To be honest, I don’t know why they made such an obscure comparison. They should have compared the Redeye to something like a C7 ZR1 or maybe a DBS Superleggera. Obviously to the Shelby GT500 is better than either, but especially the 812 Superfast, which was way out of the Redeye’s league, and you can tell.

It will most likely beat the SS 1LE Camaro. Not so sure about ZL1 though.

((20600m/(250km/h/(193m*0.3048m))x(2063kg/823hp)/1.48g)x0.0095x1.25 = 7:50 = standard Redeye

((20600m/(250km/h/(193m*0.3048m))x(2063kg/823hp)/1.48g)x0.0095x1.20 = 7:31 = Widebody Redeye

There may have been a misthinking process when I replicated these performance estimations below, especially the rollout-free metric figures. The Redeye cannot possibly be quicker than the GT500, which is rated at 4.2 for 0-100 and 10.8 for 0-200. The Redeye is said to do 3.5 from 0-100 and 10.3 from 0-200, but the problem is only the rollout was accounted for.

11.305s to the first 400m with this 100-200 timing equates to 11.350s for the full ¼-mile. If we account for VHT prep (0.744s), the real ¼-mile time is 12.094s, or 12.049s from 0-400m. The 1km time in my estimation should have been corrected to 20.484s.

When comparing to GT500 and ZL1, I will use corrected figures
Corrected 0-100-> 4.279s
Corrected 0-200-> 11.034s
Corrected 0-300-> 32.382s

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye (2019):
Claimed Power: 797 bhp / 808 PS / 594 kW
Actual Power: 814 bhp / 826 PS / 607 kW
Estimated Weight: 2063 kg with driver and fuel
Source of Estimations: TorqueStats *with several adjustments
Imperial acceleration figures (for U.S.):
▪ 0-30 mph: 1.417 s
▪ 0-60 mph: 3.134 s
▪ 0-100 mph: 6.421 s
▪ 0-150 mph: 15.200 s
▪ 0-200 mph: 50.494 s
▪ Top speed: 202.096 mph *average of both directions
▪ 1/4 mile: 11.071 s @ 129.076 mph *corrected trap speed; also, THAT is even pushing it!
▪ 1 mile: 28.160 s @ 182.030 mph
▪ 1' rollout: 0.279 s
Metric acceleration figures (for rest of the world):
▪ 0-100 km/h: 3.535 s
▪ 0-200 km/h: 10.290 s
▪ 0-300 km/h: 31.638 s
▪ Top speed: 343.537 km/h
▪ 0-380 m: 10.935 s @ 205.682 km/h
▪ 0-400 m: 11.305 s @ 208.861 km/h
▪ 0-1000 m: 19.740 s @ 270.029 km/h

*Initially the estimated trap speed was 138 mph, which is far off the rock even for diehard MoPar fans. Honestly, as much as I love using the TorqueStats calculator, I find this trap speed to be blatant pants on fire. A Dodge Demon recorded 140 mph on 100 octane race gas and drag radials, and this car in stock form can barely even reach 130 mph as verified in most drag racing videos. The calculator handles heavy and powerful RWD cars in a rather optimistic way. As a result of this flaw, I did some major calculations to get this corrected trap speed; the usual trap speed range is 124-129 mph.

In fact, 203 mph is a very conservative estimate, even for the widebody variant. Dodge underestimated the top speed so that Redeye owners don't void their warranty; also another thing too, they didn't want it to conflict with the Viper supercar, which was rated at 206 mph as far as back in 2012. You can reach up to 210 mph in a Widebody Redeye in 6th gear using the standard gear ratio, or even 212 mph in 7th gear using the optional acceleration-focused gear ratio. I was wrong about the Redeye not making more power than claimed; it really does make more than the advertised 797 hp! In most cases, it is as fast as the Demon; just not on a quarter-mile dragstrip.

Drag coefficient: 0.39 - 0.42 Cd (depending on configuration)
Frontal area: 27.82 - 27.96 sq. ft. (including mirrors)
Curb weight: 4382 - 4492 lb (depending on configuration) (+165-166 lb for driver)
Top speed: 211.xx mph; rounded up to 212 mph either way (same as Demon variant; verified @JBPG)
= ~800 rwhp to reach top speed = ~940 hp to the crank

Full disclosure: Physical stats are estimates of my own; I refuse to take magazine tests and manufacturing claims word-for-word. I do not take liability for any errors.

TL;DR: The factory ratings of 797-807 hp are not correct. Redeyes and Super Stocks are only advertised like that because Stellantis won't allow either of them to compete in the same power league as hypercars, which include the ultra-expensive Aston Martin Valhalla and Ferrari SF90 Stradale.

The standard-body Redeye should be good for just a bit over 217 mph.

Good news for Redeye owners!

Top Speed: 195.299 mph
I dont think this car can do 203 mph.

Its all about understanding how to drive a really heavy overpowered car. My Redeye is fairly consistent with 3.6 second 60mph times and 10.9ET 1/4 mile@ 130. on street tires, crappy tracks with NO prep.
Its 100% driver skill with any of the high powered Muscle cars from Detroit.

Acceleration times Depends on who / Where and when they test, Time vary.
0-60 in 3.7s and 1/4 mile in 11.3/11.4s @128 mph is the best Review/Test #'s.

Dodge claims :
0-60 mph : 3.4 secs
1/4 mile : 10.8@ 131 mph , But Dodge tests on a Prepped drag strip (Sprayed with VHT traction compound).

Magazine testing:
Car & Driver....
0-60 mph : 3.7sec
1/4 mile : 11.4 / 128 mph(probably had the option 3.09 gears)
11.8 @ 126 mph which most likely had the standard 2.62 rear gears

Motortrend....
0-60 mph: 4.0 sec
1/4mile: 11.8 @ 128 mph

Motorweek....
0-60 mph: 3.7 sec
1/4 mile: 11.4@126 mph

1/4-mile: 10.8 sec @ 131 mph(Widebody)
1/4-mile: 11.1 sec @ 131 mph(normal)
