ZL1 vs Hellcat - Page 8

Jeffro19 · 03-30-2016, 01:03 PM

Yes I can't wait to see the ZL1 in person. Gonna be a sweet car. GM Will probably get my money for this car.

ZL1 for the win. Ten percent less weight along with ten percent less power.

Bigger tires and MRC shocks

Road course
Drag strip
Top speed runs are probably near equal with the dodge winning at 204

Whose driving that top speed? Give or take a few mph...

I wonder how the 10 spd auto will change the top end?

I'm betting the top end will be insane on the ZL1 even with the A10. The 10 speed will keep it in its power band much better. Not sure on the top speed. We will see.

Top speed will still depend on one of the top few gears out of 10 putting the engine at its absolute peak power and the car needing every bit of it.

Chances are it'd get up there a little quicker than it would with an AT having 8 or fewer gears, though.

Well it's pretty simple; the ZL1 has the Z06 engine but weighs a few hundred pounds more but has the 10 speed auto. So unless the Z06 is routinely beating the Hellcat I don't think anyone should expect the ZL1 will either.

Keep in mind. Hellcat has 750 at the crank. Not 707. 750 vs 640.

Sorry the hellcat has 707hp or within 1% or 2% as per SAE. Not 750hp

It was SAE certified at 707, where is the rest of the hp hiding?
