Chevy built a very capable track car but guess what that's not what people want and the sales prove it. They spent all their time making sure this generation would be a corner carver but forgot to make it an actual car that people would want to use as a daily driver and it shows with the lousy trunk space, poor visibility, and virtually no leg room for anyone in the rear seat.

You are not wrong, but there is a factor of relevancy here. Everybody isn't driving a top model. In Detroit, Chargers and Challengers are a dime a dozen. And even though you'll probably see more Hellcats here than anywhere else on the planet, I come across more R/Ts and ScatPacks than anything else. I smoked an R/T in a BMW I3 EV. And I made a ScatPack shift lanes when he thought he could pull me when I was behind him at a light. My little SS vert ain't a-scared o' no Dodge that ain't a Hellcat.

Similarly, there are probably more GT350s here than just about anywhere except LA and more than a few GT500s. Most are Mustang EcoBoosts and 5.0s. Not worried about any of them. Sure there are some Mustangs with Whipples that will pull the paint off my hood, but then they're s'posed to do that. Stock for stock, I like my chances with any similarly equipped Mustang GT vert.
