Which is quicker?

0-60 mph

The Challenger SRT Hellcat is quicker to 60 mph by 0.3 s: 3.8 s vs 4.1 s (BMW claim vs MotorWeek test). One figure is an automaker claim and the other an instrumented magazine test, so treat a small gap as a near-tie: claims and tests are measured differently.

Quarter mile

Only the Challenger SRT Hellcat has a published quarter-mile time (11.2 s, Dodge-claimed).

How we compare

We compare like with like: two automaker claims when both exist, otherwise two instrumented tests, and we say so when we have to mix them. Where a source lists several configurations, we lead with the quickest one it states (and name it). Acceleration times depend on surface, temperature, tires, fuel and launch technique, so a gap of 0.1 s is within the noise.

No figure here is simulated or estimated. Blank cells mean no automaker figure and no named instrumented test we could cite. Figures are for the model year shown; later updates can change them.
