Discussion.. Pricing might be similar depending on dealer markup. Which would you choose and why? [emoji41]

Hellcat charger, 4 doors

Honestly, if this was asked earlier in the summer, it would have been either of the Hellcat siblings....but now....man, I'm REALLY liking the 350. If you add the Charger into the mix, I think I'd end up w/ that.

 

[JeffsLightning]

Yeah very hard decision. The Hellcats have a higher msrp but most Ford dealers are going to put big markups on the 350[emoji107]

Hellcat Challenger or Shelby 350?

That's a hard one. I'm more of a ford guy. But I'm a power guy more. And I kinda dislike Chrysler

I'd want the charger hellcat for the sick out of the box power in a 4 door car

But that Shelby 350 would be calling my name too. Why do people want me to choose [emoji29]

 

[Blood on Blood]

Neither.

Used crew cab 4x4 truck (GM,Ford, Toyota) and a new 6 speed Scat pack Challenger.

Why on earth would you pay dealer markup?

Base Hellcat Challenger: 60K
Base GT350: 48K

I wouldn't but if you think a GT350 is going to sell for 48 I want what your smoking[emoji12]

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

The base hellcat challenger is $65k now I think and the hellcat charger was like $68k for 2016

 

[Bru]

The base GT350 doesn't come with all the cool advertised stuff. Need the track pack, plus guzzler tax and you're at $57,000.

 

[guspech750]

Tough choice for sure.

Leaning more towards the 350. Only because I love racing around a track more than a straight line.

 

[Mook]

Who would of thought we'd be debating whether one should buy a Dodge over a Ford. How times have changed

 

[Rent Free]

GT350 because 5.2 sounds killer and its lighter.

Loaded GT350 minus carbon wheels still under Hellcat price?

Fixed by adding in Hellcat

I suppose it depends on what you want out of a car. If you are a drag racer or a cruiser. Hellcat.

If you want road course work, then GT350 all day. The GT350 will smoke a Hellcat on almost every track except those with lots of huge ass straights. Anytime braking or cornering gets involved the GT350 will dominate the Hellcat.

If you want something as a cruiser slash weekend drag car the Hellcat is the clear choice. The GT350 can't touch the Hellcat in terms of acceleration. And the Hellcat's larger chassis is going to make big road trips more comfortable.

As for me? GT350 w/Track Pack all day long. In Black.

Dat Mustang.

 

[JeffsLightning]

Just built a 8 speed Hellcat Challenger with the pearl black..64xxx

 

[Angus]

Hellcat Charger.

hellcat.

i will never see a road course and even if i did, i wouldn't be able to push the limits of either.

so let me go straight and fast.

 

[Bru]

There are a decent number of cars that can handle like the GT350; Vette Z51, M4, ATS-V, etc. It's in good company for a Mustang. There's not much that give you the sheer ridiculous experience of the Hellcat. I'd take a Charger Hellcat.

U can also buy a 16 premium gt and add blower and some goodies and run 9-10s for a lot less money. Something to think about

 

[Spivitz]

I’ve spent way too much time & money fixing Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler products. Let’s face it, I’d be hard on the Hellcat & I am certain it will break often.
I’ve been pretty amazed over the years at how much a beating those Mustangs can handle.
I’d go Shelby 350 all day.

 

[ragingclue]

Neither.

Used crew cab 4x4 truck (GM,Ford, Toyota) and a new 6 speed Scat pack Challenger.

This but I'd take some sort of project instead of the truck.

But if I had to pick between Hellcat Challenger and GT350, I have no idea which I'd take. Seat time would be nice to make this sort of decision but that's not happening any time soon.

or i could get a one inch transmission chain, turn my boost up to somethin' fierce, and run 9-10s for a FUCK ton less money.


don't turn this thread into that.

k thanks bye.

Don't even need to think about it....GT350. The Hellcat is all about straight line speed vs. the GT350 is a jack of all trades engineered to accelerate, handle, and brake very well. Both are great cars at the end of the day. Can't go wrong with either really.
