Once you reach a certain level of power it's kind of irrelevant. I would hope that a car with more than 700 horsepower wouldn't feel lethargic. But my personal experiences (in sub 400 horsepower cars) with 8 speed autos has been very disappointing to this point.
And even if the automatic in the Hellcat is "great" I would still want a manual.
