Dodge came out with the 797hp Redeye to reclaim the top horsepower spot from the 755hp ZR1

ZL1 isn’t cheaper either, last I saw they start around $63k where the Hellcat is now $58k and Redeye is $69k. Ford is the one caught with the tail between their legs.
Dodge is playing the only card they can and it’s the same one they used in 2015 on the exact same car. Ford and Chevy will be coming out with gen7 soon so Dodge dropped more power into a car that already can’t handle what it has.

Chevy made a quantum leap in 2016 with the Alpha Camaro. It took Ford two years to narrow the gap with the GT, going on five years since last GT500 and Dodge isn’t even in the same conversation. The SS, 1LE, ZL1 and ZL1 1LE are three dimensional, world class. Dodge isn’t in the same sandbox.
