Dollar for dollar I would buy the Hellcat. But then again I'm pretty much a straight line racer so it best suits me.

It didn't do too bad either on the short road course against the ZL1.

I can't wait to make that Hellcat go to the kitty box with either my ZL1 or potential Z28.

haha lol you're the man Stephen !! good luck on your decision, oh n btw if you happened to go the other route I would b definitely interested in some of your parts if you decide to sell

I've driven the Hellcat. It is an impressive car in many respects and if I could swing it I would own one with my ZL1.

Not being brand loyal myself, I would buy the 'cat in a second. Since I have no experience in "turning corners"

, the hellcat with a set of drag radials would be just what the doctor ordered, for me.

Enough said.

Agree 100% and it doesn't take much to mod the ZL1 If you want that kind of power. Just a better car. I even like the ZL1 better than a GT-R because they only come in automatic. Not to mention its less than half the price. LOL!!

I am very interested in seeing what the Hellcat Charger looks like in person when released. That type of straight line performance in a wicked looking 4-door would be more impressive IMO than the Challenger. It would be a nice 2nd car.

It's nice hearing from someone who has owned both brands and get feedback.
