Agreed but "everyone" wants an AWD, V8, Super light, vehicle. 5K is what it costs.
And I am telling you straight faced, my Challenger Scat Wide could hang with a lot of "light weights" in the normal road twisties. I know, I have done it.
People need to stop looking at the raw numbers and look at the raw capability of modern cars.
Could my ZL1 out run the Scat to the top of Little Switzerland? ABSOLUTELY, - I did it, but in normal everyday life and not cutting to the edge? No. And it is the same reason the Mustang out sells the Camaro year after year.
EDIT: so the stop light wins will go to the Charger, and that is all you will hear about
off soap box
