Top Tier Drag Race! ZL1 LE vs GT500 vs Hellcat Redeye
 

Posted over at Edmund's. Helluva time to be alive!https://youtu.be/OkZWEq262Mo

IMO, it should have been a regular ZL1, not LE for a drag race.

Went how I expected, now lets get them on a road course!

You would think that would have been the first race versus any straight line outing between the two cars.

Kinda makes me believe Ford gave explicit instructions with these press cars not to put the GT 500 on a race course against the Zl1.

Reason how I know is Ford has not officially released Nurburgring GT 500 track time numbers nor footage performing their "incredible" feat on hte same track a zl1 1le put down a sub 7:20 time.

They know they can't justify a sticker price like that and getting spanked by a main competitor down 100hp!! :smiling1:

So whats the point of a Redeye again lol? Most power, but heaviest and worst tech plus super expensive and can't even win in a straight line race what it was made for. I guess they do sound good. Id rather have a more balanced all around car, i guess that's why i own a ZL1 haha. I know the GT500 is a beast in a drag race, ready to see the head to head on a road course also.

Turned out as expected, I’m ok if the ZL1 even came in 3rd. $15000-$20000 price difference, a base ZL1 would increase the savings to $20000-$25000. Just goes to show the bang for buck a ZL1 truly is. Would love to see them on a track with turns in stock form. But would also like to see how the ZL1 with $10000 in reliable mods and $10000 in the wallet would do against the same competitors. I compare prices and there is one car in this competition that is far more affordable.

Paging BlaqHole for a lengthy bashing of these fake results and cost analysis. :fear:

Well as long as the Ford fans are happy then that is all that matters. To them, 11.3 out of 760 HP costing $94K is a reason to jump for joy. And they'll go back to driving their base model GTs and S197 GTs and be happy that a Mustang can finally beat a ZL1 at something.
Are you buying one? I'm seriously asking.

Oh no, I never do a first year car.

Pretty cool video!

11:70 that the Redeye was able to get is the same time that the 1320 has done bone stock with original tires and seats in. I did not watch the Video and not sure if this was done on a prepped track, I would like to see these 3 on a drag strip because the Challenger and the Mustang would be in the 10's.

I guess the 1320 vs the ZL1 would be a drivers race

great video. Love the look of the mustang and camaro. Dodge needs to step it up and bring the viper back out.

Ford doesn't post lap times. They don't use it as a tool like GM does. Ford lets the press do the testing

Go back the last 20 years, there is no Ford "Official" lap time of any performance vehicle at the ring. No Mustang, No Fiesta ST, No Focus ST, No Focus RS, no Ford GT in 04, no new Ford GT, no GT 350, No GT500. It's not like they just decided to sit out recently it's just something they have never done

to be honest I am even surprised Ford gave a 0-60 and 1/4 for the GT500

AKA....he needs to save for many many years to be able to afford one.
