legit like 2 weeks after the Z06's official numbers were announced, dodge goes and ups the ante.
I'm a chevy guy to the bone but I love what dodge is doing here. Granted I know the car wont handle as well as it should (putting all that power through those skinny rear tires??) but this is damn impressive, it will really ignite the american car horsepower wars!
I want to see how Ford and Chevy will fire back next year!

Haters are out in full force.
Dodge has already boldly claimed it to be the FASTEST muscle car in history. Period. Dont take that lightly. They benchmarked this car against the ZL1 and GT500.
Its faster. The 6spd went 10.90's on a drag radial and the auto is faster.

At the end listen to the way this thing shifts. Sounds pretty damn quick. If this thing can get close to dct shift speeds watch out.

I agree the SRT8 cars are strong... but mid 12s stock? We talking the 6.1? Because I haven't even seen the 6.4s do that yet. LOL I watched a modded SRT8 cut high 13s, 14s all day. I wish I could blame it on the driver, but its an automatic. Considering the heat, he shoulda been mid-low 13... but not mid 12s.
my point is, the hellcat on a tire in auto form? low 11 second car all day long. little doubt in my mind and i can't wait to see it run.. i have a feeling now that good ol' eddie sold that challenger he will jump on this one lol
I just can't believe the HP you can buy off the showroom floor these days. Just 15 years ago, 700 HP was a highly specialized setup with little reliability and few and far between on builds. Now you can buy a Challenger with 700+, a Vette with 650, Viper with 640, and the outgoing Shelby with 660.
If you would have told anyone 15 years ago, that this would be the new "norm" for horsepower, they would have spit their beer in your face laughing.
Good times to be a gear head indeed - wonder how long it will last?

Car should run good. But I wish the manufacturers would get back to less feature laiden cars to get cost down, think z28 but cheap. I'm just not interested in paying $50,000+ for anything that has wheels. This thing will probably near 70k.

I admire Dodge for playing the 1-up game and pushing the HP wars, but the Challenger is the king of all pigs.
They specifically say fastest "Muscle Car", so I'm sure they are not comparing it to the Vipers, ZR1s, and GT500s. Probably just SRT Chargers, Camaro SS's, and Mustang GTs.
A C6Z will still hang with this thing. Yes it has 200hp less...but weighs over ONE THOUSAND POUNDS less (conservative estimate, could be as much as 1,500!). I think you guys will be surprised at how many cars will perform similar in a straight line, while handling a million times better then this land yacht.
