The hellcat really is about stuffing a huge engine in a "normal" car and not worrying too much about the other driving dynamics. It's not going to be horrible to drive (you can select a more reasonable power setting for daily driving on the hellcat) if all you do is drive on city streets or the straight highway, but you can get much better driving dynamics from lesser HP cars, so it all depends on what you want.

Very true, a hellcat in stock form is very beatable by cars with much less power. You can even break the tires way loose with minimal effort on the SRT with the 392 motor. And that car setup is exactly the same besides the motor. Very first mod a hellcat needs is new wheels and tires.
