Now, the Hellcat definitely has something going on. Either they made the holy grail drivetrain and gotten below 10% or there is huge inconsistency in which case I'm not sure how they got the engine certified. Hellcats around me almost always put down 620-650 RWHP. I've seen a few putting down high 600s like 670-680 RWHP. We've had this discussion on this forum before and I've been a proponent of the Hellcat being underrated. I recall a Mopar engineer or something saying the Hellcat engine is a 740 HP class engine, which would line up a lot more. Again, I'm not sure about all of this but just go look at the stock dyno threads on the Hellcat forums. They're definitely a happy engine.

All of this makes the ZL1 all the more impressive when compared to the redcateyedemon or whatever marketing mopar is pushing now. I must say they are damn good at promoting their product but if they don't bring back the VIPER they'll never have my attention...
