All the magazine reviews picked the ZL1 over the GT500 because it is a more balanced car that you could actually live with as a daily driver that is also repeatable over an extended period of hard use. That is real world.
Doesn't mean that I don't want more power or that the Hellcat won't be a absolute terror. I do and it will.

Most high performance car owners do not race at all.
They buy their car for the image that racers created.
This is why cars like the CTS-V were created. You know a version of the CTS has ass-raped it's competition. So you buy the car it looks like a CTS-V.
It is no mistake that the CTS-V looks a lot like the CTS. That is the point.
Don't be surprised that only a hotrodder will be able to tell a Challenger from a Hellcat. That is the point.
