I wouldn't take it anywhere in the 5 boroughs. Ny departed the going to the shithole route and has no signs of slowing down. Between robbery, murder, vandalism anytime you go out there unless it's with a crew of cars don't show up in that car.

 

Are you in NY city or state? If you are out in a (relatively) low population/crime area, you'll probably be fine. In NY City, you'll just be feeding the gangsters...

 

City life is for people who can't afford to move or know no better IMO

 

Why would ANYONE move to NYC???????????

 

For a stupid money job I'd do it! [emoji3]

Upstate NY (which is the vast rural majority of the state) is a world away from New York City.
When people think of NY they mainly think of NY City.
No problem having a Hellcat in NY (just stay away from the city centers).

 

Nothing wrong with NYC and I’d live there in a nice place in Manhattan. That being said I wouldn’t have a hellcat in NYC unless you have a private garage facility and/or valets. No street parking or public garages 100%.

but then your paying $1500 a month just for a parking spot…..

 

As someone who lives in NJ 30 minutes away from the city and has commuted to the city via train daily for over a decade I can say that the crime issues with New York are vastly over blown by 3rd parties with specific political agendas to push. I will bet 9/10 negative respondents in this thread either do not do not live within 1000 miles of New York or have a political agenda.

By all accounts and measures crime in New York is at decades lows. Is there still crime? Of course it’s a large city but will you get carjacked and mugged the minute you step your foot out of the door? No.

As to answer to your question, I would never willingly bring my hellcat to the city. Not for fear of being carjacked but because New York drivers are maniacs. If you live in the city I would recommend a metro card and stay off the roads by all means. Save the Hellcat for the surburbs.

 

Not smart, but anybody with a hellcat knows that smart and fun are the worst kind of enemies.

 

Syracuse NY area............no problems, the bad guyz like to rob the mall

 

Never ask someone who actually lives there. Most people just cannot be objective.

NYC auto thefts reach 16-year high, mirroring nationwide trend

Experts say one reason for the rise might be high prices on used cars and parts.

If you are a reasonably cautious person I think it would be fine. I live near Detroit and have multiple friends who have had MOPARs stolen. I always park mine in the garage at night, avoid going downtown with it, and avoid parking it in any lot that it's not either in my view or is in a very good area like my city. Only ever had one problem at a Walmart near my work place which is in a not so great but not awful area. Be smart with it and you should be fine.
