But back in the real world I have no doubt that I'll be faster off the line with the ZL1 because it's got the correct rubber on day 1. Top speed (mythically) is likely the same as well. The Charger Hellcat is at 204 MPH. I believe the ZL1 is at 198. But again, the aero of the Hellcat is helped by those skinny 275's. The fatter ZL1 tires add a lot of windage.
The Hellcat is really a cruiser with a heavy dose of insanity. BTW, the back seats of the Camaro aren't that bad. My 13 year old son is okay back there with some compromise in the passenger seat.
The more I think about it, the more I'm certain I won't add the 1Le wing. It's too much like up badging to me. Thanks for the comments. I'm really looking forward to driving the ZL1 on the local LA roads and hanging with Jay Leno!

Officially, I think the HCs are rated (best time tested thru MT and other sources) at 11.7 bone stock while the ZL1 was 11.4 (same type of testing) bone stock. The HC needs DRs which makes it non-stock while the ZL1 with A10 does low 11s on the factory equipped street tires. But the ZL1 also has some really awesome Goodyear tires in a 305 while the HC has Pirelli P-Zeros (I am not a fan of these) at 275. Put DRs on both and I think you'd have a really good fight on your hands. Roll-ons the HC and ZL1 are neck and neck provided the trans is the auto vs auto or manual vs manual. In either car, the manual will lose to the auto on a roll.
