Hellcat- world's fastest sedan, has an engine note, makes environmentalists and Prius drivers angry, was not funded by the federal government, says "Merica" more than any other car on the road besides the Challenger Hellcat. Oh, and refills its range in five minutes, and will take you to Florida from Kentucky more efficiently than a plane.

Tesla. Probably handles turns twice as good, looks better, and is more luxurious.

The curb weight of a Tesla P85D is 2238 kilos. The Charger's curb weight is exactly 2000 kilos (Car and Driver). Yes, the Tesla has 4WD and better distribution, but at that weight 4WD would matter very little in corners. No, it does not handle corners "twice as good"; probably not any better than the Charger at all.

You'd need much better driver if you want the Charger to be even near as good as the Tesla on corners. The Charger has much worse suspension and simply too much power for just 2 road-tyres to put on the ground efficiently.

Weight isn't the only thing in corners. Suspension, weight distribution, and how/when the power gets put down matters just as much.
 
My point is that both sedans will take corners very badly- even with a good suspension a 5000-pound car burdened with batteries won't corner well. All they did with the P85D is stuff more batteries in it to give it more power and torque, while making it excessively heavy. It's the same problem as the Audi R8 V10- they put a bigger engine in it, adding weight and screwing up the handling. It just doesn't work, especially with batteries.
 
@JMoney689 The P85D doesn't have any extra batteries, just an extra motor. You're also neglecting the fact that the Tesla has a very low centre of gravity, so it carries its weight much better than the Dodge. I also don't recall any reviewers ever talking about the R8 V10 having worse handling than the V8, in fact it's typically praised for its good handling.
 
And my point is it's still going to handle much better, because it has better suspension, weight distribution, aerodynamics, and the drive train is going to put the power down in a much more manageable way.

And, what I'm guessing is the underdog, yet has to be included, the Six Fo' Impala.
Impala-SS_1_2000-688x458.jpg


I'm going with the Impala. None of the others impress me as much.

Any color, rims, etc. And I left the Bugatti out because I was afraid it'd take the cake over the other Luxury cars.
 
5th gen F series
Range Rover
Model S
Vanquish, though the Bentley and Impala make pretty compelling cases for themselves.
 
Dodge Charger Hellcat vs Tesla Model S P85D; I'm going with the Dodge Charger Hellcat, I don't think I would be ready for an electric car.

Rappercars; The Aston Martin Vanquish, because I think it's the best looking car there and probably the fastest around a track.
 
Rappers like Astons now?: Aston is still the best so that, next would be Rolls or Bentley, but as Rolls just is bit more than Bentley I'm going to take it
1. Vanquish
2. Rolllllz Roy$e
3. Bentley
4. Impala

Ghost, easily. AM is good but I'd take RR because they're a higher luxury. Don't care for Bentleys (Poor Man's Royce) and Impalas are gross.
