If you had to do it over again, would you buy a Hellcat?
I was in the market for a Dodge Hellcat and for an MSRP of only $62,000 I would have gladly bought one here in California.
The problem was I couldn't find one in the state without a $9,000 - $20,000 dealer markup.
As a result I purchased a White Z06 for 83K with only one option, the A8 Transmission and to be honest I couldn't be happier as I drive it once in a while on some weekends and when I do it's glorious but every now and then I think to myself for 20k less I probably would have been just as happy with the Cat if I could have found one at MSRP.
What do you guys think?

Were you able to find a Z06 in California at MSRP?
Most dealers also mark those UP^^^^

They are totally different cars. If you just like stomping on the pedal and feeling acceleration, yes they will both do that, but the Z06 is just as much about braking and cornering than it is about horsepower. The hellcat is a nice muscle car, but still just a muscle car.

Isn't the Hellcat 600-700 lbs heavier? To me, the weight difference alone is reason to get the C7Z06.
