Thats easy. Hellcat if your actually going to drive it.
If your going to sit around looking at it and telling everyone how you don't drive it, then keep the GN.
Never understood the look at my polished garage car concept.
-
That's why I own two! It is like a time machine set to 1987. I really need to take an old buddy out to the track with his Hell Cat.
-
after having GNs since 1985 I'd go with a hellcat. Change is good sometimes :cheers:
-
There really is no comparison to the quality of new cars today vs. the mid 80's GN, especially for a daily driver type vehicle.
-
Hellcat or Demon all the way!!
-
My GN was a driver and a snapshot in time of the epitome of factory performance.
Nothing wrong with getting a kitty and taking another new snapshot.
I keep all my snapshots.

If I was Steve that Camaro would still/forever be in my driveway.
The 70's Mopars were crappy built cars to me then, still don't get how they became the holy grail of collecting now.

I'm waiting for the blown cts-v's to be $10-15k

If you were me, that Camaro would probably be gone. There was a lot of negative personal baggage attached to it that prevented me from enjoying it. It went to someone that did not know the history and could enjoy it.

Understood Steve!
I like Jeremy's idea even more than a kitty
-
Only 556 HP in a caddy compared to 797 HP in a red eye.
2016 v is 640 hp but it will be a long time for those to drop to $10.000
-
556hp stock - A few mods and they make considerably more.
-
Maybe we can afford one in our next life, Ron! I those Caddies, tho.
-
You really can't compared any new car with an old one! The technology, magnetic ride or what ever, power, handling, interior.
-
Anyone watch the Roadkill episode where they beat on a few Dodge products!
Pretty cool.

I think there are times we have these Love hate relationship with something. I have had my GN only 15 years its still all Love. Think sometimes I would get a more modern muscle car to beat on and drive daily, but I would keep my GN. I have kicked myself more the a thousand times for selling my 65 Royal GTO with a 421. And my daily driver 67 GTO for a 80 turbo TransAm. My new wife would not go anywhere in them after we got married. Wish she would have left before I sold my GTOs.
Some cars can’t be replaced. I have had 3 maybe 4 that are gone forever.
Your GN might effect you that way it might not.

Scaredy cat owners make me giggle. There were a group of scaredy cat owners who attended the Armdrops and parked together. I walked up to each one of them and asked 'em to run...not one would go...cuz they knew I'd beat their asses. It got so bad I got behind one in line to force him to run me. He sat there...waited for the line to move...and then got out of his scaredy cat...and got his buddy to pull in front so didn't have to run me. TR's for the win.
-
The one I beat tried the key excuse, only had the 500hp key in it, and he'd kick my ass if he had the 700hp key. I asked if I got to turn on my bottle if he got to get his +200hp key and he weaseled out.
-
Guy had a Hellcat at the drags up here. He was parked beside us. NICE car.. Brand new.. Maybe 50 miles in it. 10.40's forget the speed. He could have bracket raced the car. First time he has raced in years. Very impressive.

I still go threw this. Had a lot of the muscle/pony cars back till 1980. Oh still had a 66 Shelby GT350 till 2015. I think the looks speak for themselves. Really cool stuff back then. Find some of your friends that still have one an go drive it. OMG what shitboxes and I am being nice. Hell the Buick is like a Ferrari compared that time in the best years of those cars.
