Hellcats vs Hunting Panthers would make for an interesting scenario.

Yes it would! Speed and 360 traverse (rate of fire in CS terms) vs. main armament lethality. It would be an extreme test of the U.S. tactics that emphasized numbers and maneuver to gain the flanks and rear of German armor. Our scenario, to be tethered to reality, might need to consider the crew quality and training issues that plagued late-war German armor, and that strangely don't seem well-represented in most CS scenario designs.

An interesting mismatch! The Jagdpanther was a response to the stiff competition in the gun/armor race on the Eastern Front. In the West, facing thin skinned Allied tanks and the thinner-skinned TDs, it would be hard to justify diverting Panther production to field Jagdpanthers Even the 75L48 was more than adequate
against all but the late-war Pershings and M4 assault tanks; the Panther's 75L70 even more so.
