A stage 3 Z06 will put a car or more on a 6th ZL1. So with that in mind, On a 60+ to top speed highway roll, I see a 2 car win for a Hellcat by 180. Less as you go down.


100% correct.

And those 275 tires also let the Hellcat get beyond 200 MPH. Less drag/friction.

But with less downforce, the Hellcat is a scarier ride. Yes, it pulls maniacally well beyond 150 MPH, but that lack of downforce is more than a tad scary. I know this 1st hand.

A ZL1 will test your skills. A Hellcat will test your balls. Both tests are a LOT of fun!
