Did you purchase or lease? From a local FL dealer?
Its leased. Still breaking it in ,I figure im not spinning the tires ,I must be breaking it in right

Enjoy the HC. Almost nothing is faster on the street, almost.

Were you able to negotiate a great lease deal? I think they way over produced the HC units since 2016, especially the Challengers

I did the opposite. Went from a 730 hp '04 Cobra to the Z. In Florida the Cobra was useless, too much power, too little space. I'd be blowing the doors off "regular traffic" without even getting into boost, nevermind the 100 hit of N20.

The Z has plenty of power for me and much more fun the the Cobra as it handles like a go-kart in comparison. IMO, Z is the most fun I've had on 4 wheels.

That's my thought process: Corners > Power, and 90% of the time we're all stuck in traffic. The Z is cheap fun.

I'd crash that Hellcat!!!! I'm curious: How much slower is it really around a dynamic series of corners compared to just a stock Z with good tires?
