Because has less torque (at wheels) at take off compare to M5...
Not sure if this hellcat is MT or AT, but in both cases the gearing are longer than M DCT.
In case of MT, first gear is 2.26 and FD is 3.7
In case of AT, first gear is 4.7 and FD is 2.62
Compare to M5, first gear 4.81 and FD 3.15
Considering 12% drivetrain loss for both cars, if Hellcat generates 650 lb-ft at crank, then transfers ~7000 lb-ft to rear wheels at first gear (take off) if AT or ~4800 lb-ft if MT.
On the other hand if this tuned M5 generates 600 lb-ft at crank, then transfers ~8000 lb-ft torque to the rear wheels... more torque means more wheel spinning and then you can see Hellcat jump better...
