Whaaaat!

Can we retrofit this to ZL-1 ?

Cool....I like it.

There's an Australian company that sold such an interchiller for the 5th gen ZL1s and I'm sure I'll come out for the 6th Gen.

Folks were doing this to the Gen 5 from the aftermarket...

Dodge is really going all out. The car is going to look aftermarket...from the factory!

What a great concept... love the idea of adding it to Get 6 ZL-1 when it becomes available...

I've heard of this before, but always surprised to hear the parasitic horsepower loss is exceeded by the level of cooling it provides.

Cool.

i may end up owning my first mopar. I absolutely love the fact that a car company has decided to build something like this. Are you listening GM? Make the COPO a street legal car and stop the insanity of building 69 a year.

I still think the COPO cars will thrash this thing...can't go that fast and be street legal.

while I would certainly hope you are right, my point is take the COPO and do just enough to get it on the street.

I get it, I get it....but even though the demon will be the ultimate streetable one-trick pony, couldn't chevy have given us this as opposed to 57 heat exchangers? Lol. I'm still going ZL1 because that's my preference, but man....I can't help but feel a little envy.

I guess with the heat exchanger count at 11, maybe GM could have named it the ZL11

The ones for 5th gens shutoff wot... would spin the compressor too fast... ac disengages at wot, no loss

Its about being consistent and not losing power when you hot lap

The idea about them is it cools the charge down before and after the run...

5th gen ones are not meant for road course use...
