2021 Durango Hellcat

So having driven both vehicles it seem to me that the Durango Version seems to be able to keep more power going to the road without spinning the tires. I know in the 1/4 mile the challenger is faster, I am not talking about that.
I mean on the street, in general, is the Durango more solid on its footing under WOT conditions?

It weighs about 1.5 times more than the Challenger, if I'm not mistaken.

These are 2 completely different vehicles. Not just going to compare one to the other.
I would bet I would take a durango on a no prep race in the 1/4 and pretty postive in the 1/8th as well

Durango and save yourself $10k and lots of gas money and get a 392ci SRT. I have a REWB and a Durango. The Durango for DD and the street hands down more grip AND quicker in an 1/8th. Even with the 392. Good enough for most street chit.

Would only sell it to someone after full disclosure of the shit that's not right/missing + I've been pretty vocal about it here, so I'm not trying to hide anything.
