The Viper has a 3.55 rear vs the Challengers 3.92 and the Challengers gear ratios are lower.
2.97 vs 2.26 1st
2.10 vs 1.58 2nd
1.46 vs 1.19 3rd.

The Hellcats has a 3.70 rear.
Here is the auto gear ratio (final 2.62)...
Auto:
1st....4.71
2nd....3.14
3rd....2.10
4th....1.67
I'm still skeptical of this recent rumor.
