Coming from a 1LE and ZL1 owner I'd be the first to embarrass you at either or if given the chance.

Seriously, though...They have better uses for their money than to pay for what would amount to a Hype man....like...suspension development at the Nurburgring, for example.

I'm not sure why you've singled me out when many others in here share the same sort of opinions. But my opinion (and that's all it is) is besides the point:

The Hellcat IS heavy, brutally so. Challenger/Charger is 350-450 lbs heavier than the outgoing ZL1 which itself, was considered heavy...It does not handle at the levels that the rest of the class does. Nor should it...it was built to go fast in a straight line. That isn't a knock...just a clear understanding of its purpose. Note that I've never said it couldn't turn, or exaggerated anything. Every car with 4 wheels can do that.

I don't "face" anything on the road...sorry, not programmed that way...'fast' menaces can go roll on down the road without me next to them. Now, at the track...I've never seen a Challenger of any variant at a road course I've been to...I'm sure they're out there, somewhere. But no...never had the pleasure.

Finally...you seem offended to find these statements on the internet, which surprises me...perhaps you misread the forum title?
