I think
@cole3986 's comment is material. When I got in to these cars back in 2008/2009 it was mainly a blue collar buyer, down to earth people on a budget. They (we) modified the cars as we had money to do so and had a good time doing it and built a pretty tight knit community. It's why I started ChallengerFest. A bunch of us on a forum just like this one decided to get together and it was awesome.
When the Hellcats came out and were the bad boys on the block they brought in a different demographic of owner. People with money who have to be the first and or have the "baddest" came in from Vipers, Corvettes, GT500s, and some BMW. These people typically know very little about the cars and how they work, but can tell everyone "I have the baddest". Kinda spoiled the community if I'm honest. I started seeing it at ChallengerFest. We had a pro photographer that would show up to take people's pics for free on the track and give them the images FREE. Some A-Hole went over and told him he didn't "have permission" to photograph him or his car. From then on we had to add language in the rules that participation meant your picture might be taken. Unbelievable and just one example of the BS that started.
Now here we are with the Demon 170 and it's a freaking mess. You can see it on the FB group where a guy posts a picture of his garage and his 170 with 12 other cars in the shot and asks what kind of fuel he should put in the car hoping people pat him on the back for having a garage full of cars. Pathetic really. Or the guy that posts a pic with his 170 and says he bought a 2nd one since he was tired of waiting on the first he ordered. Real goof balls if you ask me.
