Um, yeah.....
Wait, doesn't the challenger weigh 4200 WITHOUT a supercharger and supporting mods? Yes, the ZL1 is kind of ridiculously heavy, like mercedes AMG Black-heavy, and while you can build a fast car that heavy, it gets harder and harder to do and is just not worth it IMO. I like my SS (manual transmission so it's lighter) and it's at about the limit of what I'd find acceptable for that many doors/seats, etc.
