Most people just won't be able to fully utilize those differences short of a road course. Just like someone would not be able to fully utilize the power of the HC short of the strip.....legally and safely.
I fully understand your points.....IMHO, the Hellcat twins were FCA wonders for what they had to work with.
People that Bash them need to understand that they actually handle ALOT better than expected for something that size, and the insane, seemingly unending, amount of HP that it makes, is unreal!
