Well, good for Chrysler Corp. When I first saw the specs on the Hellcat, I figured it would end up being roughly on par with the ZL1. I guess not if its going to be over 700 hp.


That said ... at this point, I would be shocked if there wasn't an ultra-high output LT series engine in development at GM for a next-gen ZR1 (though probably not destined for a ZL1 or Z28). As stupid as they are, bragging rights are important to automakers & I don't see GM being content with building the 3rd most powerful engine in North America.

I must have missed the the 1/4 mile times of the new Z06.

So when has it run poorer numbers than the outgoing GT500? Or is this just speculation on your part?
