Ummm...ZL1 and GT500 taillights?

Seriously, it's good to see Dodge finally bringing a heavy-hitter to the game. I just hope GM is smart enough to build an LT4 powered gen 6 ZLI.

It's in the hands of an Italian mad man. It will be more than the ZL1

The hellcat is going to own the strip...especially with that 8 speed auto and its likely 650 - 700 HP. (well...maybe not if they put stupid tires on it lol).

Be surprised if it is allowed to have more than the 640 HP the Viper has.

Aiming for "me too"

Chevy's approach to performance is the most comprehensive but also still conservative. I'm very proud to own ZL1.

A guy brought in a 2013 SRT8 392 today. Nice car but the interior seemed less than the GT500 and ZL1

I like it a lot! A whole lot better looking than the previous challys.

But I'm not so impressed I'll buy one. Cuz I won't. But I do like this version.

I'd imagine drag. But mate this new chassis is more sporty

Well, using your ZL1 as a comparison is not a fair race. ......but I would love to have some of your mods for my SS.

Now, if a new Hellcat owner has the same cash flow for similar mods as yours, that would be a contest......but a bone stock Hellcat against a bone stock ZL1 will be a good match.

Agree - Viper is the top of the SRT food chain just as the Vette is for Chevy.

can't believe the whining about GM not upping the power for the ZL1, when this hellcat is not even on the roads yet...I'm sure GM left some meat on the bone, for the next round. Consumers are the real winners, anyway.
