On a road course I would be shocked if the Hellcat comes in anything other than third place.

An 8-speed auto is nice and all. Dodge fans have been waiting for this for how many years? Always excuses. Wait until this, wait until that. Must get tiring all that waiting.
The only problem is the 500 was never marketed to be a roll racing machine, it was produced to rule the drag strip. Which has been the Mustang's focus for as long as I can remember. The Hellcat will more than likely in most head to head encounters now take that title.
