M2 vs... Hellcat?!
No, I'm not thinking of getting one!
I'm just curious to know if anyone has any lap time comparisons between the Hellcat (or any other muscle car). I'd imagine the M2 would actually complete a circuit in a quicker time, thanks to the handling advantage. As I say, I'm just curious! |

One of the local dealers who is also an enthusiast was talking about a couple of interesting things about Hellcats. They sell both Dodge and BMW FWIW.
He's seen quite a few races between Hellcats and a lot of other things. Says the autos do ok, but he's never seen a manual one win a single race. Driver error I guess. Said cars with 1/2 the HP smoke them. Drivers can't effectively put the power down. Also said they have a constant stream of them coming in for big repairs. I asked if it was driver abuse or poor quality. He wasn't sure. |

One guy at work had his brand new RAM 1500 just die whenever it wanted to. Another guy had his brand new RAM 2500 in the shop for weeks with a transmission problem. And others with RAMs over the years have had big problems. Last edited by 3rdcoast228i; 05-03-2017 at 01:50 AM.. |

Hellcat still has a cast iron block - old technology and heavy. Don't see the appeal.

I had a little bout with a Charger 392 Daytona. He wanted to come over to the right lane and cut me off as his lane was ending. No one was behind me but I guess he didn't want to fall in behind. He was loud as hell and I suspect he was floored but could not pass, but we were dead even, until he gave up/ran out of road. I am guessing a Hellcat would be faster, but he didn't make any sound off the line so didn't seem to have an issue hooking up. Just for clarity I do not own an M2, just a 135is with Dinan S2 tune.
