I just don’t get it…granted no warranty but id much rather spend 45k on a chevy ss, another 10k on mods and blow the doors off of this in every aspect (other than maybe styling)… ---

Comparing this so strapping on a centri blower turned up isn’t really a great comparison and even that is 10-12k with a fuel system/etc. ---

Vette guys in a platform that weighs significantly less than a G8 stop around the 600-650 range for transmission longevity I realize people have made more but that seems to be the sweet spot. ---

> [@joelster](#): > > That is a hot car! I had the opportunity to see one up close for the first time. I love the styling and the interior but I’m confused as to why a car with 707hp comes with 275 rear tires. That thing should have 305’s or 315’s out back. because 275’s get more smiles per mile. I would imagine comfort has a lot to do with the tire choice. I know my SRT8 jeep rides like shit. It would be nice if it had a taller tire so there was some give, but on the other hand it handles great. I am loving that twin charged give away car. Everything about it is cool. ---

The Hellcat is built to handle good and brake good as well. I just don’t see how a 275 rear tire on a 4300lb car is going to cut it. ---

Theoretically speaking wider contact patches only helps lateral acceleration. Longer contact patches help longitudinal acceleration (and deceleration).
