That doesn't make it a fair comparison does it? Four independent reviews have been posted with results for ALL THREE cars. The results are not that impressive for the Dodge.

Medisin I know we have gone back and forth on you excluding the cars.com review, but here is something I just noticed, no one here except you is comparing it with the gt500 or zl1. The main arguing going on here is can the car run the 11.2 dodge said it could. Cars.com came the closest with the 11.4 yet you continually dismiss it bc they didn't do a test like this with the gt500 or zl1....well that's not what people are saying. They also did it the way everyone wanted it done, they went to a drag strip and posted times lips. Not with timing equipment on the car, but a tracks timing system and you still dismiss the 11.4 run like it never happened bc they didn't test the gt500 or zl1 like it.
Now they went to test dodges claim of 11.2 did it happen no. They did not run the number dodge said who knows why, JOE will maybe say amped up test mule, others say bad track conditions, others say the car simply can't do it. I just want to know why you ignore the one test that did it the most proper way, with video and actual timeslips lol. It has nothing to do with the gt500 or zl1
If you want to say its not the norm, it was hero run or why was only 1 out of 5 able to evencome close or whatever cool with me. That's bad for dodge I get it. It makes them look really bad that they made such a big deal about it and only 1 review came close, didn't even get it ut only came close yeah that looks bad.
