  1. A Cannonball run across the USA a mini cooper would beat a Tesla when it's charging for 60 hrs during the race.

  2.  @devanandshaji6573  First, You said , "ALL these records will be broken by shelby GT500". I SAID, "NOT TOP SPEED". Then I pointed out that it's going to be priced in the range of the ZR-1, 911 Turbos, etc. Another FACT.. is FORD's (CLAIMED) 1/4 mile time was done "by them" on a "Severely Prepped track" and probably on non-stock tires. Dodge Used a Similarly "Prepped track" on a cold Night (with stock tires) to get the Demon's 9.65 ET. Dodge Claims the Redeye does 10.8@131mph and most testers/magazines can only run mid 11's on stock tires... for comparison. No Magazine will get into the 10's with a GT500, They Never run the Claimed prepped track times. Motortrend and other magazines were invited to a "PREPPED DRAGSTRIP" by FORD to run the GT500 and NOT ONE was able to get into the 10's. 11.12 was the FASTEST time ran (motor trend's fastest 11.287@130.19 mph). On Normal street surface testing mid/high 11's is what people are going to run in stock trim. Just look at the Motortrend article/video on the 850hp Shelby supersnake, it ran slower than a Stock 662hp GT500 in 1/4 mile testing. And I actually want to see what the GT500 can do , I don't hate it...(Only the Fangirls that can't except the facts) I do think the $92,495 price for the GT500 w/ a $18,500 carbon fiber track that Motor trend tested is TOO Expensive...especially since that is MSRP and the GT350Rs were being price gouged (being sold for $30k over MSRP)... So to get one you are going to have to spend $130<$150k for one. 2nd disappointment is that it's a FAT PONY, at 4,225 lbs. that is disappointing... compared to this ZL-1 1LE with a Supercharged 6.2L which weighs 3,824lbs with the manual. 3rd I haven't seen it, but Motor trend bashed the interior, saying that it's no different than a $3k GT Premium.

  3. Thank you for finally testing the ACR. I've always loved it and the fact that Dodge is the Craziest American Car Manufacturer:-D They always push the Limits of what is possible, Street-Legal and will Sell it to the public. You now have to get your hands on a Ram TRX.

  4. It's SAD that with the same displacement/setup (SC'D) Chevy is SO LOW on POWER (147hp LESS, COME ON)...Atleast they are Lower on weight , but they have nowhere near the Room or Daily drive-ability. Even the ZR1 is down 42hp, LOL. Need someone that has a Last Gen ACR swap in the REDEYE engine and give it Randy Pobst to Lap at Laguna Seca;-).. bet it would SHIT on the GT2 RS's time.

  5.  @Tywild327  Demon,has 808hp, stock on (91/93 octane) ,pump gas. 840hp with the Demon crate's Race Ecu on 100 Octane , Which Most People can't buy at the pump.

  6. I think they did the drag race and burnouts first and they got carried away.
    2
  7. 21 MPG. hwy.
    2
  8. It's about weight, Challenger is 1,000 lbs more than a Porsche. Also the Porsche has 65% on the rear tires or is AWD. Both of which are cheating. GT2 RS is shit in the 1/4 mile vs. a 911 turbo S.
    2
  9. That wing ISN'T 1776mm wide, It's 1,876mm...because it has the Extreme Aero Package. The "BASE"...LOL, ACR's wing is 1,776mm wide.
    2
  10. That's a tuner car... Not production. Also, Hennessey has Hellcat packages with well over 1,000hp.
    2
  11. ??? You do realize... ALL the F1 cars have it work that way TOO. Stupid is if it is on the steering column and DOESN'T move with the wheel.
    2
  12.  @keepitthoro6768  LMFAO, You DUmb-Fuck, You want them to be where your hands are. If you are driving into a corner at 100+ you don't want to be taking your hands off the wheel reaching for the paddle. You need to do some research so you don't look like an IDIOT.
    2
  13. Have to wait until the get the green light to use a new platform, Rhumor is that it will use the Alfa Romeo Guilia platform and will be about 500lbs lighter.
    2
  14.  @rockandroll4689  GT500 is Alot more $$ than aZL1 or ZL1 1Le. Camaros have always ran circles around Mustangs,handling wise. My 82 v6, shit on '95 Gt mustangs, when it came to handling. Acceleration, My 93 Dakota Shit On Alot Of Foxbody Sn95 Mustangs. Since the 80's, And they Still Do. They Still Have The Worst Visibility of the 3.

  15. The 392 was the ORIGINAL, TOP FUEL engine... IT MADE DRAG RACING!! That is the reference. First in every record since, In Top fuel racing until the 426 HEMI. Earlier 331 Hemis were banned from racing in INDY 500 earlier. ALtered Hemi 426 cars were banned from NHRA and Raced in IHRA for a while. REGARDLESS OF BRANDS....EVERY, TOP FUEL DRAGSTER AND FUNNY CAR ARE MOPAR POWERED , a modded 426 hemi.AND 2,500+ POWER STARTED ON THE GROUND WITH THE 392 HEMI.

  16. Mustang Hood VENTS ARE A JOKE....HIDEOUS... MAKE A NEW HOOD FOR GOD SAKE!
    2
  17.  @_hashtag  Lol, did I say the Zl1 was 3,700lbs... No it's just you a Ford fangirl making shit Up. Gt500 Will Never Run10.7 In Stock Trim. Just Like The last Gt500, Never Ran 200Mph.
    2
  18. ZL1 1LE is NOT more areodynamic... A standard ZL1 is , BUT NOT the 1LE. The wing, canards and other aero modes add drag. They should have used the standard Zl-1 as then both cars would be on Real street tires , and the weight difference makes up for the power difference.
    2
  19. Crazy that the Redeye Lapped that track as quick as a F80 M3 w/ Carbon Cermaic brakes, which weights about 1,000lbs less.
    2
  20. Wish they did a Top speed run... Zl1 1LE (173mph top speed) and GT500 ( 180 top speed) would both be a FEW MILES behind the Redeye (203 mph).
    2
  21. Or if the Redeye had sticky tires like the Others. All Season Vs. 2 (Lighter cars) on track tires.
    2
  22.  @daftdragoon6086  NO... It's NOT modified. FORD is the ONLY AMWERICAN BRAND... that "CLAIMED" A FALSE HP #S.\They Done it MANY TIMES.
    2
  23.  @daftdragoon6086  REDEYE... Runs on POS PS4. PUNK ASS Mustang GT500 are Bitches runnning on road racing tires?.... Just like the ZL1 1-LE.
    2
  24. Ford has multiple Mexico Plants and Borrowed Money from the Government too.
    2
  25. Not with these cars,mustang has no chance on a road course. It's been that way for most of the last 40Yrs.
    2
  26. The automatic ZL-1 is MUCH quicker in the 1/4 mile than the manual. As For the Redeye.... NO ONE makes a Manual for a Front engine rear wheel car that is rated for more than 650 lb-ft of torque....Thats why only the base hellcats can be bought with a manual.
    2
  27. Fastest Big Car I drove on the Job was a E65 B7 Alpina... Can you compare that too this? about the same power/weight,etc. Sadly ALL BMW's Have No Balls as they are ALL Governed. I like the E60 M5 alot Better than the F01, and the E92 M3 didn't have the ride or Fun to drive as the Older E46 M3. E36 M3's are a Joke in my book. E34 M5's was the LAST Great Ride, FAST M5 BMW ever Built. 65 750i rode like SHIT COMPARED to the older E32 750iL which was like Butter at 100mph, same goes for the 7 series. E32 740iL was a limo compare to a subcompact ride in a E65 750i.

  28.  @unknowndesconocido8325  It's not , IF it will leak... But when, and how much the damage will be. Not to mention they break/ Crack overtime. My cousins Z71's sunroof had Cracks on the Frame within 4-5 years.
    2
  29. 5th gear wheel-spin @ full throttle... For $100k+/- IS why you get this car. Can't get this in a EUROPEAN, or JDM model for the price. (FACT)
    2
  30.  @victormontano7148  No, It's still a Mercedes designed built Model.. When Fiat Redesigns it then it's Fiat. A F40 is wasn't a Fiat...even though Fiat Owned Ferrari during the F550/Enzo years.

  31. Really got to have someone try the hi-powered Challengers with a set of sticky tires (trofeo R, Zl-1 1LE goodyears, ACR Kumho's or Michelin cups). 4,521lbs on all seasons are never Ideal no matter how wide a Tire. I'd Love to see how much of a difference they would make. Any extra 700lbs doesn't help either, Redeye weighs the same as a 2013 (last RWD) 750i BMW and is as Big... and how fast are they on a track??? 2013 Alpina only pulls 0.89 Lateral G's, Hellcat Redeye pulls 0.95 G's.
    2
  32. It's always pulled 0.90 G's since it was released, (redeye widebody is at 0.94g) great for a car it's size/weight). That is what most RWD German sport/luxury cars of the same weight pull, never heard anyone bash them on handling? No one buying a Challenger buys it to go Road racing. It is the Best Grand Tourer of the 3.
    2
  33. Only issue is the Tach?? A "SMALL V8 and the redline is ONLY 6,000 rpm, but the Tach goes to 8k..WTF? This should Rev/Make Peak power at 7k. ANY Small L/Cyl. DOHC that DOESN'T make peak power above 6,500 is a Waste. Also GM engine covers Look DUmb, as if the engine was dropped on it's Top....Same with the LT4. Other than those this it's a Nice car.
    2
  34. 1st mods... Fitting, the ACR's 355s on ALL Corners Sell the hood to a Hellcat owner and make a CF 4" Cowl Induction Hood. Swap To A Smaller Blower Pulley.... Last Would Be (for awhile), A 10<15 % Larger Cam With A/Rev Kit To Shift Just Above 7,000. Then Comes The $$$ to Lose 500<900 lbs.
    2
  35. Mustangs Only out sell the rest because the Mustang is the #1 sportscar bought by women, FACT. It definitely doesn't outsell because of performance... Or price nowadays. It might be the sound, Mustangs have usually been the nosiest of the 3 ponycars.... or it's just Brand loyalty.
    2
  36.  @williamjordan5554  Not when you don't have the performance to back it up... Like it has been for the Mustang for most of the last 20 yrs. Also... there is Loud and Too Loud and the Mustang has always been more of the latter, when compared to the camaro or challenger. Too loud is more of a Teen/adolescent thing (IE, Hondas with Coffee can exhaust that backfire on shifts). Challenger is more for the older crowd that remembers the originals and would rather have a softer ride quieter exhaust, more of a Sleeper. I do admit the Hellcats/Redeyes are on the loud side to be a sleeper, LOL.
    2
  37. Is Ford ripping everyone OFF.... Or can you get the rear seat back for $1 , like with Dodge??? Fyi, Gt500 Without TheCF Pack Barely Weighs Less ... Even Being So Much Smaller.
    2
  38. Actually it's Faster than Most DCT cars that have been out. Faster than any BMW M car, Faster than the Nissan GTR, Most Lambo's, or the #s I've seen on Porsche's PDK. When Released the 10spd in the Zl-1 is 25<36% quicker than a PDK..depending on what shift (1<2, 3,4,etc). Only 3 or 4 cars out of 30 with DCT/paddle shift transmissions are quicker.
    2
  39.  @S.C0501  Not weird...Unless you consider A Straight Male as Weird?
    2
  40. It's Not a 1 trick pony... Only car hear that can fit 4/5 adults, Fastest top speed Best Ride quality Arguably the Best (Daily driver) car here. Zl1 1LE is the only 1 Trick Pony here.
    2
  41. That's Only of the line with stock tires...OR if you are a bad driver at speed. DCT and AWD is really just a band-aid for Bad drivers. AWD lowers MPG and is worse for anything resembling a sports car/coupe when it comes to fun. Hell, IDIOTS are pulling on Hand-brakes to drift... when it only takes your right foot in these cars.
    2
  42. Yeah and the fronts are 295mm. Funny thing is that the tires are reasonably priced compared to Michelins or trofeo Rs tires in the mid 300mms.
    2
  43.  @--Legacy--  Doesn't take Long to find info. on the web.. Plus I'm a Car Enthusiast/Retired automotive technician/ BMW Master Tech. So much BS/Fake INFO. On youtube comments... I like to keep it Real, Correct the bad Info. Just like when they said the last Gt500 does 200 mph..it doesn't.
    2
  44. You mean Viper ACR? Regular Viper would go against the Z06 and Maybe the Gt500.
    2
  45.  @tazkidwell  I hope it's still a V10...But Destroked and Twin turboed so it can Rev Higher but still be a Viper engine (OHV,V10). Mopar did offer a Race Viper 8L V10, Rev'ed to 7K with different valvetrain/cam. 800hp/695TQ. https://www.motor1.com/news/28516/mopar-84-liter-v10-crate-engine-with-800-hp-introduced/

  46. I need them to test an ULTIMA GTR... They are street legal in the USA.
    2
  47.  @johnjones1997bih  True, Chevy's Retro Look never really captured the look / beauty of the 1st gen. I will say , They are moving in the Right direction weight / Handling wise. Ford is going the Wrong way when it comes to weight And Price. I will say Atleast They started making Power , Compared late 90s - Release of the Coyote. As for the Challenger , Dodge /SRT has Their hands tied , on what they can Do ... That is , Until they get A New Smaller / Lighter Platform From FCA.
    2
  48. They need a Hybrid Demon...(not electric). So you can have the V8 sound , supercharger whine and have the electric motors power the front wheels for better of the line performance/ mpg.
    2
  49. The Viper ran the same time... BUT On Street tires.
    2
  50. You mean Camaro (SS) 1LE? Yes... Most people are thinking that time was for a ZL1 1LE, LOL. I had one Ford fanboy saying a GT350 is cheaper than the 1LE on the track lap times...LOL.
