That's what happens when you have a high performance car and a low performance driver. Traction control makes a Mario Andretti out of damn near anyone. Ask these people to feather it and they think you're making a reference to birds or something. Watch the insurance companies go nuts again just like back in the later 60s.

When you are into the throttle the exhaust barks on the shift points and crackles... you feel like a kid with your first fast car because the sensory experience and the computer keeps things busy all the time.

As it is this is a full on sensory overload experience for a new driver, but lots of owners may regret test drives with guys who are used to flogging 400 HP. For everyday driving I would definitely keep the engine management system in &quot;eco&quot; mode. </div></div>

That is a good one...I like it but not as much as a friend of mine who just took delivery. I insisted on driving the car myself so I did not end up cooked a la Carrera GT style.

Car had 200 miles on it when I took it out.

Know this-- there will be many crashes before the story is written on these cars...ditching the cat head on the fender would be apropos for a jolly pirate skull and bones.

Saving my pennies for the last of the current Z/28. That is more my style.

Re: Hell Cat Real World Road Test
 

Amazing car to be sure.
I would like to see both the Hellcat and the Z/28 taken around a good track on the same day by an experienced driver.

Anybody care to venture a guess? Will Chevy or Ford try to match the HP on the Hellcat?
