For those who may want to know more info on the engine here you go. I cant wait to run across one when I get my new Z06, Hell I hope to run across one with my V.

cool engine cut-away:cool:
SC screw is mesmerizing.

If that rumor turns out to be fact that's one freaking fast heavy muscle car heck it would be one fast car period!

707 hp 650 torque Dodge Reigns supreme
 

A revolution in engine technology for all car heads to say " good job" now its GMs turn to up the ante. How is it that a corvette guy has his head up his ass most of the time thinking a vette is the only sports car in town? Take it down a notch and recognize another achievement in RD for us the gear heads. More technology equals more hp for all of us. I am a vette owner but also own 4 other brands and models. My daughter has a 392 challenger and all in the family love all cars. My next cars probably will be a new Z and maybe a hellcat. Yes, both at the same time. Of course I need to get rid of a few others but its time in my life I own a part of history. GM and Dodge. I don't think Ford will sit on their hands either. Another 5.8 monster with new cam and heads, headers and new exhaust gets it over 700 hp so don't count them out. GM just may slip the LT4 in the next gen ZL2 and if they do....maybe one more for my garage. Only kidding....but dreams could come true.

Awesome vid thanks for sharing this...:thumbs:...looks pretty easy to swap to a smaller SC'r pulley on that thing just like the GT500.

ever hear of a car called Viper?

Well said and I agree Kudos to Dodge Ford and Chev for upping the anti in this HP war I love it what a time to be a car guy...:woohoo::cheers:

It still doesn't answer my question.. :thumbs:

One thing to keep in mind. He says the fastest muscle car in history. Not the fastest sports car in history.

They are being smart and basically only comparing it to other muscle cars.

Yea..... Cause so many people race their cars at the ring, and there are so many people hitting curves on public street roads at 100mph:leaving:

It's a muscle car, and if the 10 second stock 1/4 is true, people who aren't at the top of their game in a new Z, viper(which will get more HP than the hellcat) will get embarrassed.

Seriously can't wait to humiliate one of these if I ever run into one (never seems like you get to match up with the cars you'd like to out there). The look on their/your face is priceless - I've had it myself after getting smoked by a Z06 (while I had the blower, he just had a built engine).

I don't think he'd believe me if I told him it was stock from the cam profile we're using. :lol:

Man, I hope so. With the sales figures being absurdly low, they need to put life back into the line.

I love the Viper, absolutely love it. I was stunned to see such poor sales figures, but perhaps a blown powerplant with ~750hp will rejuvenate their market. :thumbs:

Hellcat?????
 

I agree the Hellcat sucks. The Vette is the coolest and best looking car available at a reasonable price. Dodge is totally outclassed. Don't waste our time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

While I like seeing Dodge up the ante, at ~4333 pounds(SRT8 manual has a curb weight of 4253 lbs and I'm guessing ~80 lbs for the blower) divided by 707 HP, that's 6.13 lbs/HP.

My old obsolete C6 Z06 with 505 HP and 3175 lbs = 5.78 lbs/HP.

C7 Z06 at ~3500 lbs divided by 650 HP = 5.38lbs/HP.

I love to see HP wars 2.0. A rising tide lifts all ships.

But, as several people here have pointed out, real "car guys" understand power-to-weight ratios. A 4300lbs+ car would need 850-900BHP to keep up with a C7Z. Assuming it could even put that much power down. There are eventually HP limits to RWD cars on DOT tires.

Besides, a muscle car shouldn't even be discussed on a sports car site, unless it is in the other(fatass) car section. https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.cor...1694faddfc.gif

The Hellcat weighs 4449#.
S.

Why, nothing wrong with muscle cars and for some they are more practical than a Vette. But why not look at the Z28, that is some strong claims by Dodge/SRT. The Z28 is lighter and I bet is will get around a road course much faster than a challenger even with the Hellcat. If you take a new Z28 and then supercharge it like the Hellcat you are well over 707 on the LS7 engine.

Doesn't the Challenger (E Series Benz) weigh like 4,000 pounds?

1,000lbs more is the equivalent loss of 100+HP.

Plus the Hellcat has Zero handling.

So add 100HP to the Z and we have 750HP+ :thumbs:

I wonder who will win the race? :toetap:

Still not sure why everyone is automatically assuming that there will even be a C7 ZR1? :confused2:
Yes, there may be. Or there may not be. :)
