There is a reason Bugatti will only give you the key to a portion of the engines HP until you get through their class/track event, then you get all the power

I hate to say it, but most that can afford the car are baby boomer age or older. Most of these guys had a 400+ HP muscle car back in the day and think they can handle it. Well that 400HP '68 challenger is a far cry from this ~10 second 1/4 beast.

I know I sound like a mom, but when you see the proliferation of idiots on the interwebs crashing vipers, ferraris, lambos, etc it is only a matter of time before sub $100k powerhouses like the CTS-V, AMGs, hellcats, etc cause some serious accidents...
showed my wife the video yesterday, and her response was " what can you sell the Crossfire for ,then sell the Camry and enjoy,, will it take the place of the camry so we can take my mother (she is 101 this month) along. " I said no if i brake , then she walks. I said i would take no less than $42000.00 for the crossfire,,(any takers), you buy mine and I wiill be the only person you know with a hellcat. LOL
