I can't wait until we get one in at the dealership.

How do you think a hellcat compares to this zl1?

I think this car will beat a Challenger Hellcat stock for stock. It may be a close race in a straight line from a roll but that's about it. More tire, less weight and possibly the benefit of the 10 speed should make up for the power deficit.

Hopefully they did a better job managing the heat with this car than the C7Z and CTS-V.
I understand the whole Euro fighter thing but i dont really see it as much as say we used to. M3 used to be the benchmark for everything and i feel like that is beyond us.

I havent sat in a 6th gen yet, but ive driven countless RS5(our closest comparison for the ZL1), and i dont see the ZL1 taking away any RS5 buyers.

two different markets in my opinion.
