Handling is something that everybody wants.

Don't think so? Actually drive a 60's car on the street and get back with me. My last one was a '68 327 Elky. Loved that car, but when a warning sign said 40mph corner, I'd go 30. And I left a LOT of following distance in traffic.

That being said, all that is expected of the Hellcat is safe handling. Nobody is buying a boat for roadracing.

The current Camaro offerings, all of them, are competent corner carvers. Dodge is so far out of the loop in this area as to be laughable.

But seriously, nobody is expecting a 2015 Challenger to keep up with a base 2010 V6 Camaro in the twisties. At least nobody I know.
