THAT'S why, on 275 OE tires, you can fully expect a Hellcat to run similar times to the now-obsolete GT500, when the Hellcat, too, has a Stick.
And the tests are proving that fact...
HIGHEST HORSEPOWER!! Yes, and the HIGHEST WEIGHT, too...which CAN be compensated for, AUTOMATICALLY.
It's the BOSS 302 scenario, all over again. WHICH ONE? There are/were TWO, and a Stick Hellcat doesn't wanna be too boastful (unless it's been BOOST-FULL!) around the GT500.
