I love the simple “turbo” badge on the porches. I have allot of respect for the fast ones. They are amazing cars.

Would love to drive one sometime. Problem is if I drive one it’s probably gonna be an expensive ride. Lol

rent one on turo, you could probably get in a turbo or gt for a couple hundred bucks, or just make friends with a guy with one haha.

2018 Challenger Hellcat Widebody
Let’s not fire up the cause again, but the only thing I maybe would consider to replace my ‘18 A8 Widebody is a 6spd version of the same.

Okay, I came across a car that would probably be as fun as the Challenger; The Flyin' Miata.

Basically, it's a Miata (which I'm not a fan of) with an LS3 engine. That's over 500 hp in something that probably weighs well under 3,000 lbs.
Best of all, it looks just as lame as a stock Miata.

In an ideal world that engine would be in the (slightly) better looking Fiat 124 instead.

I wouldn't trade my cat for anything on the road at this time. I grew up in the 60's and always wanted a Challenger but couldn't afford it.....cause they were new....had to settle for a used bowtie....67 Impala 2dr. I'm retired now and love this car!!!

2019 Hellcat Redeye
The only way I would debadge would be to rebadge with a simple ? badge in place of it. But logistically I know that would invoke a massive inquest like "I guts to know factor" attracting anything with an engine wheels. that would be interesting for about a day. Then swap back because every nut out there would be testing the waters to find out

Back to the real posting question. I would trade if a hellaphant was made available, in same platform, imagine150 pounds off the snout.
with more power. Oh' and throw in some carbon fiber for added bonus making it even lighter, and more demon squat and go. It would be stiffer and lighter. would I exude all levels of greed for wanting stronger rear end that is narrowed with a slightly wider wheel tub. They probably already have screwed it together and played with it at Chelsea proving grounds. who could tell the difference It would look the part of a typical cat with more grunt and lighter. I would also consider new C8 when bigger engine is out. Then I would realize what I traded away. Big roomy grand touring, does most everything well, and several things exceptionally well. Then say what the heck did I just do. And most likely go back

Traction-challenged now? Those are smoke machines unless they're set up just right.

Oh, I've had other light cars with a fair amount of power, so traction isn't the only way I'm challenged.

supra train! got rid of my eclipse gsx for a twin turbo supra then got rid of it for a lame g37 then went to the hc. supra attracts a ridiculous amount of attention, maybe it was the f&f paint job but those are damn beautiful machines.

That's the beauty of a Miata. Other than certain men, nobody notices them.
