Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat (2019 update, automatic version):
Claimed Power: 717 bhp / 727 PS / 535 kW
Actual Power: 765 bhp / 776 PS / 571 kW
Estimated Weight: 2063 kg with driver and fuel
Source of Estimations: (see below)
Imperial acceleration figures (for U.S.):
▪ 0-30 mph: 1.417 s
▪ 0-60 mph: 3.134 s
▪ 0-100 mph: 7.551 s
▪ 0-150 mph: 18.240 s
▪ 0-200 mph: 70.692 s
▪ Top speed: 200.804 mph *average of both directions
▪ 1/4 mile: 11.327 s @ 125.458 mph
▪ 1 mile: 29.119 s @ 178.761 mph
▪ 1' rollout: 0.279 s + 0.744 s (VHT prep)
Metric acceleration figures (for rest of the world):
▪ 0-100 km/h: 4.279 s
▪ 0-200 km/h: 13.241 s
▪ 0-300 km/h: 45.335 s
▪ Top speed: 330.119 km/h
▪ 0-380 m: 12.168 s @ 191.725 km/h (max. 11.920 s @ 201.470 km/h)
▪ 0-400 m: 12.544 s @ 194.665 km/h (max. 12.300 s @ 204.580 km/h)
▪ 0-1000 m: 22.569 s @ 238.906 km/h (max. 20.910 s @ 264.500 km/h)

(I initially used these estimates for the Redeye, but having realized that these two are basically the same car with a different version of the same motor, I decided to use WallaceRacing instead of TorqueStats to tone down the estimates for the standard facelifted Hellcat model by simplying changing the power output from 814 actual hp to 765 actual hp.)

This is going to be a very rare situation with my estimates, so don't expect this to happen with just any car I perform simulations on. I did this with every distance figure. However, it was even trickier for the acceleration figures; I left all the acceleration figures up to 60mph (100km/h) identical to the Redeye/Jailbreak/Super Stock/Demon (without the Crate toolkit), but added absolutely no less than 20% to timing figures at 200km/h (~125mph) and higher for the standard Hellcat.

There is a common misconception that the standard Hellcat rivals the current-gen ZL1 and GT500 (the Redeye version rivals those). The standard model's proper competitors are actually, unfortunately, the previous-gen versions of those two smaller cars (the ones with 580hp and 662hp riding on Australian and British platforms, respectively), but in today's world the Hellcat barely beats the Scat Pack on either a pavement or a road course, let alone the current-gen [GT/Mach 1] and [LT1/SS] versions of the actual muscle car's smaller pony counterparts. The now-discontinued GT350 and Z28 will almost absolutely beat the Hellcat.

You never listed your source. The Challenger Hellcat has too much wheelspin to go under 4 seconds to 60 mph.

On special surface (like drag strip), it probably can. But that's not real life conditions.

I use TorqueStats and HPWizard to estimate my numbers, plus my own 0-100 and 0-200km/h (62 and 125mph) estimates based on tires, gearing, and power-to-weight.

If you look at my newer estimations that I posted on most other car pages you will see that I have linked to Google (spread)Sheets with more information to provide.
