Well since I already have 2 f Body's I may just do this, I drove a 2013 SRT8 Challenger today....WOW, as much as I like the 1LE, I might just go with the SRT8.....

MYDLIFECRISIS · 05-04-2014, 05:21 PM

BOO! Just kiddin'. I have a couple of friends that have them,,,they're nice. Heavy though, about 300# more than the Camaro.

They are nice cars. But do not compare with the numbers the 1LE can do on the track.

First you are on the ZL1 board..... The current SRT challenger is a dog next to a stock ZL1. And the ZL1 is so easy to mod..... and if you take it to a road course the ZL1 is so far ahead on one lap.. it is completely out of sight... but hey its your money.

I have driven many miles in an SRT8 challenger. And currently own a ZL1. If you are taller (as I am 6'3") the challenger is nice with the extra room for your head and shoulders and a passenger. But in terms of power, the ZL1 blows it out of the water. Especially in the curves.

That's what you wanted to hear!

The 2015 challenger is suppose to lose some weight adding to it the hellcat motor. If what they say is true it will best the ZL1 unless gm ups the anti.

Who is taking orders for 2015? GM dealers out here said they would not be any orders till end of summer.

And yeah, If I buy one more then likely I will, I suspect I will upset a few when I buy one just to strip the parts I want off it for my current ride.

Again Jessrayo , like I said I have 2 f Bods, a 07 Yukon XL , and personally l can say GM has some crappy , cracked up int., also my Yukon has several electronic issues, my 95 TA has cracked door panels, dash since 96, my highly modded 2000 WS6 with 39,000 miles has the clear coat that bubbles up on the t bar, cracked door panels, dash since 01.
also I have not driven a new Camaro, But I have been wanting one for a long time, the int. is cheap looking, the rear window loos to be hard to see out of, the SRT has a nice int. it really is pretty quick. Also with all these issues GM customer service sucks, and again I currently have 3 gm cars , so why not try something different....

MichiganSRT · 05-04-2014, 08:48 PM

the new SRT8 will do nothing against the 1LE on the road track even. Granted it comes out with the supercharged hellcat setup as a 2015 the ZL1 will have competition, and hopefully it does, competition is good for both of the companies.

Are you telling me that cars that have been in the sun for almost 20 years have paint issues. That's a travesty.

Cars don't last forever. Even the electrical issues in your anything-but-new Yukon are better than the industry standard.
