buy it, get an extended warranty and just simply enjoy it. I also like the more roomy feeling cockpit and better visibility. I had a 2014 GT500 as well which was awesome, and the newer one seems to improve upon everything of the older one. The ZL1, I love the chassis, the seats, the "fighter jet" feel. Just wish it had a bit more oomph. I love the Hellcat looks also, and the powerhouse of an engine.

One thing I personally like about the ZL1 and GT500 over the Hellcat is the fact that the engine and car are made in the USA. The plaque with the engine builder on the engine is an awesome touch. The Hellcats are made in Canada and the engines are made in Mexico.
