Now, for the sake of clarity, General Motors owns the Chevrolet brand does it not? And the Corvette is a Chevrolet, no? So in response to joeybsyc, I asked to clarify if he was referring to the Camaro (my post #1746), or all of GM, as certain Corvettes are in fact as fast or faster than the Hellokitty. Yes, lets put things in perspective. The Hellokitty is a $60,000+ performance car is it not? Are buyers not free to choose other higher-priced performance cars or are we forced to purchase Mustang's, Camaro's and Challengers? The Hellokitty afterall costs more than a C7 Z51. Some of us might want to turn a corner now and then. It's great to have choices no?

And I stand by that statement. The Hellcat is quicker than anything GM makes, INCLUDING the much more expensive Corvette, and it's various option packages. It's WAY quicker than a stock ZL1. I don't like that fact any more than you do, but it IS a fact.

All the guys jumping on the Corvette bandwagon should be really upset because if it's faster than the hellcat, it's a lot faster than our Camaros. Curse you GM!

They should have spent all that R&D time/Money on improving the SRT8 and R/T....imagine if they actually put some time into a new frame...GM and Ford get it....Just Dodge is running up thinking all a car needs is HP...when you make a competition killer with 707HP and you only put on 275 rears....I can't take that seriously. |

Hellcat will be faster than those old Corvette times. Already certified at 11.2. Amazing to think the big Challenger can beat those lightweight corvettes... The Camaros don't even stand a chance.

Not even the SRT engineer with the car could snag 11.2 Then the excuses started coming in... 1. Well the track needs to be professionally prepped by NHRA 2. You need a very skilled drive 3. Only attainable with the automatic 4. Who knows what more excuses will come This is what happens when you try and act better than everyone else and post "Hero" stats. You shoot yourself in the foot. You can blame the 275s or the temperature or the wind resistance but in the end of the day. How they deliver the car to you is what they claim can make 11.2. In reality i think it would come down to a driver's race. The 707 is being way over hyped...it can't even beat the GT500 in power to weight ratio. Like I said the 11.2 was a hero number and a bad move for Dodge. PS just look at the price "59950!!! And you get 11.2 at the strip!!!!" Not true. Mandatory destination charge 60750 then automatic 62750...they can't even be honest about the pricing... |

So many excuses, so much denial...I'm a chevy fan too but it's time to quit making excuses for them. I hope GM gets on the ball and soon. The Hellcat is for real, and it's not just a little bit quicker than a ZL1, it's a LOT quicker. It's quicker than even the top level Corvette too, and cheaper than either one. End of story.
