On a small technical course (like Streets of Willow) I think they battle it out pretty closely. On a big course (like Big Willow) the SRT has the lead the whole time. For pure straight line speed the SRT should pull on a SS with no problem.

I will also make the claim that the SRT is quicker than a stock m235i around Big Willow. I did a 1:33 at Willow with my current setup. I don't doubt a stock SRT pulls that off on the same track.

I just think the Charger pulls off the american muscle car better than the SS and is just a much better overall package. Charger just has that spark that I didn't get with the SS.

Keep in mind I'm talking about the 2015+ Charger. Which is a big update from the previous years.

Damn, makes me want to go get one again. I'm trying to hold onto the BMW until I move in about 18 months. If I move to Vegas the SRT will be back on my list. If I move to Flagstaff, AZ I'll probably end up with a 4x4 to tackle the snow.
Thanks for the info. New respect for the Dodge!

I did find some lap times at Streets of Willow. Not definitive proof of anything since the laps were done at different times. However, these are all with Randy Pobst doing the driving, so that's about as apples to apples as we might get:

#15 - Camaro SS 1LE 1:22.70
#21 - BMW M4 1:23.73
#24 - 2015 Ford Mustang GT 1:24.29
#35 - 2014 Chevy SS 1:25.71
#36 - Dodge Challenger R/T 6.4 Scat Pack 1:25.76
#42 - BMW M235i 1:26.37
#44 - 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat 1:26.87
