I looked at the SRT8s too before deciding to buy a G8. Night and day between the quality of the paint. I don't know if it so much the paint, or the crappy buff-out. There is little reflection in even a new car on the lot. And open the door, or the trunk: almost no effort to buff a finish in the door sills or in the trunk surround. For a person who might be happy living with diminished expectations of almost everything in their life, the Dodge's paint treatment fits that mindset. But for the money that a Demon costs now I would expect much better. By the way, I bought a Demon, but I sold it.

My RAM paint was OK, but my Durango paint is so so. It holds up to stuff well, but it's just not shiny and deep and it has a ton of "orange peel". It's my DD so no biggie and I sure do enjoy the V8 under the hood.

I have a friend who has one. Owned many HiPo cars, Viper, M3, M5, C5,6,7, and more. while he keeps his pick ups until they have 60,000 miles. His HellCat is the first car he's kept for more than one year. And the first car he's never done any mod's too. Not even some kind of tune on the HellCat. He loves it!

They are discounting new 2016 challenger hellcats to the tune of 15k++
I'm no dodge fan but that's an absurd car for 55k with a 3 year warranty.
I really like the new zl1 but I just don't think I could buy one new at the current pricing when you can get a hellcat for so much cheaper and eat into the new car depreciation .
New zl1 pure sex

Anyone who has ever worked on a car has been in your position, and sitting cross-legged on a concrete floor with a dim shop light is its own kind of hell... Chalk it up as one of the rites of passage.

Depends. I hate the wheels they chose. The 1LE wheels are far nicer. I'd rather have the Challenger hellcat, only because the Camaro is cramped and at least you can fit a booster seat in the Challenger and luggage in the trunk.
Can't deny the performance of it though.
My brother has a 16 SS Camaro and it is nice, especially in hyper blue, my biggest complaint is it's cramped on the inside.

No doubt....
I'm just not paying 70k for one and loosing 30k in 2 years.
It's the better handling car I just don't have the time or bank account to track it. Hellcat is more comfortable and gets with it running the 8 speed auto.
Good old man race car
