Don't get me wrong I have been on a road course before and more power to the people that like that, but the majority care about straight line acceleration.. Ford put line lock in the 15 Mustang, when does that get used on a road course? 99% percent of you tube videos are from a dig, roll or 1/4 mile track and very few road courses.
I recommend reading it in context and not focusing on one word. I said "But just as the GT500 lost to the ZL1 in magazine reviews, the hellcat will do the same if it can't hook or turn."

You must have missed the part where I was referencing the fact that the magazine reviewers aren't just focused on straight line or pure advertised HP. And must have missed that I said can't HOOK or turn.

Although I probably don't agree 100% with any one reviewer, it's hard to argue that their collective reviews don't represent the collective buyers same thoughts. And the collective reviews pretty clearly stated the ability to turn was a win.

We'll have to wait and see how the hellcat performs once it is released. At this point it still has something to prove beyond HP.
