I wouldnt mind meeting up with a stock HC and testing it out against the 14' Shelby.

Not many videos of stock vs stock comparisons.

I've heard from several owners that the HC's run hard up top and this proves it but once you get that thing rolling I guess 707hp has to come in at some point. Looks like both Ford and Chevrolet will benefit from that A10. All three run awesome, I'd take any of the three and be completely happy!!!

Lol Told ya'll its a rocket up top. I see lots of Challengers in these vids, but rarely chargers. Wonder how much faster the Charger really is.

Hoping my 3.09s help with that low end.

Zyborg, would love to race you if you're ever in my neck of the woods. Hoping I have the 3.09s before the end of summer though.

So, the ZL1 wins from a dig. To me, that's a real race. I'm sure some would disagree.

I agree if we're talking a drag race (obviously). Most of that is due to the much wider/stickier factory rubber on the ZL1. Throw a drag radial on both and it'll be a different story from a dig.

Im starting to think the little blowers on the LT4 start to run out of steam up top.

I think chevy will do away with the 1.7 charger for the vette. Read it will now be a Eaton 2.6?

Was that stock tires on the HC? Look like a taller tire. Also noticed the HC had a passenger in the seat, did the GM's too?

youtube comment Hellcat has semi slicks. zl1 gearing is very good for dig runs. The hellcat also had a passenger while the ZL1 did not. On the other hand, the zl1 is still brand new maybe it needs to be broken in.

How about a stock Charger HC with just Nitto DRs? This car is strong from
a roll. I have a friend with a stock '13 but needs driver mod to hang with the A8.
