With a 650 hp lt4 and 8 speed at 3800 lbs it would be very close to the hellcat in the 1/4 hard to say. Everywhere else handling etc. no contest. Price is another thing... Hellcat is only around 60 k I think. Will be hard to come in less than that considering everything else the z-- will likely offer.

What I think everyone is forgetting is the gt500. With a chassis roughly the same weight as camaro and rumors of 740hp this car would trounce an lt4 zl1. Just like it did last gen. Thinking we may see history repeat. Edge out a handling win but get beat at the strip.

Not necessarily. What I've seen is the hellcat is about 4450 lbs according to motor trend when they tested it against the ZL1. So that is about 6.29 lbs per HP. If the ZL1 or Z28 whatever they call it comes with 640 hp At a weight of 3950 or so it will be at 6.1 lbs per HP

Very close between the 2 and will be a drivers race. And no doubt will slaughter it on the track.
