With the possible exception of making a very risky pass on Ma 'n Pa Kettle's motorhome-rolling palace, with a tick or two's extra time to spare, people would generally pick the magic ride of the MRC-equipped ZL1 over the relatively lumbering gait of the Clysdale...

I have to completely agree with you here. I do love the ride and feel of my ZL1 much better than my buddies 392 challenger. I also agree with most of what you are saying in general about the Challenger. I do however believe in the times they say it will run , and I love that Dodge has finally stepped up with some real power. Maybe I am hung up on the number alone, but I hope to some day to get a chance to run one. Will I give up my ZL1 for one? I don't thinks so.
