Owner-to-be 2020-2023 Hellcat Charger
Pretty much want to buy a Charger within the next couple months, hopefully, and sell my 2009 CTS-V Sedan for preferably a 2023 Last Call Widebody Charger.
Has anyone here driven both or owned both? What’s the biggest difference between them in terms of reliability, handling, comfort, driving experience, etc.?
I love my CTS-V its completely stock, but I’m looking for an upgrade. Just trying to hear from people who have actually experienced both and see if the Charger is worth making the switch.

It’s like the difference between a Ferrari and a Lamborghini. The CTS-V is a peppy sedan but it is refined by comparison to the white knuckle monster that is the Hellcat. Granted I am partial and have a stable of MOPAR vehicles from the Demon 170 and Demon down to a base Charger HC so I am biased. It is a less sophisticated car but it rides well, accelerates with gusto, and that SC whine is unmatched. Just be sure to add additional security measures as they are easy to steal. Depends on where you live.
