The new year is here, and what better way to celebrate than with some SRT Hellcat burnouts. There are only two vehicles currently fitted with the supercharged 6.2-liter HEMI V-8 known as the Hellcat, the Charger and the Challenger, and they’re both here turning rubber into smoke.

Both vehicles in SRT Hellcat trim produce 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, and surprisingly it’s the Charger SRT Hellcat that’s the quicker over the quarter mile. That’s because the Charger SRT Hellcat’s 100 pounds of extra curb mass gives it more traction off the line, resulting in an 11.0-second ET versus the Challenger SRT Hellcat’s 11.2-second time.
