Interesting thread. I'm literally considering a Hellcat Challenger or ZL1 purchase this winter and I'm not sure what to go with.
Honestly insurance numbers and winter deals may be what pushes me towards one or the other - assuming I get what I expect in the test drive (which I refuse to do until October or I'll have one too soon).
With the ZL1 A10:
- Sport car sexy looks
- great seats but not useable rear (can you even fit a car seat? not that I have kids yet....)
- Great handling and power but more refined than the old muscle cars.
Hellcat
- Raw muscle feel and the old school look that I do love
- Rear seats useable for adults and trunk space that rivals an SUV (well not quite but pretty damn close)
- Handling isn't great but fine for the streets
- Crappy tires but easily fixed which at least makes it fast enough to not matter when comparing to the ZL1
- Cat exhaust probably sounds a bit meaner stock
Insurance quotes are out with my agent now and I can't wait for October for the test drive. I decided it was time for a v8 american car before wife pushes kids and they disappear - coming from BMW/Audi/LExus it's a big change.
Funny though Mustang isn't even in contention due to their lack of ZL1/Hellcat offering. Unless I want to consider taking a base GT dropping in a supercharger and other upgades in after 2500 miles and modding it to hell.
