    NASCAR power in street trim. The sound it made when shifting through that burn out made me cringe. Way cool.......

    I like the customization you can do for performance, ride, engine, etc, that was cool too. Still think it's over priced though.

    Horsepower wars, I'm sure the other big 2 will have something up their sleeves sooner or later. I'm sure the 15 Z06 will get it in the corners.

    It will also get you in the pocketbook by at least $16,000 not including the Gas Guzzler tax. Assuming they keep the Z06 priced the same as the previous gen. The way things are going it will likely increase.

    I am not in the market for a muscle car at the time; however, if I was this would be at the top of my list for a few reasons. First, its "only" $60k - that kind of performance from a $60k is impressive to say the least. Second, its a bad **** car. I always liked the way Dodge tried to keep a modern retro (if thats possible) look with the challenger. Finally, it would be a ton of fun to pull up to a light on a deserted road and have a $250k pull up beside you and want to race and blow their doors off. A really neat car with impressive performance.

    They MIGHT, but not anywhere close to the price point that Dodge is offering the Hellcat.
