No point in buying the Hellcat when you could buy the new Camaro or Stingray instead. Power + handling will always be better than just power.

Depends what kind of racing you do in your part of 'murrica. Some people don't like to turn.

Hopefully GM has a few tricks up their sleeve with the 2016 models. As you can see, I'm looking forward to the Alpha chassis. The z06 is going to be a monster.

Impressive, yes, but an extra eighty grand to go 50 mph faster on a back straight?

I'll stick with my lovely little go-kart thank you very much.

50MPH is A LOT on a straight.

No, I get that. Not knocking it. Personally, I have more fun driving the piss out of a machine than I do holding back. I've driven a couple super-ish cars and have walked away wondering to myself, "Why didn't that feel as cool as I thought it would?"

I guess I'm just the Twin's target market.

The C7 is definitely a monster performance wise.

But even the lower trim models with their paltry 458 HP are probably more than enough car for most of us.

I agree. Give me a standard C7 and I would be happy as clam!
