The hellcat is a 1 trick pony using overwhelming power as a blunt force instrument, which is what it was meant to do anyway.

I dunno. I was right there with you until I looked up the ZL1's stats:
The ZL1 curb weight is listed at ~4130 or so. Without driver.
Using this calculator

and a 200lb driver that gives a trap of 118 which doesn't appear to be too far off.
