You are correct. I stand corrected. The 1413 was for 2SS and it looks like there were 413 1SS's built which I missed on the chart.

I guess the point is, the sales on 1LE's suck for such an awesome package and such a good price point.

What is wrong with going fast in a straight line? Oh wait, our camaros get beat there so we have to run drag racing down. I'm sure straight line performance would matter more here if the camaro was king at the quarter. For me, I would rather have a 10 to 11 second factory built car with a warranty than a car that is faster at a road coarse. The later isn't as usable in the real world. Think about. When you have a bud with and they want to know if your hot rod is fast, what do you do? You mash the go peddle for a short lic.
I don't know how anyone could possibly knock a 707hp factory car of any make and call themselves a car guy. Guess I will never get Fanboyism no matter what brand you sleep with. I know I'm signing up for one and I'll park it along side my ZL1 unless it ruins me for it.

Five years ago if you told me a Camaro enthusiast forum would talk down drag racing I literally would not have believed you. It's like an Orwellian nightmare.

I havent been around here long, but I did post a vid of the 10.85 runs. The moderator moved it in here, to be buried, so I believe you are correct. Big Brother is watching, and they dont want you watching!!!

Exciting times right now, and Im not missing out on this HC. Hate to see my 392 go, but this is just too much to pass up

No. It was put here because we already had 10 threads about the Hellcat. You know the rule that says "check before you post". That's why it was put here.

That's funny right there! I don't think any of us want to get into a discussion of interior build quality! Let's stick to exciting things on the performance front for all the makes. This has been a great discussion about the joys of American muscle, of all flavors.

FWIW, I'd be happy to make a few turns at the track with you if you like!

Something being overlooked by some is a relatively modern convenience I suspect Fiat-Chrysler paid a LOT of attention to: electronics.

"Skinny" tires aren't so skinny when the launch electronics are turned up to "KILL!"

The other data missing is the torque curve, and when/where all that boosted low end grunt hits. Again, electronics come into play...

You'll also notice this one is Automatic-equipped, which adapts well to a fully integrated electronic system.

There are New OEM cars with less than 700 hp running 10s in the 1/4-mile...

I did check and there was (1) No post with the runs I mentioned and (2) I checked the rules and there is nothing to say that you must add your post to a 30 + page thread that is already going.

Anyway, doesnt matter. I just cant wait for the rematch with the ZL-1 I ran into a couple of months ago lol

Wait you mean to tell me you really think the car/pass in the promo was THE actual 10.8 pass?? Lol

That 10.80 pass could very well have been with the 6 speed.

Who knows, dodge may release another video of the auto specifically bettering that time.

Its also worth noting that i just got word that it ran that 10.8 in Colorado. 6000ft DA. Sounds unbelievable to me so ill be doing some more research and see what I find.
