Any one else missing the 10k in your pocket after Hellcat commercial ?

I am also coming from a blown V8 and I'm not going to lie, I do miss the whine as well as the instant torque. However, the Hellcat is still a boat on wheels to me and I would never buy one. But that's just me, and like others have said these cars are completely different.

After not being able to light my tires up at a stand still whenever id like , I have now found myself drooling over the hellcats price for power cost! Don't get me wrong I love my rcf but I'm always wanting a little more raw control . Is there any other owners out there who just want a little bit more ? Burn out mode , take the limiter off , also if any of you have done any upgrades to make going sideways easier please share ! I already have traded in a rc350f for the rcf so I'm going to stick with the car for a while but any help to get her more to her track core would be appreciated .

That's just Crazy what some of these Caddy's have these days, these are NOT your Grandparents old caddys. 
These cars can pretty much run with Anything on the road. I've just Never Really cared for the looks of them (i guess to me its kind of like the Hellcat, about as Fast as Anything on the road but just lacking in the Looks category, they just Don't have the Curves)! jmo

IMO my V-Coupes angular lines do it for me since the styling IMO isn't over the top. And even though I find the RC-F's styling a little over the top I would own one, and very well may in the next 6-9 months. That is If I can let my V go, not too sure if I can.

Yeah, I get what you're saying about the looks but I guess that could be said about any car. Obviously not everyone is going to like the same thing especially when it comes to styling. That's why we're all entitled to our opinions, and I respect everyone's.

Thank you ! Will try this out today ... I've been salty I can't good transitions in between drifts even in expert mode , with out having a handbrake it's been difficult . I purchased this car after seeing the Lexus drift vid with everything from the lfa to rcf to Lexus team cars in it . However I've just found myself let down with the ability to tap into the cars full ability . Honestly if they had a option where it was bare bones and track ready I woulda went with that .. If I was really out of my mind id gut it cage it and make a track beast !! Sadly this is my daily so that's not happening ha

. But be careful, since sport+ has an aggressive throttle map, and it's easy to overcook a drift, especially from a dig. I'd try expert mode first; it allows you to drift at an entertaining yet safe angle. Once you get the hang of the throttle, tire grip, and chassis attitude, then turn it off. I find the steering too stiff for drifting in sport+, but it's a matter of getting used to it as well. Good luck.

No offense to the Hellcat, but the car is:
- Cheapish looking (feels and looks cheap inside and out)
- Will never be left out by the valet
- Will be broken by tomorrow...

Me personally. I would never take my CTS-V to a valet parking lot, same goes if I owned an RC-F, Hellcat or a handful of other cars. IMO just looking for trouble. And I wouldn't enjoy myself for what I was there for. Knowing myself, I would probably spend the night in the parking lot. LOL
