However, I'm not sure how it would handle the turns considering its 4200+lbs curb weight. Also, I wouldn't count out the import industry just yet considering the GT-R lays down 10.8 1/4 miles while being extremely impressive through the corners. Sometimes its not how much power you have, but how you put it down.

Sounds like it will be a hell of a car but .... I keep hearing reliable yet the car hasn't come out yet. There is no way of knowing how reliable it will be if people drive the hell out of them. I will accept that it is a 700HP demon with a warranty but I wouldn't say it will be reliable just yet.
You can build a 700HP import and granny drive it all the time and it will be reliable the same goes for a high HP domestic but when people start beating on them is when we will know how reliable they are.
Something my father-in-law once told me and he built a tone of muscle cars in his day is "If you are going to drive it like a race car expect to be fixing something regularly, but if you take care of it and don't beat on it it will last you a lifetime."
Again it sounds like a hell of a car but I wouldn't call it reliable until people start beating on them. Car manufacturers are recalling cars by the millions these days so we will just have to wait and see.

It will likely be no less reliable than the current CTS-V.
Most cars are over-engineered from the factory. Chances are, the Hellcat engine could take 1000hp and still survive. Companies don't want warranty claims, so they usually overbuild their performance cars a bit, knowing that their owners are going to be beating on them.
Plus, it may be a Dodge, but the parent company also owns Ferrari.

56 k is not hard to obtain unless your broke.
I'm not broke, but I'm also not dumb enough to spend $56,000 on a new car. Any car. But that's just me.

I agree. $56,000 isn't a LOT of money when it comes to buying fancy cars. Still, it's a lot of money to spend if you don't have considerably disposable income to blow on luxuries.
If I'm only making $75,000/yr, I'm not going to spend $56,000 on a fairly impractical car, no matter how cool it may be.
My CTS-V was a $50k-something car when it was new. I got it for $16,000. $16,000 was a reasonable amount to spend for me. $50k+ would've been out of the question (which is why I didn't even consider a 2nd gen!) Could I have made the payments? Sure. But it would've been a strain, and should my income decrease (and it has since then), I would've been in trouble.

Ok, so can I borrow 56k?

That's the only thing I have against it. It's not a smart move for me to purchase along with any other car of the same price.
Cars are cool, it's my main hobby. But there are other priorities in life and for most people, this car is not even a possibility. But anyone will sure enjoy watching it annihilate a set of tires!
