If you are going to jump ship, wait for the new GT350.

One showed up in my driveway last night and I got a run down of the specs and went for a ride. Ford just raised the bar......can't wait to see the Gen 6 specs on Saturday.

I would get the hellcat charger as long as it's a daily driver.

Is this a trick question? The answer would be a resounding YES!

I saw the Youtube video with Jay Leno having fun in the auto... it really changed my perspective on it.

Without question I would snatch up a Hellcat! Not to mention, it's by far the roomiest car out of the Mustang, Camaro and Challenger. Best visibility and that thing sounds MEAN on a fly by.

Fast forward to about 35 seconds

Hellcat for sure. I had a ZL1 and while it was a nice car, it was still just a Camaro. There's something about having a stock car that produces over 700hp that just screams awesomeness! Plus the fact that the Hellcat is an 11 sec 1/4 car is also pretty insane for such a large boat (as some people would put it).

As a Camaro 1LE owner the comments about the weight of our cars gets old. Probably along the same lines that a hellcat is a straight line car only.

As someone that drove a Hellcat at Grattan that a long time friend named Ralph something or another brought to the track I can tell you it handles just fine on a road course. With a set of race tires it will not disappoint.

Neither video here is mine, but I drove this car on the same day these were shot.

Anyone wondering about Hellcat should watch this video from MotorTrend in my opinion:


I think it looks gorgeous, and would make an excellent daily driver, or even a weekend car. The role of track car is a bit of a stretch, but we have the 1LE for that : )

I'm seriously considering this car for my wife, so I could give my daughters and myself (safe) thrill rides every now and then
