750 HP Hellcat Killing SVT Cobra?

I think your thread heading is a bit misleading. It should say, "750 HP SVT mustang killing the Hellcat"
Fingers crossed! Haha.
I don't think I believe it.
If it is, they can take my money now...except I doubt it will be over $70k...thats a HUGE markup since the 13/14

It would be nice...but, due to the miserable editing and shoddy journalism, I' m going to say this article holds no merit.
That Mustang in the picture looks badass. Here's to hoping that is an actual shot of a production model...
This.
I think it goes without saying that the publicity the Hellcat has been generating has definitely perked Ford and Chevy's ears. Obviously, at this point it is merely speculation, but I highly doubt other manufacturers (specifically the two I just mentioned) are going to just stand idly by while Dodge pats itself on the back in the numbers game.
I'm not exactly sure what to expect, but the rivalry is there, the technology is there, and I'm sure the demand is there and so it would make sense for Ford to answer that call with a similarly priced opponent - and I think we'll see something in the pipeline that odes to the concept of demolishing the competition like the Terminator was. And for Ford fans looking in that price range for a "flagship" muscle car, it makes sense.
Now, with Chevy's Corvette already playing in that price range, its not definite how they will respond. The objective is obviously to get an opposing Camaro to line up against the Hellcag, but then if that starts dancing on Corvette territory it could cause problems. I mean, the Camaro and Corvette have different objectives and appeal to different buyers (mostly) but I still think it starts to deliver mixed messages about pricing and performance if Chevy doesn't balance their performance lineup in a way that responds to the the Hellcat without diminishing their Corvette branding.

^ love that
11.20's at 120+ is what they are claiming on factory street tires and a 10.80 on drag radials. Dodge might have got it made with those claims and the NHRA backing.
750hp SVT Cobra would be a monster. Im guessing they would replace the TVS and go with a twin screw? How else would they get than much more out of the 662hp from before without major tweaks to the blower cooling system?

750 + hp and weighing 3500 lbs? I think that's a bit of a stretch that I'm not convinced Ford will take... But I was surprised when they bumped the Shelby up from 550 to 662
I don't see the car being 3500lbs but that would be sick...
Theres no point to a 750hp front engine rear wheel drive car no matter how "cool" it sounds. :bash: The GT500, Hellcat and ZL1 are way underperforming for the power numbers they put out. They are 4,000lb pigs with the weight distribution of a truck, stone age tech suspension and pizza cutter rear tires. All so neanderthal fan boys can beat their chest of the internet forums. 
If that really happens I'd have to say that will probably be the peak of the HP wars...
