LOL, he has no clue. Doubt he's ever owned a Corvette let alone driven one. Posted some stupid video of a supercharged Camaro having a 'dig' against a N/A C8. Then he talks as if the ZO6 is going to be a 'dog'.
I suspect he's a disgruntled millennial ! As for the Camaro SS 1LE, a great car at and well above it's price point. My youngest son had one for a few years, don't know that there was anything under 50k to compete against it. Sold it back in '19 and bought a C7 GS........

Lol. Nice try. Sorry to burst your bubble, but most people's definition of "racing" is not associated with turns.
Now do take the time to better understand what you don't. https://www.motortrend.com/news/look-inside-dodge-demons-840hp-hemi/ The LS that's in the Corvette and Camaro is just as weekend warrior friendly as the Mopar motors. Hell some of the fastest street trucks are big Turbo LS based. I'll put money on it that the Z06 motor won't be able to handle boost similarly how the 6.4l SRT motor can't aswell. |

As in, the C8 Z06 engine really IS being used as a racing engine in a legitimate racing series. Since you said the demon was a racing motor, I thought it was because it was being proven in a race series...you know, the thing that makes it a racing motor?

Nope driven 2 different actually. A friend's yellow ZR1 and my main roofers C8. Got to give the C8 credit for being more tall guy friendly. They're as I said alright and as I have stated repeatedly the C8 is fantastic marketing that Chevy needed. As a side note, had the joys of driving an LMR built 2019 ZLI that on its smallest tune was making 900whp(1300hp at it's peak) and it was funny as hell to drive since it suffered the same struggle to hook most of the Mopars have. Not a fan of the Ford/GM love child A10 though. I just don't understand why so many fan bois aren't understanding the GM published figures of 10.6 in the 1/4 are while nice and all, are easily achieved aswell by a freaking X3M on an E30 tune... and maybe a couple other bolt on.lol |

That's why you don't understand. It's like you are totally incapable of understanding why someone would buy a miata, or a cayman, or a C8. People can buy a lot of other cars for the cost of a demon. What you really need to be asking yourself is, why do they? If you can figure it out, you will have answered your own question.

RM7, we are all wasting our time with 'bmwmopar' guy. For whatever reason he is completely hung up on Hp / straight-line acceleration and while I get it I also understand that there are a lot of us out there that appreciate and desire the ability to turn left and right as well.
For crying out loud, he's already making mock of the flat plane crank motor in the soon to be released ZO6 as not being able to handle boost !!! Who gives a shit !!!! that IS NOT what that car is about

Lol. I'll totally disagree. From the front they can look "Americana" perse for the muscle car aspect. Other than that all Challengers and Chargers just look like the rest.
I actually prefer the narrow bodies and had a Hellcat Charger I topped out at 204mph before. The wide bodies are slower. |

That's just crazy talk. That's like saying many people take their C8s to the (course) track, like the ones I competed against.

You're in the minority with how you toy your car and that's awesome for you. I'm just trying to help you from a sales perspective why the C8 is successful. |

well as an owner of an 'original' Challenger back in the day (were you even born yet ?) they didn't all look the same ! Lets see how good a Mopar guy you really are....... where did the inspiration for the design of the original T/A hood scoop come from ?

But stay with "most people's definition of 'racing' is not associated with turns" if that what suits you. The rest of us will enjoy exploring lateral g forces. LOL
