Yep, again it's not as much about the weight difference in roll on contests (a big factor for 1/4 mile runs of course, and 800 lbs is significant), a fully modded Type R running ethanol and putting down about 500 to the wheels - no shock at all. ZL1s average 540 to 560 to the wheels

Horsepower and aero, horsepower and aero - it's why these idiots quoting power to weight ratios in bike vs McLaren rolls get it wrong as the McLaren walks away (anything but an H2)

So you mean to tell me that a RAM TRX will be on par with a Hellcat? Since you say weight has nothing to do with roll racing. Sweet!

I don't think that's what he meant, weight plays a factor but its LESS of a factor when you're already at elevated speeds. Once you start approaching triple digits, aero/drag, and power is what matters most.
