There are still the persistent rumors of a 10:58 @ near 130-mph out of the automatic car with Dodge engineers testing during a closed track event. But then again I guess these times aren't impressive to a ZL1 or GT500 owner LOL. The problem with your theory is Dodge is typically very conservative with their estimates.

"We remember the days when the Challenger SRT8 392 was in the “revealed, but not entirely” stage the Hellcat currently finds itself in. Back then the vehicle did 12.4 runs, with voices claiming those cars were factory modded. Once people started unleashing the thing onto the drag strip, the Challenger showed it had no problem in achieving such times." autoevolution.com
