The ZL1 is the benchmark for this class. Picked by 10 out of 10 auto mags.

I tried to look up the specs of the Hellcat on its page but not much there. 20" rims but no mention of the tire size (look like 225/15s). Handling says bigger FRONT brakes, thicker sway bars, gas shocks.?.?.?

I'm glad Dodge decided to get into the game. i just hope you won't be puking into your mouth after the press puts it through the paces.

Yes you might be right but I have found that Dodge will move quite a bit more and if you work at it you end up getting it at the Chevy Ford price

Hmmm,

Seems the ZL1 was faster than the following vehicles at the ring:

Lamborghini Murciélago LP670-4 SV

Audi R8 V10

Pagani Zonda S

All above 500 HP.

What is your definition of slow?

I'm just excited to see production 700hp cars. The maker matters not at all to me

Chevy or Ford price is nice! And I thought a Dodge salesman was playing when he said that he could get me a 52,000 dollar new 2013 SRT for the same price as a 2012 Camaro SS that was 42,000! But he almost passed out when he check the window sticker of his SRT because he didn't believe me that it was 52,000. Well I just knew how much SRT's was and are going for! So my guess is that he most likely couldn't have got it down to 42,000 and his mouth just got him in trouble.

Prices here are quite a bit different RT Classic's are 43-49K SRT's start at 52k and can get close to 60k. I did get a big discount off of my RT, and I have talked to one of the
dealers here couple of times about trading up to the SRT he stated that they would move quite a bit on price.

It is easy for the dealer to find a buyer for the RT.
