You don’t like the flares? Ever since the wide body came out, I don’t think I’d be content with a regular bodied Hellcat.
So I’ve been toying with the idea of getting rid of my current hellcat Challenger for a Redeye.
With the discounts available and with how much I’ve enjoyed the “lowly” 700hp version I can’t imagine not enjoying the 800hp version that much more.
The widebody does look good in person but I’m not sure if it’s worth the extra $$. I can pick up a standard body Redeye absolutely loaded in the high 60’s right now and I’m having trouble finding a widebody much below 80...

Ya, that's it. Seriously?
A little too much salt on your meat, it appears.
I can tell you this, I still own my '14 GT500 and not selling anytime soon as I feel it was just one of those cars that made a statement in the american performance car market. But 13COBRA is correct, I also owned a '16 GT350 and let me tell you the driving experience was that much superior over my '14 in many ways, but especially the suspension. I got rid of it because I felt it just needed more power for what I mainly would use it for, yea yea I almost threw a Whipple on it but knowing the new GT500 was coming sooner than later, I decided to trade the car in and not throw $15k+ or more into another car like I did my '14 that you will never get back. ($62Kish for base GT350 + $15k in power adder/supporting mods=$75kish invested)Ya, that's it. Seriously?
Having road raced S-197 cars for years, I may be a bit biased here, but I'd say it even started as soon as the S-197 chassis came out. The 2011 +, especially 2013 + mustangs were incredibly capable road racing cars, and then take the Boss 302 on top of that. The pre 2020 GT500 was never meant to go around a corner, and anyone who thinks it was is kidding themselves, but as a whole that is a very competent chassis.
And not to just take our word for it, on any given track weekend, the top 3 cars, hands down are Miatas, porches and mustangs (of all years).
Mustang II was the finest example of a road race ready Mustang ever in the history of mankind. It's Pinto-based underpinnings were waay ahead of it's time as was the oft called underpowered engines of the era. With a fuel system designed to scorch the earth, it took no prisoners. Porno inspired interior hues and 4 lug wheels were the envy of the industry. Collectors have bought up whatever remains of them and they are a lock to sell for six figures at upcoming major auctions. When I think sleek, sexy, with a brute of an engine, I think Mustang II.
How do you know about mod to hell and back potential and where is the spreadsheet?!?!

Hey! The Mustang II front suspension was pretty awesome at the time.Mustang II was the finest example of a road race ready Mustang ever in the history of mankind.

I hear you.
The wide body is a 7k option. So in theory, if you can find a regular body red eye in the high 60s then you should be able to find a wide body red eye in the mid to low 70s.
Demand and supply might be affecting that, though.
history of parts being mod friendly and responsive, handbuilt larger displacement low compression motor paired with one of the largest PD blowers on the market, highest performance streetable transmission. beefed up drivetrain from factory. oh i dunno..
oh, updated chart with HP and weight bias, and even weight added and worse coefficients just for you View attachment 1594351
