In the Viper, I don't have any worries about the Hellcats, they trap a good 2 mph slower than the Viper does. At the dragstrip, the automatic Hellcats should be good, as long as the owners get rid of those puny 285? wide street tires. Those cars will be traction challenged, no doubt.
Heavy cars can run fast. Look at the CTS-V, for example. Hellcat will have at least 120-150 rwhp more than a CTS-V. Kind of scary, haha.

Hellcats are running 275's, but will launch ok with the A8.
Trap speeds for them seem lower than expected, a while back I had talked to someone close to SRT and they said the Hellcat Challenger was faster 60-140 than the Viper. I really think there is alot left in the Hellcat, SRT even said they tested at 825hp at one point. If tuners ever crack the PCM..
