According to a source over on SVT, the Hellcat should outrun the GT500 in all aspects of straight line racing. Yes the car will weigh more than a GT500 but, I believe it will be faster to run the claimed times that were given. Of course they were not official and God knows what the conditions of the runs were. I believe that despite the weight, that most of the performance will come from their new 8speed auto.

I overlooked that! And that 8 speed auto is one hell of a transmission too!
Looks like the crown may go to Dodge for now.
Looking forward to the response from Ford and Chevy!

Yup, power and torque have their place but, with technical advances in other areas like tires, transmission etc, it really isn't just a numbers game anymore.
I believe Chrysler is going for the win and will get it with this car.
