Both are badass cars.

800+ RWHP car walks +-700RWHP with similar weight.
No surprise there.

Heavy Gtrs are doing fine even at 2000hp. But yes they wont handle any good Power stock and also gona be big money to build oneThe DCT is only rated at like 650-675lb ft hence the low factory torque rating on the 500. Most manufacturers don’t use DCT’s in heavier high Hp cars for that very reason. They use a torque converter auto.
Look at Audi for example. Light weight, low torque R8 gets a DCT and they use an 8spd auto in the heavy, high torque RS7. Audi even admits as such.
The DCT will be the 500’s Achilles in high HP applications. Torque converter autos are more than capable nowadays and shift just as fast as a DCT when left in auto mode. It’s honestly more of a marketing ploy similar to the FPC in the 350. The heads, valvetrain and intake manifold play more of a role in its power production than a FPC with a bunch of weight added to offset the vibration issues.
Still might grab a 500 this summer if I can get a good deal as I don’t care about modding anymore.
