That was top choice for me (after declining a C8 stingray). But didn't want the car to get stolen so i went to BMW. |

Yes I know this, I didnt articulate well enough for a few here as when I was quoting my friend it was about the road where the cars were driven.
I apologize profusely

Considering Dodge is going to stop producing Hellcats by 2023, its going to be hard to find a clean example after that.
Dealers might mark them up for the last MY but I believe one can still find good deals for MY22 factory orders with some effort. Dodge might be one of the few manufacturer who is offering cash incentives in the current market and 0% apr for 72 months. |

Born and raised in Newark, I wouldn’t own a Hellcat if I lived near there either. |

I had an order for a Hellcat Charger redeye but cancelled it and ordered a M3. It was the thought of paying $80k with the interior quality of a $20k. I live in a city with an auto theft problem so that also played a major factor in my decision.

Since the additional PIN is integrated into the system unlike key fob signal transmission, it should be extra safe. Also Dodge wouldnt take a chance on tarnishing their image if thieves could find a way around for this fix as well. I am finding it really hard to choose between G80 and Charger HC. They are ending HC production by 2023 and also i can get a MY22 for a great deal. |

I have driven many high HP cars and the Hellcat is for sure a "less expensive" way to big HP but its just that a one trick pony. Im not sure what your plans are for the car but IMHO the M3 is plenty fast for daily use and those fun track days. |

Had a chance to drive a G80 during Indy M track day and it gives an great overall package. I have tracked vehicles for work and this vehicle exceeded my expectations. BMW has done a great job on putting down the power in this platform. Always wanted to own a M vehicle and this might be the last opportunity as i dont want iDrive 8 or a hybrid. I have owned a Durango RT with HEMI in the past but Charger HellCat brings in a totally unique experience. A great deal off MSRP in the current market and EOP by next year are on the table as well. I wont be going wrong with either of them but as of now, i am 51% on a G80 and 49% on a Charger HC. |

[QUOTE=SickGTR;28346115]Well when the G cars get to be 700 HP/torque, they will have zero traction as well. RWD that is. So not really sure you can say the BMW has way better traction. On a stock car, sure.[/QUOTE}
Not once did I mention the BMW would hold traction at 700hp. There are many modified vehicles that put down the power more efficiently than the hellcat. I love the hellcat for what it is, an "affordable" way to big HP. The interior/quality leaves a lot to be desired, but Dodge is extremely smart in marketing towards those who don't mind. I love that they throw monster engines in vehicles like the charger as that whine is addicting. For overall livability and especially as a DD, gotta nod toward BMW. I say if you want a Hellcat buy it! If you want a BMW then buy it! |

Having owning my M3C for a little over a month now, it's an incredible car. But i always think about that hellcat i was debating before i considered the M3. The only reason why i even have the M3C, is because in my area charger V8's (doesn't matter if it's an RT, scatpack, hellcat etc), are NOTORIOUS in getting stolen. Like you slip up once and park the car on the street one night, that's the night it gets taken. You literally have to keep it parked in your driveway or garage, and when you take it out, you have to be in the car the entire drive, then back in the driveway/garage. And that's pretty much how you can own these cars. I really wanted a hellcat charger. But this M3C is still an incredible car too. It just doesn't have that V8 |

Both vehicles are unique in their own aspects and they bring in an unique overall package. Hopefully i am able to make a decision soon and move forward. |

It was a 2020 widebody, granite, black wheels, red calipers, red/black interior and a sunroof. No other options. It only had 8k miles for around 74k. It was perfect. But i kept thinking about how paranoid i would be. Even it parked in my driveway. I couldn't live like that so i had to pass. It was such an incredible car. I hate thieves. |

I read in a blog or forum that a person in an affluent neighborhood had a Charger HC vehicle turned on their driveway to warm it up and went into the house to grab something. Be came back in a couple of minutes and the vehicle was gone. Even though it might be a one of issue, its how things are in the real world. If the theft issue is in back our mind, one will not be able to enjoy the vehicle to the fullest. |
