Yes, and if the GT500 could dead hook with a trap speed of 125 it would produce a roughly 10.9 ET in a 3900lb car for $5,000 less than what Dodge is charging for the Autocat. I'm struggling to see how the Hellokitty offers anything more than what has already been done? The GT500 manual appears every bit as fast as the Hellokitty with magical 8-speed automatic. The ZL1 will likely (track tests TBD) be faster around anything with a turn. But the Dodge is more roomy!!! so there's that.
