There can always be an R model or Dragpack version later.

To think that you will be able to produce Demon numbers on the strip and 1LE numbers on the track in the same car for a $65-$75k vehicle may be asking too much. Look at it this way how much work would have to be done to the ZL1-1LE to have it capable of running high 9s at the strip while maintaining its track ability?
It will be the Redeye edition Hellcat and only on the Challengers. The standard Challenger Hellcat will have 717 and the Charger will remain as it is.
