When you compare vehicles with similar horsepower, the factors go to weight and gearing. Currently the Mustang is the fastest, being the lightest with good power (GT500 having the second most now), while the ZL1 lags behind due to higher weight and the Corvette's existence causing GM to skimp on it's power. The Hellcat may bring SOMETHING to the table, as it has 707 and the 8 speed auto, but it will probably weigh 4300ish pounds. Give the ZL1 or the GT500 700hp and they will easily compete/win. The Dodge guys are even saying the Hellcat will beat the Z06... they're insane.

My guess is the Hellcat will perform about GT500 range.

Of course, with the "red fob black fob" thing that Dodge is doing, how many people are actually going to use all 707hp compared to how many will use the 500hp setting...
