Would you take a hellcat over 1le

[backeddy]

Kinda like a track suspension on a street car? certainly not necessary, but nice to have.

Especially since A LOT OF US track our cars...IF I was going to spend the $$ of a hellcat, just to be cool (because that is all it is good for IMHO), I would buy a Ferrari 360 coupe again, because like the 1LE, THAT IS A FANTASTIC CAR!

Define "a lot of us". Of the five SS's with the 1LE package owners that I know in my local area, NONE of them track their cars. They do show up at all the cruise-ins though. I think you will find a lot of people talk about tracking their cars, but very few of them do. I know from personal experience it is not a cheap thing to do.

Neither . 2016 ZO6 C7R . For the money you can't beat a Chevy . And as far as looks ,and performance the Vette is still the king .

No Hellcat for me, the 1LE rocks, and if I had to choose it would be a Z/28, ZO6 or ATS-V not necessarily in that order. The GT350R looks to have raised the bar for Mustang.

Hell yea, Hellcat Challenger way to go.

[Punisher80]

Probably would not trade for one, definitely would not want a Hellcat Charger, that thing is fugly!

No one with a stock 1LE has a track suspension. True racing springs are 20X stiffer than OEM equivalents and there isn't a street car made today, not even the La Ferrari/P1/918 hyper-cars, that has a true track suspension.

What we have in the 1LE, is a real street suspension. Which is very very usable. 700HP, not so much. I was happy with 180HP in my previous fun car and even the 426 of the 1LE is too much.

And I love my 1LE. Just sayin'

As long as you're not going around a corner... Twice the car... Really?!!! For a drag car sure, but to say otherwise is just plain ignorant... And before you get your panties in a wad, ignorant is not an insult, it means uninformed.

[321LATER]

Not sure if I can help other than to say it is a matter of personal preference and how you plan on using the car. Drag racing......Hellcat all the way.....track racing I would prefer to stick with my ZL1......looks ... Camaro all the way.....Daily driver...Camaro...

Make a list of pros and cons and get a feel for the cars...then make your own decision....

Good luck and you will not go wrong if you chose what you like...

As far as trading, no thank you. I like all of the muscle cars, but I chose the 1LE for a reason. I checked out the 2015 Corvettes, but to me, they are no longer muscle cars; they compete with the supercars now. I enjoy the ride, performance and looks of my 1LE, and boy does she ever get a lot of looks. I would definitely take a Hellcat, but not over my 1LE. Now... offer me a 1967 Corvette 427 with 4 on the floor and see what happens :-)

Why does it matter how many "looks" you get? Is that something that is important to you? I assume so since you listed it with other aspect such as the ride and performance. Personally, I would never buy a car based on what other people might think of it.

Personally, if I were to buy one, the first thing I would do it remove the ugly black vinyl hood wrap, as I think it makes the car look cheap. Not a big fan of the black wheels, either, but I could at least live with them.

i will take hellcat over 1le all day, and sell it very next day and buy me 1le and buy me a twin turbo kit lol

I have never heard before that the wrap looks cheap. It is very functional if you track the car.
