jay leno just did a review of the hell cat challenger... and yeah it looked like he was impressed the 707 hp with 20mpg vs the old 426 hemi 9 mpg gas hog 70 challenger jay also owns but if you read jays face he wasn't as impressed as the corporate dude who brought him the car to beat on for hour..... Ole jay kept going on about how it handle great for a large car comparing it to the 250 hp Mercedes he once drove..... I would go out on a limb and say i think jay expected more from the kitty...... so being the zl1 is much lighter....i wouldn't count it out all together as still being the top contender in the muscle car world now i wish i could drive the zl1 lol

I didn't get that at all. I thought he really seemed to like it. He did a nice burnout at the end. He's a stick man , and I think he would have felt more at home with the manual.

If you want Jay to lose it over a car, it needs to run on steam!

I sorta felt the same way, the Mopar guy seemed nervous as hell. Lol

owhite3003 · 08-04-2014, 10:47 PM

I loved watching it run 0to60 with and without a pro driver and couldn't get it under 4 . 5 sec.

JackalopeZL1 · 08-04-2014, 10:56 PM
