Funny, I've seen two Z06's in the wild but no Hellcats? Where are they hiding these things?
I know..... That POS Hellcat probably can't even turn like this.....

I think I'd rather change out a drive-shaft

Na but make sure it's not leaking gas/oil or your computer doesn't have a glitch or you don't have body panels offset or paint issues. There's a thread on the hellcat challenger forum about it all check it out good read. It is fast though.

They're almost at 500000 sold of course there's going to be. I would say 2211 to 500000 aren't good odds though.

Considering both require fewer trips to the dealer than the Challenger which still remains too unreliable to list in the "top three"...

Would not say that but on my challenger dodge has done everything to try to get any warranty work to be not covered while on my Camaro GM has done everything possible to cover something that may not be covered.

I know newmoon is all about singing Dodge praises on a Camaro forum but in this case he has a very good point. If I were shopping for a muscle/pony car in the 50k-60k range it would have to be the Hellcat hands down. Run mid 10's with nothing more than a wheel/tire, driveshaft change while keeping your power train warranty. Wouldn't even need to tune it and void the warranty to run mid 10's. Got to give credit where its due. RESPECT.

Your warranty would be gone. Should you decide to sell in the future you would not only loose all of your mod money, you would also loose value for the car compared to if you had left it stock.

Curious how do you come up with this extra cash, given the mods required on the ZL1 to reach a safe 670-rwhp build? Remember your warranty is gone you better not skimp.

It's much easier to start with 670-rwhp, and just add lightweight wheels and DRs IMO.
