BTW, which car over all do you like better, the Hellcat or ZL1? Also I have a destruction of a fast Camaro story too. And I was an idiot! I let a Mustang driver run my TT 1LE at Millville NJ. Mustang drivers can't handle fast cars! Life is for learning.

Your question is a complex one. I was asking this very same question all over the internet when I was researching the 1LE. The Hellcat and ZL1 can’t be compared. They are two different cars, built to perform in TOTALLY different ways. I’m going to do my best to explain it for those that own one of them and are considering the other one. HELLCAT will not put the grin on your face and make you say WOW when you’re carving up corners in a windy back country road or a road course. My girlfriend and I literally kept giggling and saying WOW the entire time we were driving the Zl1 in the back roads of upstate NY. The crisp, sharp and responsive handling the ZL1 1LE has is not found in the Hellcat. The Hellcat makes you laugh and say WOW EVERYTINE you merge onto a highway, EVERYTIME you downshift 2 gears and punch it (at any speed), EVERYTIME you are on the boulevard and you are in first or second gear and you stab the gas I guarantee you’ll giggle. It’s truly a freak of nature that defies physics and wants to kill you......all at the same time, while making you laugh. The Hellcat’s supercharger wine is amazing to listen to, I know it’s just “noise” but to car guys that supercharger wine means something hahaha. A 4400 pound car is not supposed to do the things the Hellcat does, it’s amazing. The 1LE doesn’t make you go WOW when you punch the gas because of that stupid lazy gas pedal and the way it’s tuned. But it’s not built for that and luckily we can modify it to get red of most of the lag. I still had a ton of fun driving it. The handling, the stiffness (yes, I actually like the stiffness) of the chassis and the the steering are all a plus in my book. The exhaust note on the 1LE is awesome when the valves open (especially when cruising on the highway at 60 mph). I like that the 1LE is smaller, sits low and it looks like what it’s built for......... the track . The interior of the 1LE is well done and doesn’t feel generic like the Hellcat does. To sumize........ the Hellcat is the sledge hammer, the 1LE is the samurai sword ! The Hellcat is the wild bull that wants to throw you off and step on your head, the 1LE is the stallion that comes around the corner with stunning ease while defying the laws of physics in its own way. Two different machines. By the way, if it wasn’t the 1LE, I wouldn’t get a zl1 if you already have a Hellcat. The Hellcat will give you enough cornering ability to keep you pleased.

I drove my 1LE from home Atlanta to Tampa in the pouring rain. 700 miles. White knuckle the whole way.
You have to respect the car and learn to work your feet. Photo is me, stopping for gas, right inside the FL line.

It's not "For Sale" at all. I just have my eyes on two other models. So, I wouldn't have an issue parting with it.
