Street-tire Hellcats here at low altitude typically run 120~122, it's the modded Hellcats on drag tires where you can see 124~125, or sometimes more. My own partial-bolt-on SS went 122 on street tires and 125 on drag tires btw. Consider the fact that the Hellcat weighs HUNDREDS of pounds more than a bolt-on SS, and that street tires hinder even the lower-hp SS let alone the 707 hp Hellcat, and these are a couple of factors in why the OP in a bolt-on SS on street tires beat the Hellcat on street tires in the standing 1/4 mile.

Ok so do YOU have a time slip from that night? No? Oh ok. Then your input means nothing. I made simple statements and said I would like to see a time slip because these times seem off. Under no circumstances should a Hellcat trap the same as a bolt on SS even if they run the same ET. Sure, the Hellcat is several hundred pounds heavier. No duh. Like, I never realized it after several years that they have been out and from owning one since 2017. But guess what pal, they also typically put down well over 600 RWHP bone stock with some having been as high as 680+. So making approx 200+ more than a bolt on SS to the wheels kinda makes up for the extra weight and then some. So bone stock, it should not be trapping the same as a SS unless either it got terribly heat soaked or the driver didn't know what the Hell he was doing or something is wrong with that particular HC. It's not a $70+ car with over 700 HP just to keep up with the SS bro. The SRT8 will keep up with a SS mod for mod and trans for trans. So there is no way in Hell that adding an extra 400 HP is going to make it slower. Do you understand or not?
The only way to know for sure what went wrong is to see a slip. And yes, for a HC to trap the same as a bolt on SS same track same day same temps and auto to auto, something went wrong. Don't go thinking your SS will match a HC in trap speed or top end because there are plenty of ways you can find out just how wrong you are.
