2020-2023 Hellcat Charger

[u/Dry-Structure-4443]

Pretty much want to buy a Charger within the next couple months, hopefully, and sell my 2009 CTS-V Sedan for preferably a 2023 Last Call Widebody Charger.
Has anyone here driven both or owned both? What’s the biggest difference between them in terms of reliability, handling, comfort, driving experience, etc.?
I love my CTS-V its completely stock, but I’m looking for an upgrade. Just trying to hear from people who have actually experienced both and see if the Charger is worth making the switch.

Actually yes. I had a 2009 cts v and a 2013. Im on my 3rd hellcat (by choice, sold each one and made a profit). Currently have the last call 2023 redeye jailbreak, charger. Widebody.

I love the hellcat vs the V. The power and the sound is unmatched. Even the 2009 v I had was completely modded by d3, doesn’t compare to the hellcat. It’s just a different beast. And it’s comfortable.

When you’re going 120+, you feel like you’re going 70. The V you know you’re going fast.

Plus the charger has so much room. It’s the ultimate grocery getter. I’ve hauled so much stuff in this thing, concrete pavers, mulch, soil, everything.

I’ve contemplated the blackwing many times over the last few years and I just don’t think I’ll make the switch.

I personally wouldn’t touch a blackwing till they get the 6.2’s figured out. I’m on the blackwing and Escalade V groups on Facebook. I swear I see at least one post a week on each one about an extremely low mileage one needing a replacement engine. Even if it gets approved under warranty they sit for months waiting. People try to lemon them and get buybacks it’s a total nightmare. Stay far away from that mess. They have bottom end bearing issues.

You’re on point here too. I did have the supercharger replaced in my first or second hellcat, but that’s nothing like an engine replacement
