No you are making out like simply having more HP is the key. It is clearly not since even with almost twice the power advantage the ZL1 has over the R, a Hellcat can't beat it's lower trim around the same track with the same driver. The Scat Pack even does worse in handling metrics than the Hellcat. Explain that one?
As for Chevy needing it. No need to remind you the ZL1 is 300lbs heavier which matters more than power added when it comes to track performance. So the reality is despite being a much heavier car, the ZL1 can still match the R's performance while being fully loaded in every sense of the word. Now if we were talking about straight line performance, I agree no comparison b/c the R was never designed to do it (except someone thought it did need Drag Mode). But at the same time the ZL1 was not designed to just be fast around a track like the R.
And I never said the SS 1LE is faster. I specifically mentioned I'm sure it is not. And the BDC's at LS proved they aren't as close as the ZL1 is to it. But the SS 1LE is down 70HP and was less than 2 secs slower? Where's that 70hp advantage there?
