I think that manual vs manual, stock vs stock, the Hellcat may take the GT500. Sure it weighs more, but its got lower rear gearing 3.70 vs 3.31 and an IRS in the rear, so if it can put the power down then its going to be quick. I'm waiting to see the real world results.
The important thing to remember is these cars help us all. While I can't confirm, but I think the ZL1 pushed the GT500 to go to 662, and that pushed Dodge to go to 707. So it a win for everyone. Without competition we may not even have the ZL1. I love the power wars. To make a 707HP engine with a factory warranty is something to be proud about, as few manufacturers can lay claim to that.
