So I guess you're talking about the Blackwing version with the 6.2L? That MSRP is a bit steep, I think I'd opt to find one slightly used. Not too long ago I got rid of my Charger for a modified Vette that could probably outperform any of the cars in this conversation. That being said, it's a bit much to be driven around as a normal car, and occasionally I'm not in the mood for it. I think a slightly modified Hellcat Charger would be perfect for me. Because my wife doesn't mind some exhaust noise and the Caddys are completely off the table, she can't stand the way they look. And maintenance on the German/Italian cars is just stupid expensive.
Yes the supercharged V8. I had to negotiate the "delivered" price because of the dealer markup. Sticker fully loaded is $114,238 w/o that markup. It's a bit different than the 2024.
The 2017 Hellcat is a Hennessey upgraded version with 1005 hp. I've been having electrical issues lately and the AC went out, which I got fixed right away.
I was a Corvette owner for many years, but these days we prefer softer rides than what they offer. The CT5-V blackwing seemed a good overall compromise. German etc.? Yes, bad bang for the buck for what you get from start to finish.
