I would bet the Dodge would lose every challenge.

The new Z/28 would beat the Challenger in everything but the Dragstrip. I would like to see Mark run Hellfire against the Z/28 like he did with the ZL1 vs. Red Devil. It's really cool that Dodge is building it though. I'm glad to see the horsepower war is alive and well, better than it ever was back in the day.

Mark's new car is cooler than any of them though...

What Casey said!


I wasn't really bashing Mopar for building what is a pretty cool power plant.... I just wish they would buy into some engineering and give us a car that can actually USE that amazing level of power for something other than roasting tires in a straight line.

This is where - to me - GM is so far ahead of the curve... with the AMAZING Corvette platform - and what they're doing with the Camaro line up.

Ford is trying... and showed us the goods with the Laguna... They just haven't taken the next step which would be some serious power AND handling capability. They have the power part down. A little less plastic -- and a little more weight balancing... Funny -- the exact same things they missed out on back in the day.

Not saying people can't MAKE these cars handle -- but it would be nice to see the factory (ala the Z/28 etc) put some effort in a showroom version.

if 15 was a 2015 then i'd like to see it happen. But its a 69 thus making it superior in everyway....except for 35 mph impact requirments.

I would tend to agree, but it would still be a worthwhile track test. There is actually a whole list of cars I would like to see compared.

I agree it would be fun to test. Heck, I would pay to watch. As stated before, I would like to see it go against the new z/28, especially since Mark was involved in the engineering/track testing.

Really more of a ZL1 and GT500 competitor than a Z28 one.
