I'm torn on the Challenger lineup. 1) I think they look cool overall, and they look great from some angles. However, IMO straight on from the rear is a weak point, visually. They are shaped too much like a truck and rather large. 2) I think they are diluting the Hellcats by offering the same exact exterior features on the 392 models. I wish the Hellcats were more easily differentiated from their lesser brethren, and I'm not even an owner of one. A revised front fascia, different exhaust tips, updated rear valance, maybe some updated tail-lights, are just a few ideas. Heck, the hoods on the 392 Hemi models are the same as earlier Hellcat hoods. 3) Despite what people say, they are not good drag or straight line cars. Ever seen the weight of a Hellcat? 4,520+ lbs. A car being nearly as heavy as a 3-row crossover/SUV does not equal a good drag car. That is why a 3,900 lbs 650 hp A10 ZL1 can keep up with one from a roll, and destroy one from a dig (54%/46% weight dist. for the ZL1, vs 57/43 for the Hellcat). Sure, with enough power, anything can be fast I suppose.

Anyway, I am not that interested in owning a Hellcat or any Challenger trim, but I am glad they are making them because variety is good.
