We get to see, test, build, modify and drive many late model domestic offerings at the NicKey Performance shop.

The Hellcat is heavy, but it does have some advantages. A trap speed similar to a car weighing in at 500 lbs more would indicate a substantial HP advantage. The HC also weight transfers at launch with the stock suspension and can hook very well on Drag Radials.

I believe that GMs sub 12 sec ZL1 1/4 mile ETs were accomplished with Drag Radials and
an 18" ZO6 wheel. They're best was low 12s at mid teens trap speed on stock rubber. So GM to GM comparison 11.40s @127 on street tires with no mods is a huge improvement.

Very true... that 127 trap was what excited me the most.

The 5th gen ran 11.96 on stock tires, they put on drag radials just to make sure it ran well with them because they knew people would be doing that. He was very specific that the time was on stock tires. Really can't wait to see the 6th Gen performance on some strips!

My main point is that as a reference GM rated the 5th Gen ZL1 at:

12.0 @ 119 mph Auto/12.1 @ 119 mph manual
0-60 mph = 3.9 auto A6/4.0 Sec manual M6

The 6th Gen ZL1 rating at:

11.40 @ 127 mph A8

0-60 mph in 3.5 seconds

This is a significant improvement in theses particular performance metrics.

Thanks for the correction, that is what I meant, even the 8 speed LT1 / SS are quick, just not that quick, stock.

Didn't the ZL1's time at the Ring of 7:29.60 already beat the GT350R's time?

The official GT350R time was never released by Ford. Horsepower Kings released a supposed GT350R time of 7:32 but that has never been confirmed as being authentic.

ZL1 is on the Supplier Pricing site and I'm really liking the price now.
