The Hellcat is under tire-d and the Redeye too expensive. I also don’t like the fender flares. The base GT500 is fast and didn’t ignore handling and proper cooling completely. No manual doesn’t bother me because cars with this much power (and weight) can’t make use of it with a manual. The only thing the sinks the GT500 is ADM and that they won’t see discounts after the first year hype settles.

The ADM is the real show stopper, though, and on that I agree with you. It will be at least 2021 before the average customer can walk in a dealer and buy a base GT500 at MSRP. Many dealers will never give up ADM, like they're still asking it on GT350s now, which will mean traveling to buy, or having a car shipped. |

All hypothetical given the Chevy discounts and Ford ADMs. So crazy... Edit: I mean $84K. So $16K... alright starting to get too expensive to justify. |

Yup. Along with the instant boost. Any light touch of the throttle and it is instantly in boost, downshifts, and blasts off!! I really don't mind if the 500 is faster on a roll on. The Hellcats and REs are faster than the ZL1 on a roll also. Still doesn't make the ZL1 any less of a monster. And I'd keep my ZL1 over my Hellcat if one had to go.

I agree with pretty much everything that's been said on this page lol. GT500 base at MSRP is where it's at. CFTP not so much. ZL1 still insane value, GT500 needs to be optioned to match standard content.
This is just me and I know I am probably in the vast majority. I am glad the GT500 doesn't have Recaro seats standard. With a body shape of lets just say round lol, I find Recaros very uncomfortable . |

But they're also quite rigid, so if you're much bigger than a 46 coat size at the waistline then they aren't going to be near as comfortable as the Corvette, Dodge and Ford offerings. |

I am sure they do hold you in place, that's what they are supposed to do haha. Just every car I have been in with Recaros I feel like I am getting stuffed into a can of tuna lol. So having that kind of seat as optional to me is a + lol
