I'm trying to talk the wifey into getting rid of the ZL1. I found a new Hellcat close to my price range. I had to explain to her that if I don't do it that the mod list for the Z must go into action. I'm pretty sure I can mod the Z and make more power for less but I'm still having issues getting past it being a Chevy. The electrical issues have already begun...

Suspension that has not helped me at all yet. Of course you would probably prefer I kept the 4x4 look on my car and not lower it lol
Definitely true. I have experienced this in my own personal car vs another 5th gen that had BETTER have been stock because he still lost. What personal races in an S550 vs 5th gen have you had? Oh... wait.....

Your lock out arms probably help to. You have more mods

Sure your springs helped....it got the car down outta the air a little. Probably helped mph a touch

My cousin's '15 2SS 1LE weighted 3850.
For reference, my 6G 1SS A8 was 3670 with alil over half tank.
I've raced both cars in the 6G, judging from about how much i beat both they'd of been a good race. S550 has since done a JLT Intake, headers and borla catback.

In a stock versus stock race, 5.0 will win.... unless driver error... everytime.
S550 handles better than you think. As far as your fix... of course... throw a bunch of mods at anything and it will get faster. But my statement stands.... mod for mod, the 5th gen will not compete with the 5.0.
If i were to have Long tube headers, no cats, PMAS cold air setup, ported intake similar to what Phil has, you honestly think it would be a close race? Sure, his car runs good. As it is with the 1.85 rockers, long tubes, no cats, z28 intake, ported intake, and most likely ported tb, it should be a good race with my tune/catback S550.
