If you like 1/4 as you say you do, you should know this simple fact that the P Zero Trofeo R tires ARE NOT a drag strip tire, they are a road course tire. Try launching 420 lb-ft on a 30 series tire. either your spinning the first 60ft or riding the clutch. I don't care how wide your rubber is if you have a low profile sidewall (35 series and below) good luck getting traction off the line.

You better believe when owners get their hands on them there will be 11sec bone stock passes from a 485hp 4200lb car with 255 crap street tires. Something the more powerful, lighter z28
So to answer your ques.
Compare Manual vs. Manual than see what the times are. BTW, what is Dodge saying for the Manual 392 times?

Do you have any proof to that? GM and Ford made it very clear what car they were targeting when they release the ZL1, Boss 302, GT500, 1LE, Z/28 etc. From the videos of the hellcat there is no mention of competitor/benchmark cars...hmm...suspicious.
