It weighs more than a ZL1, without MRC as a Standard Feature. It doesn't have brakes like the Z/28.
By the time you "fully equip it" for ALL motorsports challenges, and challengers (small case), the price will NOT be sub-$60...
FACT.

You do realize both challenger and ZL1 are running 6 piston brembos. On weight ZL1 and challenger are close. Both have active suspension and for basically same price you get more torque and horsepower. To me sounds like ZL1 just went down in flames.
If you want a challenger to compete with Z28 it would need to start as a RT with scat pack. based on cost differences I could do allot to the challenger and still be ahead.
No matter how you cut this round ford and Dodge have the lead. As much as I like the challenger I suspect the new SVT will be taking allot of the focus in the next months if it comes out with 750HP at 3600 pounds. It will be a monster.
