Indeed. Well, SLP kind of slipped this one by. And Corvette did have the 405hp ZR-1 in 1994 so the fact that the Firehawk handidly beat the LT1 Corvette was sort of ......okay

Challenger is way too heavy at 4000+ lbs as compared to 3400lbs for the little bird. I guess that's what you get when you try to build a musclecar on the same platform as a Chrysler 300.

The platform is really based of a e class mercedes. Sedan. It's been that way since the challenger, charger and 300c came out. They still are to this day. mopar is really german engineering as far as the chassis.

LOL I have no problem roasting those over weight pigs in my 93 Firehawk. I Beat a SRT 8 426 hp 2010 Challenger by 3 lengths from a roll on and a 375 hp RT Challenger by 5 lengths. If it would have been from a dead stop it would have been real ugly. Raced a 392 (475hp) Challenger from a dead stop and had him by a length to 70, then we ran into traffic. Those are much quicker and really pretty cars. I may have been able to hold him for 1320 ft. Dont really know.

I believe him. The LT1 had a lot of Torque and a few simple mods they poured out crazy power numbers. I own and modded both 97 and 99 Camaro's and those LT1/LS1 are no fuckin joke. I have won many races even when they were stock. They are very light and the power band is from 1400rpms to redline perfect power. You want to know why they still keep up with modern muscle? Take a look at the dyno graphs and see are the power just builds.

Power to weight ratio. LT1's have a lot of torque and can jump lots of faster cars. I know that my 98 Z28 LS1 with full bolt on's gave a supercharged SRT8 challenger a serious run for his money up until I got locked out of my 3rd gear shift.

I don't know about roast Maybe if the firehawks driver is a shitty but with a proper driver that can launch the car properly it should have a slight edge on my 2015 Charger RT. 06 RT would get walked because the 2015 RT is the fastest RT so far with many magazines hitting 0-60 runs in the low 5s on stock shitty tires. I tend to spin my tires a lot on the launch and it takes a while to finally get traction.
