Kinda undermines credibility a bit there, eh?

Besides, it is up to Chevy to "answer" a Dodge. I imagine a hotter SS is being considered.

A. 90% of American HP buyers have no idea what "the ring" is or means.....
B. CTS-V just wants to be competitive with the Euro-hot rods
C. Hotter SS, they can't sell the model they offer now for 45K so not sure they want to make it more expensive, further limiting sales.

You do realize when they set the record at the Nürburgring they used the automatic right?

I have driven both the manual and the automatic at the track, both are capable options. The manual has a higher top end, the automatic is faster 0-60.

Sorry, posted a pic of my house accidentally. This is my buddy's supercharged Challenger that he drives daily. Took a pic of the engine at a Cars & Coffee earlier this year. He's been posting on FB about "his" Hellcat in lime green, so I thought he had gotten it already. When he does get it, I'll post more about it.

Enough is good,
More is better,
Too much is just about right!

We Yankees are just as Americun as anybody from straight toad county and few of our roads are straight or level for very long. That thing sounds like fun on a gravel road through the woods.

Which is why they won't be sending a Cadillac to a Chevy/Ford/Dodge fight. The Cadillac is "too good" for it.

B. CTS-V is more then a match for the Euro-hot rods

Fixed it for you.

C. Hotter SS, they can't sell the model they offer now for 45K so not sure they want to make it more expensive, further limiting sales.

They are adding more content to it for next year. Including a manual option and magnetic ride control. So, you were saying?

Who needs a corner when your face is being flattened by acceleration? If you want power and corners, you buy a Vette or a Viper. Heck, even a Focus ST for that matter.
