So now the ZL1 has been on top since 2017 MY, it will take this new Redeye from Dodge to beat it in a quarter mile and that is if FCA throws a decent tire on it and if it can put that power to the ground effectively.
So that is what I mean. It basically will have taken Dodge 2 MYs to beat the ZL1 in a straight line provided it meets the aforementioned criteria. And it will have taken Ford 3 MYs to beat them and even then the ZL1 won't be the worst at everything. So it basically is taking a lot of time and everything to be throw at the ZL1 and even then it still will be a very capable car and will still be much cheaper than these other two.

I agree with bhobbs, I think your drinking the kool-aid... Chevy choose to go track with the Gen 6 car, Hellcat can still take a ZL1 in the 1/4. Dodge is not playing catch-up, they are on the offensive. ZL1 is not their target, with “only” 650hp they aren’t concerned. Dodge came out with the 797hp Redeye to reclaim the top horsepower spot from the 755hp ZR1
ZL1 isn’t cheaper either, last I saw they start around $63k where the Hellcat is now $58k and Redeye is $69k. Ford is the one caught with the tail between their legs.
