Dodge didn't build this to set lap times, it built the car to be the King of the Streets/Strip.
Without an automatic transmission (it appears) the Hellcat's power is uncontrollable. So, with a manual trans, its not a given that the Hellcat can beat anything. Kind of sucks for guys that like to row the gears

Add to that, keeping a car between the yellow lines is pretty important on the street too.

Great engine, great sound, I'm sure it would be a hoot to drive
