This is a stretch though:
Um... how? The SS is 37K without the Hennessey upgrade. That is already more than half the price of the 60K Hellcat. They were probably almost the same price.and probably for about half the cost when all is said and done.

Guess what - there's no way that HPE750 package adds zero weight. So trying to claim a factory SS curb weight is just dishonest.Hennessey’s HPE750 package, nominally rated at 751 crank horsepower, adds a supercharger, stainless steel headers, a Hennessey-designed camshaft and CNC-ported cylinder heads to the 6.2-liter LT1 engine. That doesn’t even touch the whole host of supporting and cooling mods that allow Hennessey to claim over 40 more horsepower than the Hellcat.
Beyond having more power at its disposal, the Hennessey-supercharged Camaro can also boast a much lower curb weight. At its heftiest, a Camaro SS boasts a 3,685 pound curb weight. The Hellcat, meanwhile, comes in at a portly 4,449 pounds, granting the Camaro a nearly 800 pound advantage. More power. Less weight, and probably for about half the cost when all is said and done.
