Makes sense to me. Car makers are known for not even wanting to give an example of their car if a certain competitor will be competing in the test. I've been reading car magazines since I was a kid and I've seen this more then a few times. I'm not guaranteeing this is the case with dodge and their hellcat but an educated guess says it's a strong possibility.
Like i said in my earlier post..that is grade school logic. This is the same as ppl here crying that it was MT fault that ford sent them a 45k mustang claiming MT was out to make it look like the mustang was a horrible bang for buck lol
