ZL1 vs Challenger




With launch control, what's the excuse?

Troll number one reporting for duty sir!

Remember when the ZL1 wasn't going to have the heat soak and traction issues that plagued the GT500?

And the "well it least it looks better" excuse used with Camaro vs Mustang discussions won't cut it here. Challengers are far and away the best looking of the three.

That is all.

This was a drivers issue plain and simple. They had no clue on how to keep the traction to the pavement. Launch control is not the cure all for lack of experience.
All i can say is that it is not the car on this one. Its the driver.

I completely agree. The ZL1 can run much faster than a 13.3 @109MPH. This seems to be a driver problem than a ZL1 problem.

Yeah... he missed a gear or something at the start...

His reaction is faster then the Chally just drives past him at the start...

Really? Challengers are the ugliest turds on the road. I'd drive a Nissan Leaf before I'd drive a Challenger.
