That being said, I'm more a GT350 guy though. |

Might have something to do with the massive weight. Still a nice car though but I'll take this or a handful of other cars before any Slowpar. I'll take this one.. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=YOrSFVnABDU |

Demon was never made to do anything but straight line performance. Hennessey does a 1000hp Challenger too. ht tp://hennesseyperformance.com/2015-2016-dodge-challenger-hellcat-hpe1000-supercharged-engine-upgrade/ |
And I'd take a Porsche Cayman GTS, (or a 911 4 GTS if I was really wealthy), any day over any domestic built muscle car. Each to their own, right?

Several offerings from mustang are well over 1000hp also. It's a GREAT time to be a horsepower fan Remember the late 80's, early 90's when the foxbody 5.0 mustang was considered fast at 220HP? Now 600 is relatively common place |

Fun to look at and drive I bet BUT, at the end of the day it's a Chrysler product.

Now a loaded 911 4 GTS, optioned the way I'd like it, is over $180K, not really a fair comparison. My only point was I prefer the refinement of a Porsche to the brute power of a muscle car. It's why I bought a mint used Cayman, for less money than a new a new GT Mustang or SS Camaro. |

There is suspicion that the 1/4 mile time being advertised by FCA was obtained with open exhaust. None the less, it is impressive. |

Looks ok. I guess?
I like the Corvette Stingray better though. But I *really* like this... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmscSzFurwq If you are gonna do Forced Induction... do turbo AND supercharge! 680 WHP in an 1800lb car. Man, the trouble I would get into... |

Not that I'll ever own any of these cars we're talking about. |
I'll keep my F-150
I can carry more than a set of golf clubs I can drive it year round A tuned rice burner won't embarrass me off the line I can use regular fuel If I scratch it off roading I don't cry Repair bills won't put me in the poor house She knows I'm not rich and that's not the reason she sleeps with me Divorce proof Each to his own I guess |
Where do ya put the moose?

Cool !!! ... anyone that has driven a Challenger will understand !!!

Watched the vids in the link. The last one was titled 'Launch' and was a whole lotta rah rah. At 3:28 the speaker tweeked my memory when he said
".... the Demon's starting to settle in now. 5.1 seconds and you're passing 100mph. At this point something incredible happens; you hit the vanishing point ....... " Not sure if it was intentional, but I would think that Dodge knows the history of their cars and they made a subtle tip of the cap to the 1970 Challenger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pA4ymmXa8rs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanish...int_(1971_film) Hopefully, they weren't referring to this one. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vanish...int_(1997_film) |

Repair bills on my car won't put me in the poor house, as I can afford to own and repair it (if it ever needs it) without hurting my financial position. My wife know's I'm not rich, but I am well off, and she has been sleeping beside me for over 25 years. What you drive or don't drive won't make you divorce proof. Who you married, who you are, and how you work at your marriage is the only thing you can control, and even that won't make you divorce proof. Each to his own for sure though. Doing well enough to own a nice car, that you worked hard to own, doesn't actually pigeon hole a person into some stereotype. Anymore than driving a jacked up Dodge automatically makes you a douche bag. Although...... |
I'm thinking another corvette convertible may be in the garage soon. Hard to not live the c7 lines. By far the most comfortable of all the domestic 'supercars'.

Heart felt apologies, yes the GT is the better car than the vette by every metric, I agree. I honestly never even thought of it as it is pretty 'esoteric', more of a super car, in another price range. By sports car, I generally think of a two door, two seater, as opposed to domestic muscle cars. The GT falls more in there with the Mclaren Lambo Ferrari Bugatti car set to me...
|
I just didn't want Ken going to buy a Vette thinking he was getting the best domestic sports car on the market. Now that he knows which is the best, pull the trigger Ken........
|
Surprised no Dodge fans have chimed in on the Viper. Then again, maybe not.

Most repairs under warranty per lap?:scared0018:
No, that's a stretch to think it would be under warranty....:sHa_shakeshout: (obviously just kidding) |
