Yes, the SRT8 had an N/A engine but still sold over 11,000 units from 2012 to 2014. The ZL1 sold a little over a 1000 more in that same span. And there are still new ZL1s from all model years on lots.
Not apples to apples if all you are comparing if one had a blower or not but that wasn't the point. And - if you consider the N/A car sold nearly as much in the same 3 year period as the ZL1 that is more like apples to apples.
Is the ZL1 a better car performance-wise? Absolutely! But why doesn't it sell? Why DON'T you see them on the street?
How many '15 ZL1s will be sold vs Hellcats? I would imagine the Hellcat will outsell the ZL1 in the '15 MY.
My point is that GM continues to build good cars but lets them die a slow death due to lack of marketing, no upgrades (and I'm sorry but color changes and putting a color HUD in does not constitute much change or growth) and not listening to the buying public.
I would HOPE GM would take a look at what Dodge did with the Hellcat and build a Camaro at least as sick as that beast. We know that GM can but...
Will it? Who knows?
I sure want them to!
