Just ignore him like most of us are.

People like that suck the fun out of these types of debates.

Besides those who play serious with their ride will mod it anyway ,,,, so you never know what lurks under the hood of that ride next to you...That's where the true excitement is, If we all left them stock then it all becomes predictable and sorry but soon to be boring. I'm good with it all...keep it close keep it stirred and exciting.
King of the showroom will never hold a ton of weight no matter who it turns out to be with competition this close, not to mention track vs straight line vs likes, looks, and so on. Im just enjoying the times while we have them....
I like the way you put it. We need more people like you around these parts !!

4 magazine tests for the ZL1 all in the 12's. The GT500 is lucky to get in the 11's with the horrible F1 tires. The Hellcat with 707HP,LC and a new 8 speed auto should be in the 11's consistently, but until it gets into people's hands we won't know.

I stand corrected 11.9 not 11.7 this was the article I was referring to a few posts back I knew it was GM something.

I am not disputing the numbers, it's which tracks and the overall ratings. I will come up with one that shows different results. It's all in how you spin it. For instance, where is VIR? Where is the ring?

Hellcat is going to be an absolute monster in a 1/4 mile situation. I haven't noticed any ring times, but I suspect it's going to break a few hearts there too. GM needs to build a competitor or she's going to be left in the dust rather quickly. If GM could just get the weight under control...that would be a massive step in the right direction. The ZL1 is on the b team as far as I'm concerned, and I hate to say that.

What? The ZL1 was on top in 2012. Memories fade quickly I guess. How did Dodge join the A team when it finally entered the game after being a no show for decades?
