I'm having a hard time understanding how the hellcraps tires got SO overlooked I mean after all isn't it the almighty great ( SRT ) behind it all. Seems like grip should've been top priority. Lol

Trust me. Those corvette owners are just like some of the Camaro owners here.

Any hint of competition from another car maker and they start crying.

Check out the last 100 pages of this thread Lolol.

Any 700 HP car will have traction issues. Have you ever been to a race track? I am sure you could do a better job than SRT. Lets see how well your car will keep up with the Hellcat even with the traction issues.

When you are proposing a new product to investors/customers you will usually highlight the MAIN selling feature that you spent majority of the budget and resources on.

The only thing that gets praised or talked about is the engine. It clearly shows where they spent majority of the budget on.

I think that the only thing that Dodge could have done better is having a better tire, but I guess that if I was getting one I would get DR and all is good.

sure bothered a little old lady in this video

I agree but luckily Changing wheels and tires to accommodate bigger rubber in the back is one of the easiest things to do to a car. Especially when like in the case of the Hellcat nothing needs to be done to the suspension or the body to fit it.

And I guess Canadien seniors are just as angry as American seniors lolol.

Anyone happen to call this dealer to ask price? Dealers in my area have run similar advertisements and still add their own 15-25k mark up to the advertised price.
