Many good car's out there to buy.
I think the CTS-V is a legitimate 200mph car. I'm not sure the Z06 is. I believe it's 186 with the Z07 package.

I'm also looking at buying a hellcat just for the room it has for me as a daily driver. I have a 2016 Z06 and love it. That's my baby but I treat that car as my prize dream car but love the old school look of the charger and it does move down the road but no comparison to me and my vette. But again like the hellcat rides great shifts great and has the power when needed but is a big car for family to ride in. 🚗🚗

A brand new RED Charger HellCat is sitting in the showroom floor at Laurel Valley Motors in Latrobe, PA. Fred Furia is the GM at that dealership and he's a great person. If you're looking for one, he just got it in last week....don't know if it' still there, maybe sold by now.
