Your old lady bit your other one off.

You are down to 0 nuts!

As they sit, I bet fatcat would take the win similar mods. It'll likely take the zl1 a blower swap to compete

Looks like win goes to whomever got the hit (however small it may be)....

Demon >>>>>> ZL1 autofagit = HC autofagit > ZL1 manuel= HC manuel = 13/14 500 in straighline

ZL1 1LE > ZL1 >>>>>> 13/14 500 >> HC handling

Ford has to get back in the big HP pony car category.

I think ford should follow chevy's suit and come out with a 700+/- HP car that ALSO handles like an exotic. 10 sec 1/4 capable and nipping at the heels of the new ACR around a track.

Perfect balance.

They've already got the GT350(R) for track duty. I think they should go the dodge route and cater more towards the drag racing crowd.

350R is lacking a ton of power to compete in the highway. Not to mention its very limited numbers and ridiculous mark ups.

Nothing wrong with the route Dodge has taken but I rather have a great all arounder than a "1 trick pony."

Id take a ZL1 1LE over a Demon.

I can not honestly say I would take a ZL1 over a demon. I just do not know which one I would rather have. Demon has not enough info yet

I'd take a demon. I wouldn't buy a ZL1 unless I had kids, I'd just get a C7Z.

You may have just described the demon.

I'm not sure if the demon has a direct competitor.

I guess we find out today with its release.

I agree islander. The Demon will be quite the hot commodity. Future customers, prepare for **** stretching by the dealers.

If you're a drag racer demon....if you like car with seats and carpet zl1 1le. If you like doin anything other than goin straight then zl1 1le. Although I'm sure the demon will drive fine.

In reality what it comes down to after dealer mark up and all it won't be a car for regular guys. Be a great car for guys that have $ and don't know **** tho.

Essentially yes, perfect car for guys well off that just want to buy their way into relevance in the car scene.

Cant say it is much different than going to a shop and dropping cash for them to build you a fast ride.

Cant hate on people for having moneis tho.

It is pretty cool that OEMs are pumping out that type of product.

I think Dodge deserves props for doing something wild like this. Mutliple tune/pcm etc

Dodge quality seems to lag behind the other two though. Fatcats had adm for a long time too.

I would take a Demon and IDGAF what ppl say... It is what it is. A factory bad *** muscle car. I wonder what kinds of bolt ons will become available... Depending on how my current ZL1 holds up to whether I'll ever buy another Chevy... This one has some issues i.e. the radio display has a mind of its own, it likes to randomly tell me I have 4 flats, service the TPMS system...

Not bant. Too fast for 2008 and newer rule.

Stick to 10.00 and you got no issues at an nhra track.
