I stopped reading after this:

"Hear me out. I love Hellcats and their 700-plus horsepower as much as the next guy, but all that power is simply too much. It’s the definition of excess."

There's enough negativity out there right now. :p

Its a really great article and I have said for years the 6.4 motor set up is a blast of a car. I have raced many SRT guys and its the 100mph plus to really spread the cars out. And not everyone can justify the pricing of the Wide Body Charger Hellcat and I get it.

I'd take a Scat Shaker over a Cat, if I'm being totally honest. It's always been my plan. A White Knuckle Shaker with gloss black accents and MAYBE maybe maybe maybe a turbo setup. As much as I love a supercharger whine, I prefer a Shaker. If I could find a way to mill a Shaker into into a Cat's Supercharger top, I would.

I had the SRT’s for about a year while waiting for my Hellcats and they were truly a great fun car.

ditto, It sounds like what someone would say if they couldn't afford a Hellcat but didn't want to admit it, very typical. If I didn't buy a Hellcat I damn sure wouldn't buy a scat pack!

If you know how to drive the hellcat right and have good tires.. you’ll completely destroy a 392. 0-60 is 1 second faster and 60-100 it’s a second faster as well

They are both great cars and I find the Hellcat a little frustrating on the road because you really can't use the power.

I've drivin a couple of Scat Packs......great cars...unless you've owned a HC...or a Demon
If you can appreciate them for what they are, you can easily have a great time. Down on power, yes.

Exactly. Both are very enjoyable. You just have to use them properly.

I don't know what's wrong with people complaining about they can't use all the power of a Hellcat on the street.:rolleyes: I use it all the time. I paid for the privilege of owning and driving a street legal race car with air-conditioning and cruise control.

If anyone tells you a Hellcat is not a street legal race car is either just a jealous POS or they are not a car enthusiast.

I have noticed while driving both my Hellcats (60,000 miles in the driver seat experience) that people will look away and act like they didn't see it. They are just jealous because Hellcats are not seen on the street every day especially Redeyes.

I'm even talking about Scat Pack, SRT8 owners etc.
This is for you, this is to put it nicely.
