haven't really followed Chrysler since I sold mine and changed career paths several years ago, There is nothing in the Chrysler line up that really moves me.

Yep, stealerships will probably have huge markups. Heck the dealers here try to put at least 1000 dollar markup on everything. A KIA Rio with a markup on the sticker is a fun sight I tell ya.

The 6.4L cars have the ability to pull off some very nice stock 1/4 miles given their weight and considering how close they are to ZL1 times, you can't call them turds without doing the same to the Z

But the ZL1 can go around a corner. The 6.4 may be fast in a straight line, but I'm pretty sure a Tahoe can go around a corner faster

Funny how that number keeps climbing the more it gets reported. Last I heard the Hellcat was looking at right around 600hp because they didn't want to step on the Viper's toes.

I know that, but I wasn't referring to a road course.

Wrong. In the only comparison between an as and SRT, the SRT matched or beat the SS handling numbers, that was a 10 model. 11 models got highly updated suspensions along with the 392, 12 the SRTs gained a bilstien 3 mode suspension (ala 13 GT500), no doubt the ZL1 is quicker in the corners, but the the SRTs DO. handle and since 11 has been compared to the best from BMW for their handling abilities.

Careful Stew, saying other cars are as capable as camaros is dangerous in this section haha.

While it may be late, it can still pull ahead.

I will not believe anything until it sits on the showroom floor. And as far as 640 HP........We will see but I don't think so.

I know you were referring to a straight line; a ZL1 isn't built for a straight line.

I said the ZL1 out handles it.
