maybe a wider rear track (but then the cost would go up etc. yadda yadda)
It's all about that sleeper, man. Why make it super-flashy? It'd be even funnier to take the badges off and throw some R/T badges on to mess with people. "I just got walked by a R/T Challenger!"

you think an inch wider rear track is super flashy? At least they'd be able to put wider wheels on there.

people are ALREADY buying hellcat badges and putting it on their scatpacks and RTs, not sure why but upbadging bugs me.

when I had my SRT8 and people would put SRT8 badges on their SXT's it drove me to drink

Your exact words are, "I wish they did more to differentiate it from the regular challengers/scatpacks though."
That's what my response was to.

I'd agree if we're talking about a daily driver. Hard to beat a 4-door sedan with a 707 hp V8 mated to an 8-speed auto. But for everything else, ZR1
This is the video you are most likely talking about... In 2nd race in the vid, he jumps a bit early on the challenger. The 2nd race with the C7Z, he jumped real early and still got pulled hard.


Agreed on fast 4 doors, but I'd go elsewhere for one.
