Just what they need a more powerful, heavier Challenger that can't turn... I will stick with the Camaro!

It is nice to be the second Golden Age of cars!
Dodge says:

Quote:
“Most cars attempt to be everything to everybody. Then there are the rare few that revel in a single objective, rendering them totally irresistible to a subculture,” said Tim Kuniskis, head of Dodge, SRT, Chrysler and Fiat passenger car brands for FCA North America, in a release. “The Dodge Challenger SRT Demon is conceived, designed and engineered for a subculture of enthusiasts who know that a tenth is a car and a half second is your reputation.”
So all in all, they don't give a crap about "turning". At least not for this car. It has a clear purpose.

Look...don't get me wrong. I love the Camaro b/c I think it is the best all around car. It does everything performance-wise very well. It is the best handler outside of possibly the GT350R. The 1LE and ZL1 are amazing. I agree with you there.

But I hate when folks talk like the Hellcat and the Demon sucks b/c it isn't a corner carver. Who cares. The car is a damn monster made to stomp everything in acceleration. Its not like these cars don't handle just fine for regular or even slightly sporty street driving anyways.
