coupe3w Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) So is this going to be another attempt to take the HP lead over FCA or is Ford going to trounce the Hellcat Redeye? I say they will fall short as usual! Edited November 29, 2018 by coupe3w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailhiker Posted November 29, 2018 Share Posted November 29, 2018 With the Shelby name attached, this should be more track oriented, and I am not talking about the 1/4 mile straight line track. Dodge and Ford are going for different clientele, and I am glad there are still both choices out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with 55/45 weight distribution to boot it's going to be a handful. Maybe they will do an R Model.

coupe3w Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 What is their goal? Oh I know ROI. I got it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The car could have 1200hp and get 30mpg and you'd still find something to bitch about. Edited November 29, 2018 by MY93SHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to build a car like this and you know what the bar is why not beat it? Edited November 29, 2018 by coupe3w Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are going to build a car like this and you know what the bar is why not beat it? That depends on what it takes to "beat it" and whether it's worth the trouble. To do anything more than a supercharged 5.2L would be very expensive for what would amount to nothing more than bragging rights on the internet. And dialing up the boost too high would cause durability issues. Nobody is going to look at a hellcat and gt500 and pick the one that has 10 more peak hp just because it has 10 more hp. The GT500 will probably be easier to drive every day and get better fuel economy than a hellcat. Like I said - different goals. Internet bragging rights and bench racing is stupid.
