Yeah good catch, that was an in-car performance timing, who knows how accurate that is. However, they did change the distance measurement sensor from the rear tires to the front, to minimize error from wheel spin, but still how accurate is it?

What's an acceleration run?

Yeah, a lot of these review articles have some facts completely backwards, one was listing the Hellcat with only a manual transmission. Another listed the V6 engine with the HC. Their incompetency reflects at the track. "Journalism" right there.
