I'll be the first to say i told you so lol
I agree with you 100%, when the 700 rumors started around xmas, there were also rumors of ultra high price.

I also think 80k+ msrp, plus ADM's of 20k to start...

I bet Dodge puts this car under 60K.

The same people saying this will be 80 also said the 13GT500 wouldn't be a penny under 65k.

I know exactly how Dodge rolls. My car was signed by the Brampton SRT line production supervisor before it left the line.

Care to explain how that is half truth? Its 100% truth.

Now had he said the new viper beat the zr1 that my friend would be half true
Wrong again. Do you read before you spew ignorance? He said:

He never said which Corvette. He never said which track. He never provided any reference or context. He avoids the entire back story rivalry between these two cars at Laguna Seca which I assume is the track he is alluding to.

He fails to mention the piss poor time by the 2013 Viper GTS - 1:35.8 - from a car that costs $15,000 more than the outgoing ZR1. This is the only reason the TA exists as the GTS was clearly a failure.

2008 ACR 1:35.12
2009 ZR1 1:35.83
2010 ACR 1:33.92
2012 Z06 1:34.43
2013 GTS 1:35.77 lol
2013 ZR1 1:33.70
2013 TA 1:33.62

Sure it might be fast, but it's huge and fat! Clearly!

The Hellcat is awesome, Dodge did a great job bringing 700+HP to the table.

I think it's gonna be cool seeing that car out on the street. At least now the Dodge owners can come out and play with the big kids! Until now they've been confined to the front porch like a red headed stepchild and couldn't do anything but watch! Cant wait for one to come calling! It's gonna be on!

I love it. 1970 .... All we need now is the oil embargo. Insurance rate increases on the way.
No tire now on a SRT8, never, ever get to use 700HP on that skinny ass rear tire, even with its extra weight. IMHO

Seems like a lot people could care less about handling. Which is retarded in my mind. Where I have my fun is on twisty roads and doing HPDE on a road course. Drag racing is over too quick.

I grew up before the 90s when there were winners and losers, A's and F's (fail). I will wait until I see what the Hellcat can do before heaping praise on it.
