The interior and tech package on this car is nice. makes the zl1 seem like a 3 world beater. I like the interior on our ram so much better than my zl1 but the 38's have way more body roll ha ha.

I want to drive one I need to covnice my buddie to try to bring one in to his dealership. not sure how many they are making.

I just feel like I will be underwhelmed with the handling but trying to keep an open mind since they have thrown some tech at it.

It does raise the bar for chevy and ford ain't no getting around that...... i am a die hard chevy fan its hurts to admit we have nothing close to answering hell cats hp rating with other than the 6 gen zl1 vette........ i am still sick to my stomachafter watching a few zl1s get spanked by the shelby cars on you tube

The Hellcat raises the bar, I think Ford will step up, but I don't know if GM will. GM may go with a more balanced package. Think 650hp ZL-1 with better track manners.

I thought Jay liked the Hellcat. Whats not to like? For me I love everything except one thing..the challenger styling is getting old and tired looking. However that interior and tech is sick! The engine speaks for itself.

I really liked watching the video...thanks for posting.
He should have brought Jay a manual and he might have liked it that much more. The Dodge rep seemed to defend the Challenger's weight with a bit of nervousness.

And that is the only thing they really talked about. If you look at Jay's other reviews he goes around every panel of a car and usually the executive/engineer their will explain that part or fact. Here they just popped the hood and that is it.

It was an Ok review, a lot of the stuff we already knew. He was just repeating all the information that is already out.

Hell cats cool but i ve been following the super car wars for a while...... Lets take the viper for instance...... On paper with the hp brute power numbers the viper should beat the king of the hill vette in all categories but it doesn't why ??? Its about the whole package acceleration handling and stopping distance vette wins all this hands down everytime.......i say as long as chevy stays in the 600 to 650 range with Superior handling chevy wins again
