Unfortunately, my 2016 HC M6 with 10k miles was totalled last week after an car coming toward me suddenly turned left in front of me resulting in a hard T-bone collision. I'm in no big rush to get a replacement. I'm going to try to be patient, which sometimes is easier said than done. I thought I would get some opinions here. I could get another Hellcat, a Scatpack widebody ...maybe a C8? Let me know your suggestions. Thanks!

You need to buy what you want. Myself I would buy another Hellcat with the taxi cab option:p

If I’m not racing or commuting in heavy traffic, I’d want another M6. Otherwise, the field is wide open.

Seems like the HC held up really well in the accident, I'd get another one.

Thank you. My 10 year old son and I are a little banged up.

Yes it did. This impact was pretty close to 45-50 mph. Zero time to react.

No. The insurance company wants way too much for it.

Damn truly glad you are ok and not so sure of your same story in a C8. But yeah C8 is for sure bad ass and I’d switch it up if I had the chance.

You're only allowed to buy a C8 if you already have a HC/RE/Demon


Just saying...

out of curiosity, how much they want for the buy back, and how fast were you going when you hit? Glad you're good; hope all are fine and not too shaken up.

I hope you are OK, this looks like a serious accident. Myself, I will be having bad dreams, panic attacks and general fear, after seeing this picture. I may have to call my psychiatrist , this is traumatic!!!
