Great clip! What's interesting is Sir Jackie sounds like he's explaining how to drive in the snow to a new driver. Smooth is virtually always both safer and faster.

Better ... how?
These should both be viewed as fun street cars. There are a whole bunch of cars in this price range that are way better track cars. Starting with ... jeeze, are you gonna make me say it??
Porsche Cayman - starting at $53K. Get a track car if tracking is a major criteria. Right??

Awesome car! But heyll no would I pay any markups....  |
Dealers here in MI, MSRP no problem.
If you had to have the very first one, yeah, there were the rich guys gladly handing over 20 large to be the first. Which, in MI, makes no sense since they came out in the fall and now it's sitting in a garage with a car cover on it.
No matter, though, as 15,000 HellCat motors are slated for build in calendar year 2015. They'll be sittin' around on lots just like ZL1s and Z/28s in no time. Maybe Fiat will follow the Viper's lead and drop the price $15K.
