Wonder how the Mustang in question would do in an acceleration contest, between it and the new Dodge Hellcat ?

Good question... but I think I would have to give the nod to the Mustang.

Driver and traction aside, I'd give the hellcat the nod. However, none of the independent magazine tests are getting the kind of performance numbers out of the hellcat that dodge claimed, especially with the manual transmission. The outgoing 2014 GT500 ran better numbers even being down 45 horsepower, when comparing to the challenger hellcat. The GT350 will be fast, but that 707 horsepower will be a lot to overcome. The GT350 is not a straight line performance vehicle, it's more of a track star aimed at the likes of the Z28, BMW, and Porsches

I meant the 65 Mustang with 4 wheel drive would take the Hellcat in a drag race. As far as the 15 GT350 like you said it's more of a track car and I don't think it could take on the Hellcat in a drag race.

The Hoonicorn RTR (awd mustang contraption) would destroy the srt hellcat in a drag race. The GT350 probably would not take it but I don't think it would be as far off as the horsepower difference would suggest.

I don't know what a hoonicon RTR (awd Mustang contraption) is...but it sounds like a non factory modified job. If that is the case...well sure...there are lot's of modified street cars...pro stockers, etc... out there that will destroy a Mustang GT350 or a Hellcat...or a Camaro Z-28. Or probably even a hoonicon RTR.

But the thread is about stockers , made by factories that you can buy from the showroom floor.

At least I think that is the case. :B
