Hellcat is a unique animal. Too heavy, reasonable but not great track performance and too little tire to really put that power to the pavement. It's a number king and that's about it IMO.

CTS-V will be competing with M5s and AMGs. Even these competitors aren't concerned about the Hellcat because they understand that none and I mean very nearly zero of the folks buying M5s and AMGs are cros shopping the Hellcat anymore than ZL1s or GT500s.

And I am very much looking forward to seeing what an LT4 powered CTS-V does, but I am pretty sure it will destroy a Hellcat everywhere but the 1/4 mile and even then they should be close.
