Cars I haven't seen...
So I live in a suburb of Portland in a relatively affluent area so tend to see a lot of high end cars. Not uncommon at all to see new Corvettes, multitude of Porsches, Audi RS5 and R8's, the occasional Ferrari or Lambo, plus more BMW's than I would prefer. However, I have not seen a new Hellcat, ATS-V (or any ATS for that matter), GT350, Camaro Z28, Lexus RC-F. I just find it interesting. I have no problem with any of these cars and would enjoy seeing them. Some of these are low production or are fairly new to market so I can see that however some others have been out for a while. Just find it interesting.

If you live in a place that is wealthy enough that Ferrari / Lambo priced cars are common, I don't think any of the "value for the money" cars are that appealing.
I know that I wouldn't prioritize getting a 700hp $65k hellcat if I could buy a 700hp $400k aventador An F80 M3 is a great commuter/beater car, so I'll be sure to keep mine around in anticipation of being that wealthy |

I, too, live in a very affluent area and also haven't seen the cars you mentioned (sans GT350 - I saw one last week). I saw more P1s last week than RC-Fs (1-0).

Don't get me wrong, it is a nice modestly affluent area but there are certainly nicer areas around. A lot of the money comes from people living in the "country" outside of town. Still, its not like every other car is a high end, german car. Plenty of regular camaro's, mustangs and chargers running around. I think this is why I am so surprised. I would think I would see some of the cars I first mentioned.

I live in an average income area. I haven't seen many of the higher end cars that you've seen. But... I have seen a handful of Hellcats. They're a good looking (and sounding) car. A few GT350/GT500s, ATS, and high end Camaros.

I live about a mile from Ferrari of Tampa Bay, ever since that dealership opened up I see a lot of Italian cars, Mclarens, etc on the main roads here. I have seen two Hellcats on the road; theyre nothing special to look at, other than knowing it's a Hellcat.

Around here, I've seen all those cars except in ATS-V. There's an LF-A around here with Montana plates, I'm surprised I don't see more supercars and exotics around here with Montana plates. Also seen Veyrons, McLarens, quite a few Hellcats, AMG GT, Ford GT and the like. But this is a very affluent area so it's not surprising. Hell there's a Bentley/Aston Martin/McLaren dealership across the street from where I work. If I got a dollar for everytime I saw a Tesla, I probably wouldn't need to work. |

You Arlington guys have to tell me where that P1 is around. I haven't seen one yet. There is an orange RC-F I see every now and then. If you commute around the DMV, you can get a totally different car show depending on which way you drive. I drive from DC out to Reston, and see my share of exotics and luxury cars (can't throw a rock without hitting a Tesla). My wife drives from DC to Baltimore and sees all of the muscle cars.

Long Island is pretty similar. Haven't seen a Veyron or LFA, but a lot of other super cars I have like a Carerra GT or F40. Hellcats are pretty common now, same with C7 vettes, GTRs, Telsa's (I feel like everyone and their mom owns one) and even 458's get seen a lot as well. I have yet to see any P1's, 918 or LaF's though.

Saw my first Hellcat and Z28 this weekend. Only outstanding vehicles are the LF-A and ATS-V.
