The Hellcat leaves the line with all the subtlety of a punch to the gut. After our acceleration run, the in-car performance meter gave us an estimated quarter-mile time of 11.4 seconds."
Uh, that's NOT a valid Chrondek-timed result...that's the
car sayin' what it ran.
In the first non-Lieberman
Motor Trend test, the car ran 12.0s...with the in-car performance meter AND using launch control: "
After our run, the app revealed a 0-60 mph time of 4.1 seconds and a quarter-mile time of 12 seconds at 117 mph."

14. Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat: 11.7 seconds @125.4 mph...but it
IS Number 8 in trap speed...
15: Audi S8: 11.8 seconds @118.3 mph
Honorable mentions: The Shelby GT500 is not included on this list, due to the fact that it is no longer in production. However, if we’re counting, it did the quarter mile in 11.6 seconds at a trap speed of 125.7 mph. The McLaren 12C was recently replaced by the new 650S, which we have yet to test. The last 12C we tested, however, did the deed in 10.8 seconds at 130.7 mph. The CLS63 S AMG and E63 S AMG wagon tied the Hellcat with 11.7-second quarter-mile times.
