It's well known that muscle cars such as Challengers are best shown off on the straightaway and that's probably all the majority of the owners want out of them.I know I wouldn't be taking a car that I just plunked down over sixty grand for to some curvy track and risk a rollover at a high rate of speed lol.I would hope that most people who do get them will have some inkling of how to handle themselves behind the wheel but I did see a YouTube of a guy tearing his SRT 8 up on a track.He was lucky to walk away from the car he'd just destroyed.
Dodge Challenger Hellcat....over 700 hp..are you kidding me?

True story: we had a vehicle stolen off our lot last winter. When I picked it up at the tow yard I noticed a gorgeous brand new shelby gt500. First year of the new 662hp. Temporary plate on the back was 8 days old. And the top was missing and there were brains visible on the front seats. Guy lost control doing over 100 and hit a 18 wheeler broken down on side of road. End of story. Insane power and mediocre handling and braking is just scary. That being said I know a hillbilly I guarantee has one ordered. The performance of cars today is impressive. Enjoy it. Probably won't last.
Lol im not a miata guy either but I gotta give credit where its due and they are one of the more capable track toys out there. When people think of racing they usually imagine mustangs or porsches but more miatas are raced every weekend than any other car.
I guess it would depend on the track. Turning is fun, but I need lots of ACCELERATION!
I worked at a dealership years ago. We had a a kid loose control and crash a Ford Lighting... ON HIS TEST DRIVE!
To each their own. I think it depends a lot on where you live and the type of driving you encounter. Growing up in new england I loved my rx8 with the windy hilly roads great handling and a sweet 6 speed make it a blast but now that im in the south and everything is flat and straight my car feels pointless. V6 camry would give me a run in a straight line haha. Guess being in the south kinda makes a point for a vehicle like this.
Yea, some people can't handle the power. I had a car salesman get nervous on me when I test drove a Magnum but it was so slow...I wasn't impressed with it(it didn't come close to my Mustang). But to many it may have been too much.
