This 1150bhp Challenger Hellcat Still Can’t Beat A McLaren 720S

We all know that if you tune a slower car you can make it faster than cars that originally had the upper hand. It’s not rocket science; just plain, old, ordinary physics and we love it.

These tuning exercises often throw up surprising comparisons.
