Do you think that GM will build a 700+ horsepower Corvette to beat the Hellcat in the horsepower war?

 

[AwesomeBobX64]

No because the a 650HP Z06 will still beat it on power to weight.

 

[rghoskins]

That won't be necessary. The cars don't compete anyway but the 650 hp Vette is going to beat the living hell out of the Hellcat. Don't let your eyes get too big for your stomach.

 

[AwesomeBobX64]

That's pretty much the whole discussion.

 

[ncmountaineer]

Well, I don't think this is the end of the discussion. As this story, shared on Facebook nearly 1400 times argues that "Thanks to the Hellcat Hemi Challenger, GM Needs a C7 Corvette ZR1"

Yeah, that's just a bunch of bullshit to increase engagement. There is nothing new to talk about. They're in two different classes and a new Corvette is unnecessary.

It's obvious you're just looking to start a threat that snowballs into a larger one, but there really isn't anything to discuss.

 

[DARRENSTOYS]

Never liked a Corvette and never will no matter how much power it has.

this, the corvette (at least the Z06/ZR1 versions)would be more compared to the Viper, the Challenger would be compared to the Mustang/Camaro

 

[DBDLIVES]

If GM really wanted to, they could easily turn up the wick on the LT4 they have now and make over 700. They just don't need to. 650hp 650tq is plenty for the Z06 right now.

Don't forget that 707 hp has to move 4400 lbs.

as someone who was t-boned in a Challenger a few years ago, I would much rather have gotten hit that hard in a Challenger than in a Vette

the car took the hit and we all walked away, although in a foggy state

Glad you walked away, but what does this have to do with anything? If you really care about safety you'd be in a Volvo.

A Corvette can take a pretty good shot, they are more substantial than you think.

 

[Bad daytona]

They could dump them in that hole at the museum.

Don't worry about that, we have folks reminding us of that every couple hours here on ChallengerTalk.com

 

[stamatz]

Here's what I know, it was a CHALLENGER not a Charger...lol. Guess I know more than that reporter...lol

That's because every couple hours someone pops up on here needing to be reminded, such as the OP.:headbang2:

 

[jsd512]

Probably not. The Z06 will gorilla rape the Hellcat in every performance category, period. The Z06 will sodomize the Viper TA. But, if the Viper guys pull their heads out of their asses and build a car that gets universal respect and becomes feared, then yes, we will see the return of the ZR-1 with well over 700HP.
