I'm more concerned about what they failed to disclose. Are the results repeatable?
Which is why I posted times for the ZL1 and GT500 too. What do you think the ZL1 or GT500 would run on a well-prepped track?
There have been far more than three Hellcats at drag strips in the last 6 months. Where are all these basement 11 timeslips hiding???
Of course traction is an issue. It's a 700hp car on 275's. Another testament to Dodge's failure to provide a proper platform for such power.
NONE of the times below are on a prepped surface. ZL1 and GT500 times are even better on a prepped surface. What's your point?

What's up with those Edmunds numbers? The Hellcat and GT500 must have been pulling a trailer. Look at those trap speeds!?! Interesting that the ZL1 is the only one whose speed in the realm of reality... This is why you have to take magazine times with a huge grain of salt.

So I don't know what ppl is talking about hating on another car for! But of course like you said you are on a Camaro forum ,so you should expect something but many challenger and mustang ppl have came on and said that Camaro5 surprised them by not being childish like the mustang and challenger forums!
And actually showed that the ppl on have a love for all three ! So Camaro5 is the best at talking about other cars without always trashing them!

It's better now, but you should've seen it back when the '13 GT500 dropped. The hate was strong on that one. Every thread that mentioned the GT500 was combined and buried in one long, censored and undecipherable thread. Even corvetteform hasn't gone that far, they just moved everything mentioning the Viper down to the "other cars" section.
We'll see how it goes here when the GT350 drops, but the moderation here lately has been just that; moderate. So I have faith.
