First off let me just say this to those of you who own or have a mustang in your driveway / garage
Now on to the fun parts
Got a kick out of bashing all the Chrysler haters especially after Car & Driver called them out over the 707 HP Hellcat! lol This is why I am such a hater of the other brands, I for one am not going to sit around and see or listento anti mopar nonsense with out some payback! ;) Here is some of the conversation here is the link for those of you who are on Facebook

Danny, do your research. The Challenger weighs about 400 pounds more than the Mustang. It is a much bigger platform than the Mustang. You guys really need to read before spouting off.

Guess nobody watches football in America! The hell cat is that 350 pound lineman running 4.4 40's! The fat jokes are all the haters got at this point!

Kaspar Howe Considering that for every 100 lbs on the car, adds another .1 to your quarter mile, i would say he's got a point. Right off that's at least .4 slower then it could be.

It's more of an American GT than either the Camaro or Mustang (which get painful in the back for those over 12 yrs old.....)

Extra weight means nothing in a 1/4 mile when there's the extra horsepower. It's about the ratio, not the actual numbers.
Like · 4 · July 1 at 2:47pm
n You're aware that the extra weight affects the ratio, right Matthew? That's what we're all saying. Even with more power it will still have a higher weight to power ratio than the GT500. 5.9 lb/hp to 5.8, unless they also did some weight reduction with the power increase.

then there is gearing, air resistance, altitude, front/rear weight balance, driver weight the list of variables goes on and on,

Nicholas Secor No its all about the number if your a racing person you'd know. For starters idc how much power it has its power to weight is more than the 2014 GT500. The Mustang still wins. The gear ratios and power to weight makes all the difference... the lower your power to weight is the more faster or quicker it is thank you!. #Mustang4Life.

Kyree S. Williams Actually, the Challenger handles quite well for being such a large car. And (I'm not a Mopar fan-boy) but I like the fact that it's got enough room to comfortably seat people in the rear, as opposed to the sawed-off buckets that are the Mustang and Camaro's rear seat accommodations.

Dan Capotosto Lmao the car runs tens. And has all new suspension. Everyone is so ignorant. A shelby 1000 or super snake aren't production cars. This is faster than the outgoing shelby and the camaro zl1. Plus, the camaro is right up there in weight. I swear some of you "car enthusiasts" are downright dumb

Andrew Henry I think some people are missing the point here...the Hellcat doesn't exist to be the best all-around muscle car, in the same way that pitchers don't exist to occupy every position on a baseball team. The Hellcat obviously isn't all things to all people. It just wants you to floor it, and watch you giggle when 150 comes up way, way sooner than you expected. When you want big numbers, you need big strength, and if its going to be (relatively) affordable, it can't be made of all exotic material. People won't buy a $100k Challenger. It's big, it's aggressive, and oh yeah, it has 707 HP.
