These are driver's cars, not straight line Novocain machines like some of its competitors.
You don't understand because I doubt you have any experience with heavy, high powered, RWD-only cars. On a normal street, it will be struggling for traction just like any Hellcat. You will never be able to put the power fully down. With this power/weight ratio, it should easily be running sub 3.0. Probably fun to drive on the track and a struggle on cold and rainy days. But then the question - why would you choose this four door sedan as your dedicated track car? There is a reason why the German competitors have all implemented an AWD in their high powered sedans. This was not to steal the driving joy from "enthusiasts" like you but to make the power safe and usable.
Why would anyone choose a fat sedan or especially a stupid SUV as a track car? I have lots of friends who are track rats and they all have actual sports cars for the track; aside from some GT3's, I struggle to think of any that even pretend to have rear seats, much less nancy awd.

Some people like to drive the car to the limits and occasionally f things up, but know that you had something to do with either result. Some of these current awd things seem about as fun as just turning on your PS5 and "driving" on it.
