The only thing I can compare it to is my last Corvette, which is a 2017 Z51. As we know, that's on rails and the Scat Pack is built more for straight line performance.
It has some slight body movement, due to the mass if the vehicle. I hesitate to use the word body "roll" because the car actually corners fairly flat, and planted, enhanced by the $695 upgraded 275-40/20 Pirelli performance summer tires.
The car understeers a bit..... However, like the old racing adage goes, "over -steer" is better, since you don't see what you're about to hit!
I also opted for the 9.5 forged aluminium wheels along with 15.4 front rotors and Brembo 6 piston calipers.
Despite its weight, it stops extremely well, with no fade.
Awesome car! I am so tempted to get the new 1320 version that is coming out this year. Very similar just a few more drag race bits from the factory. Congrats and enjoy!
My brother's Plum Crazy Purple Widebody Hellcat M6 is slated to arrive on Monday here at the dealership my wife works at and where I have bought the last three of my Rams. He ordered it Jan 15th and was just given confirmation today of it's arrival on the rail car. It was a real chore of a process ordering the M6 in PCP for dealership delivery. It took the salesman almost two weeks to figure out how to order a standard with the PCP color. Apparently there are around 4-5 other colors that can't be ordered with the M6 with the Widebody Hellcat option for dealership inventory- at least in Canada. This is the first Widebody Hellcat Challenger ordered from this dealership so the excitement/anticipation is very high. When it arrives I'll see if I can get a picture post...........Oh and this is his '17 Shaker Drag Pack Go Green 1 of 1 of 53 in Canada next to my Sublime '17 Ram. And yes he is keeping the '17 car.

You can steer it with the go pedal....The rear will kick out pretty easy. Its does not plow at all..

Nice car!...enjoy, they are very good drivers.
Thanks for the info. You must have had some prior experience with one of
these. I've only accrued 127 miles and and breaking it in by the book, so it will be a couple of weeks before
I can test out the "rear wheel steering"....

2012 SRT 30k, 2015 Scatpack 32k and 2016 Scatpack shaker 24k. You're gonna love it after 500 miles. You just have to get used to using up ALL of your lane lol and no it does not lean at all even as big as it is... but it seems sort of like its on top of the road if that makes sense...Sort of makes you pucker when you push it which you should not ever totally ignore that...In my comparison to the Sting ray in the twistys the Chevy just seems to squat into the pavement the harder you push it...The Challenger does not do that BUT for a boulevard cruiser it is very near the top when you add everything up...It's faster than the Stingray in the turns when you add four people and luggage for all of them to both cars...
