That being said, I love the styling (IMO, the '15+ Scat Pack is the best-looking of the newer Challengers), the sound and the power. The fact that it has a real back seat and a trunk doesn't hurt either. I just wish mine was put together right...

As of late, I find myself wishing I held onto my 5.0 for 6-7 more months before dropping $42k on this thing, especially after driving a '16 Camaro SS yesterday...
Would you care to share specifics, as I've been considering picking up a Hellcat and any feedback would be appreciated.
