If you like off the line acceleration and pull, that's fine, get some American muscle, but that's sort of the point about different driving experiences. I'll drive an S30 all day every day before I'd want to own a Hellcat.

My experience driving it was not go-kartish, but if you enjoy driving them that's great. But, yeah, I like acceleration and pull. I love go-kart handling as well, hence my owning a Cooper S. I specifically bought it for the go-kart handling, in fact. It's not a rocket, but it is fun to drive. That's all it has going for it because it's certainly not practical in any way.
I wouldn't want to own a Hellcat, either, but there are dozens of cars I'd put ahead of an S30, although I definitely like how they look. I'm just not a fan of old, unsafe, slow cars in general, no matter who makes them.
