No doubt the hellcat would smoke a Superbird. But my point was after 45 years the top speed is only bested by 2 mph. The bird was a one of a kind never to be duplicated. I wonder what the next 45 years will bring?
The top speed of the Superbird was an anomaly. I don't think it's a fair comparison. Most of the "performance cars" of the day had top speeds in the range of 125-150. With the technology (or lack thereof) of the Superbird, 200 MPH would be a truly scary experience.
The acceleration of the Hellcat is the startling feature of the car. You're getting true supercar acceleration for "only" $65k. Other cars in that same 0-60 range cost hundreds of thousands, or even millions. The car can reach 130 MPH in TEN SECONDS!
200 MPH in a Hellcat would be a relative walk in the park.
