Driving my son's Hellcat

ragtopfury said
2 months ago Jake bought a 2016 Hellcat Challenger. We call it the purple kitten. I drove it the 2 hours home. Played with it just a little. GOBS of power!
Well the stupid PA dealer, where PA does not have a front tag, ran 2 screws into the bumper for their advertising tag. Pics of the car in the sale ad had no holes. Anyway, he's away for wrk this week so I dropped it off at a local body shop to have the bumper corrected. Drove it like his grandmother would and even at that, it is amazing how little go pedal you need to give it to cruise thru town at noon.
Before and after the dealer screwed the bumper. They are actually doing an investigation about who there screwed the tag on and talking about reimbursement of the body shop fees.

Damn this thing is sweet.....

Gorgeous ride!
When the Big 3 came out with their "throw back" body styles, Chrysler nailed it with the Challenger.
Ford kicked it all off with the 2005 Mustang, styled after the 69/70 Mach 1 cars. And, credit due, they did a hell of a job with those. I would put the 2005-present Mustang body style a close second behind the Challenger.
Chevy completely missed the mark with the Camaro, it's nothing like the Gen 1 cars.
Chrysler needed a 4 door muscle car for all of the family men who felt they couldn't buy the new 2 door Challenger, but the Charger just doesn't have any of the styling components of the 68-74 cars.
So, I would say the new models rank Challenger, Mustang, Camaro, Charger.
Just my opinion.
