This is a great representation of the kind of times/speed real drivers will get from a Hellcat.

We test the 2015 Dodge Challenger Hellcat from 0-60 MPH over & over again - YouTube

2:30.

and

6:43, the on-board computer is .2 generous

FWIW, after I've dogged on this thing...I think the Charger looks the biz.

No thanks, i'll wait for the 2016 Shelby GT350 Mustang, 500+ normally aspirated HP and a 8500-9000 rpm redline, and about 600 lbs lighter than a hellcat. Probably won't beat a hellcat in a straight race, but I don't like the sound of a supercharger, or the rattling of Chrysler products.

Won't happen.

Sorry for the bias but this is another glorified tire-fryer (as denoted by the photo) to appeal to the wealthy light beer drinkers of America.

Or this guy, 5.4L LS3 miata with a turbo, boost, according to the owner (says he daily drives it) is "more than 9psi and less than 25", and it's running 225 section width street tires.

My 2015 SRT is rattle free. I'm actually really impressed with the fit and finish of the vehicle. A really good friend has a 2013 GT500. Although its faster then my SRT, we both agree that the fit and finish, ride and features are much better on my SRT. Of course the new GT350 will be built on the new platform, so that in itself should be a big improvement.
