every car on that list has at least 600hp.

Technology > Brute Force but technology + brute force > technology.

Of course the VERY fastest cars are going to be a wicked combination of both.

So let's look a little further down the list.

2013 Nissan GTR - 542 HP, curb weight 3,827lbs, 0-60 in 3.0
2015 SRT Hellcat - 700 HP, 4,439 weight, 0-60 in 3.5

So the Nissan GTR with nearly an identical power to weight ratio is quite a bit faster. We'd have to go back to 2009 to find a 480hp GTR that ran the same 3.5 seconds.

Now here's the big kicker. With all due respect, unless you're really in to drag racing on the side, the chances of YOU running a 3.5 in that challenger are pretty low. On the other hand, your Grandma can bust off a 3.0 in the GTR with launch control. Technology is just better than brute force.
