I don't understand the odd superiority complex Scat Pack owners seem to have (at least the 4 or 5 I have personally come across). Whenever I come across any Charger/Challenger... no matter the badging... I enjoy trading compliments back and forth, or at least a thumbs-up and a smile where we recognize each other for owning a great car. I'm also used to many SRT8s wanting to play around just to see the Hellcat run, you can tell the ones who want to have fun.
But man, these Scat Pack guys, they're a different breed.
They'll fly up on your ass from behind, get up next to you and rev their motor as loudly as they can, then try to take off and egg you into a race. No gestures, no smiles, just rev up and bait. Most don't even wait for any acknowledgement, they just take off so that while you're playing catch-up, they feel like they're beating you lol.
I get it, maybe before the Hellcat came along, y'all were dominating your little street scene with light-to-light runs or freeway roll races... and maybe you forgot how to be humble. Maybe you've got an A8 and you've played with an M6 Hellcat and had a really good run because there is a certain deficit there. But remember, just like there is a world of difference between a V6 Challenger and a 392 Challenger... there is a world of difference here as well. Enjoy what you've got and be proud of it, but remember your place in the pyramid.
I love the power I have, but I know if I'm running a GT-R or C7 Z06, I better be on my game, and it's a coin toss... but I'm not going to roll up on a new Porsche GT3 and rev him up like a 16 year old ricer. And I know damn well that there are a ton of sleepers in my area, I could get my ass handed to me in any number of ways, by any number of tame looking cars... and I'm totally ok with that
So maybe next time you pull up on a Hellcat, try just being cool and have fun... if I'm gonna waste my gas on running you, I'd at least like to know we each had a good time doing it... not that either of us were trying to prove anything.
