And the Hellcat IMO is by far the better every day fun car.... Now that being said if you ever get started with tracking your car then the Camaro is the easy winner. Don’t believe all the bench racers saying a Challenger can’t go around curves because that’s just completely wrong or pure fanboy-ism. It can’t keep up on a road course with most of the Camaro’s but on public roads it is more than capable of cornering faster than you probably ought to be going. No one can make your decision but you , but I can say in my experience the Challenger is the better car for me personally. But you could ask my wife this same question and she’s gonna say Camaro every time. It’s a personal decision with no wrong answer. Here are our 2 cars.

Thank you for the response. I appreciate the info! I’m leaning towards the hellcat because of the deal and all I’ve owned in the last few years have been Camaros and corvettes.

Depends what you want. I prefer to pull G's in the corner then in a straight line.

I wouldn’t pay 43 k for a 2015 no matter what it is, Camaro is 2 years newer. Camaro wins. For 43 k get a 18 2ss

43k for a 3 year old Dodge. Oh hell no. I don't care how many horsepower it has.

Haha I can hear the Camaro bias now. Thanks for the input guys.

No road course? Hellcat. If you're fine dealing with their headaches.

SecondZ28 · 08-18-2018, 09:28 PM

Hellcat

DenverTaco07 · 08-18-2018, 09:39 PM

I'll just say, what an awesome problem to have.

good luck!

I believe you have to baby the clutch on the hc.

Just wait a month or two and you’ll see them around more. Several have sold on this forum for 33-34k. Prices are always higher in the summer.,

Headaches? I’m aware of a supercharger bearing wine...clutch isn’t super strong.....anything else?

Tough choice but as others have said 2015 vs 2017 and 10K would make the choice for me unless the Challenger is really nice looking. I saw a new Challenger Yellow Jacket 392 I would love to have. I know I am shallow. Same way with Women.
