They are calling for a target of 4,400lbs, which is freakin heavy. Relatively speaking against the competition it isn't of course.
Problem is the power to weight, even at 10:1 lbs/hp, you would need 440hp in the Hellcat to keep up with a 350hp, 3500lb car. Obviously the gap get wider as you want to go faster. I went 127mph with my 550hp, 3500lb 3rd gen - imagine what another 150hp would do...
