Chryco seems to be dreaming up so many Hemi-this, SRT-that, versions of their cars... somebody must be buying them. Hello mountain of debt.This isnt a go into debt kinda car. This is meant for the middle aged guy who couldnt afford a hemi 'Cuda in high school and has cash.Quite right, 'cept the guys that wanted a 'Cuda in high school wouldn't be middle age any more! Try late 50s (at least). But that's generally the demographic that has the cash for this type of specialty vehicle, so I don't blame Fiat for playing on their nostalgia...

Wasn't the insurance horrible??? I heard that it used to be many a gold doubloon, or whatever currency you used way back then, whale blubber/animal pelts??, so a lot of young people couldn't afford them.
Evidently the Hellcat is an acquired taste. Count me among those who like it.
Bulbous.I'd rather have the less bulbous Z-28, the svelte Corvette, the rowdy BOSS302, the "don't be fooled by the spec sheet" TT-RS or the "I DO have a massive V-8" C63.
