Since I am an old f@rt, I have driven high horsepower cars, including 750 hp 14:1 427 Galaxies, that were a handful, but fun. I liked driving the 505 hp 2015 Z28 because of the power to weight and handling balance. Actually the 2016-17 SSs are nice to drive, but I am waiting to see how the ZL1 puts the power down. Dodge dealers are telling me Hellcats have skinny tires for the power and think the 392 Scat Packs are better balanced with power and drivability. I have driven the 2015 ZL1 that seem to float too much fore and aft because of the heavy weight. The Z28 was more to my liking but 505 hp wasn't actually enough for me. The 2016 SSs seem to run nearly as well as the Z28s though. So I am waiting for a ZL1 to see what I think. Even the 1LE is an option too. I drove a Scat Pack 392 in LA a few days ago and it was heavy like the 2015 ZL1. But it had a steel block, something that I like since I might blow a head gasket or two with how I drive sometimes. I really wish they would put a 1500 hp rated steel LSX block in ZL1! That would be nice!
