Which car do you think has the best quality out of all of the three here? Which one do you think is the fastest, I mean, which one's the fastest in the quarter-mile?

BMW M5 F10 Competition vs. Cadillac CTS-V vs. Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat (datasheet from Road & Track)

 

Read the article to find out. What is your point?

 

I did. All it mentions is top speed and price for the three cars. No 0-60 or quarter-mile, one of which I'm talking about. The quality thing by the way is just an opinion.

 

The Hellcat already bats through a quarter-mile in 12.0 seconds at 137.0 mph. This is is probably not the same car since it displays slightly different numbers (specifically the curb weight and the weight distribution), and this worksheet was filled out four days after a comparison between the Hellcat, the M5, and the CTS-V was mentioned in the magazine article. For comparison's sake, the Cadillac CTS-V reached the quarter in 11.6 seconds at 126.1 mph at a completely different time, in Chelsea, MI, at 6:30 PM. The BMW M5 Competition Package did a 12.0 at 122.3 back in February 2014.




The same magazine even had a recent 0-200 shootout/comparison, but they didn't include the Cadillac CTS-V or the BMW M5 (which barely even hits 190 without the electronic governor). The Hellcat was the only sedan in the 0-200 test since it could really push itself foward past 200.




From Zero to 30, 60, 100, 150, 200
2016 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Automatic: 1.5 sec, 3.0 sec, 6.6 sec, 14.8 sec, 26.0 sec. It even topped 207.4 mph!
2016 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat: 2.1 sec, 4.9 sec (note: wheelspin happened twice!), 7.3 sec, 14.1 sec, 37.0 sec
2016 Dodge Viper GTS: 1.9 sec, 3.9 sec, 7.8 sec, 22.4 sec (huh?), 79.0 sec
2016 Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 SV: 2.0 sec (note: "very gentle on launching" the car), 3.5 sec, 6.1 sec, 12.8 sec, 33.5 sec
2016 Lamborghini Huracán LP 580-2: 1.4 sec, 3.6 sec, 7.9 sec, 17.9 sec, 49.8 sec
2016 McLaren 675LT: 1.7 sec, 3.5 sec, 6.3 sec, 12.9 sec, 31.2 sec

Standing ¼-Mile
2016 Chevrolet Corvette Z06 Automatic: 10.9 sec @ 132.7 mph
2016 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat: 12.0 sec @ 137.0 mph
2016 Dodge Viper GTS: 11.7 sec @ 127.7 mph
2016 Lamborghini Aventador LP 750-4 SV: 11.5 sec @ 141.3 mph
2016 Lamborghini Huracán LP 580-2: 11.7 sec @ 124.9 mph
2016 McLaren 675LT: 11.2 sec @ 137.6 mph

The McLaren and the Aventador really should be in the high 10s and the mid 10s, respectively, and the Charger is supposed to do exactly a second quicker than what it has done (but I can understand why they have done slower since the roads could have had crooked pavements).

 

Did I forget something before???? I finally found the test numbers to the three of which were in the article!




2016 BMW M5, 2016 Cadillac CTS-V, 2016 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat
1 foot (rollout): 0.4 sec, 0.3 sec, 0.3 sec
Rolling start, 5-60 mph: 4.0 sec, 3.9 sec, 4.1 sec
0-10 mph: 0.4 sec, 0.3 sec, 0.4 sec
0-20: 1.0, 0.9, 1.1
0-30: 1.7, 1.4, 1.7
0-40: 2.4, 2.1, 2.4
0-50: 3.1, 2.7, 3.1
0-60: 3.8, 3.5, 3.7
0-70: 4.8, 4.3, 4.6
0-80: 5.9, 5.2, 5.6
0-90: 7.0, 6.2, 6.5 (the other Charger Hellcat did 6.7 despite doing 0-60 in a slowish 4.9 sec)
0-100: 8.3, 7.4, 7.7
0-110: 9.9, 8.9, 9.0
0-120: 11.6 (0-¼-mile: 12.0/122.3), 10.5, 10.8
0-130: 13.5, 12.3 (11.6/126.1), 12.7 (11.7/125.1)

60-0 mph: 122 ft, 112 ft, 114 ft
80-0 mph: 209 ft, 191 ft, 194 ft
Fade: none, mild, mild

Roadholding: 0.92 g (mild), 0.98 g (mild), 0.90 g (mild)
Balance: understeer, understeer, understeer

I'd say take 5% off the Hellcat's weight up front and shave off 300 pounds and it'll easily pull into the 11.2-11.3 range at 129-130 mph!
