Love the look of the Challenger, unless you are looking at it from behind and see the pizza cutter tires they stick under it. You would think with the car being so big they could've found a couple more inches in the trunk for fatter tires.
And as far as the Hellcat goes, it's gonna be in the really high 5 figure mark, possibly 6, which gives plenty of money to throw at the Z to get an easy 800 HP.
Love the interior in the Challenger also.

Challenger is a nice car but just can't compare it to a ZL1.

I don't know about that. New one has a eight speed auto. With hellcat its over 640HP and looks as good or better then a ZL1. Add to it they a number of color choices including green and blue. In 2015 model year Dodge has allot to offer.

Please don't be too hard on GM. I also have a mopar vehicle and have had a recall on it for almost a year now and can't get t repaired because they can't get the parts from the manufacturer. Plus they keep sending me notices to get it fixed, but the dealer hasn't seen parts in months.

You're worried about quality issues and now you want a Chrysler? Good luck.

Been on this forum for years. Just call it as I see it. Hellcat at over 600+ HP will decimate the ZL1.

Until it has to turn. Not to mention it isn't even a real car yet.

I am pushing 580 RWHP and that is with a bad tune and I think they are going to be tough to beat. I know from experience Dodge has always underrated their engines so if they are saying 640 it will be north of that number.
