The Hellcat Charger does the same MPH, that car would be a hell of a grocery getter with a baby seat in the back.. Yeah I actually made a positive comment about a Dodge I must be groggy..
I'm not an expert, but I don't see how a faster start would have given them another 8-10 mph. They seemed to have hit the wall at around 200 mph and from there it was a very slow crawl.
