Great to see that the Big Three each have something to offer in the V8/RWD/manual transmission segment

The weight is going to kill that car. Aside from that it is a pretty sweet ride. I personally like to see gauges in vehicles and I only noticed the tach and speedometer. If they could get the curb weight down it would be a beast, but sadly I think the ZR1 camaro and the GT500 will still out handle and outrun it.

2014 Mustang GT 500 - 662 HP - curb weight 3,850 lbs
2014 Camaro ZL1 - 580 HP - curb weight 4,120lbs
2015 Challenger Hellcat - 600HP (est) - 4,449 lbs

Bang for the buck, that Shelby is awfully hard to beat and I can only imagine what its replacement will do now that it will have IRS.

People kill themselves in Toyota Corollas. You can't fix stupid.


But, you can ward them off! Chrysler should forget the auto tranny option and send all Hellcats out with 6 speeds... for the good of the people.

I would daily drive a Corolla if it meant I could have one of these in my garage. Wow.

Hopefully they're free cause that's the only way I'd buy a Dodge. I've got too many bad repressed memories of Chrysler to ever set foot on their showrooms again..
