Any American Muscle heads out there?



What do y'all think? Lighter and more powerful than the Hellcat.

If you're a drag racer this will be a car to look at no doubt.

I kinda like challengers but they weigh a little too much for me to purchase one

200 pounds lighter I hear. Still heavier than the Mustangs and Camaros but it's a start.

Yup. And let's not kid at ourselves, it will be incredibly fast at its intended purpose.

pretty sure it will come with a widebody kit stock

Is it bad that I'd love to see a Charger or Magnum, Demon?

Not IMO. I'd be more interested in a charger or magnum version actually. It'd be an even more unique car

I was guessing it would have something like 725 hp, but I read an article somewhere claiming upwards of 850hp. Either way, I thought they were going to shrink the car some to lighten it up. There is a pic out there too, from FF8.

Low sales numbers doomed the car. Yeah, it was a halo car and they probably took a loss but if nobody is buying it what else can the company do?

Yeah, but the ACR was a beast of a car; and a performance bargain to boot...

And a total PITA to drive.

This coming from a guy that enjoys driving Lotus all the time.

Mike, you've driven the new Quadrifoglio?

Rumor is its a 1 seater.

Disappointing IMO.

It's just a barely street legal drag car. But who cares if it's street legal if you can't even have one passenger? I'm sure there'll be an option to add a second seat but still.

That makes this car nothing new other than its drivetrain. I'm sure it'll be fast at the strip with those drag radials, AWD, and a monster power. But you can buy ready built dragsters from other manufacturers already. Cobra jet anyone?

Haven't had the chance yet. But honestly, it'll probably drive like a more compliant E90 BMW anyway. If I had the $, I'd get it anyway.

Doesn't even have to be the Quadrifoglio either. I'm good with a base, change out the wheels and I'd add subtle lip spoilers anyway.

May as well just tune the Hellcat at that point.

Hoping depreciation might be pretty bad, so I can pick one up cheap. (I mean the regular Giulia).

No need to hope. It will be. You're not the only one waiting.

Exactly!!

Good luck with your guy's Alphas. I like the Grand Tour review of that car
