Those times could be accomplished with less than 400 hp at 3000lbs. I just don't understand why companies keep building cars like the zl1 camaro, gt500, and this challenger with all this horsepower, that weigh a ton and dont hook worth a crap.

You are getting a bit carried away here. I get your point but 400Hp in a 3000lb car is running closer to 11.8 in the qtr. You need 500HP to get to 11 flat.

The cars (Camaros and Challengers) are heavy and that's why they need 600-700HP to truly be quick.
700HP in a 3000lb car gets you into the 9's.
