Let’s all just take a moment to appreciate how this video gets straight to the point. Intro clip of the 2 cars racing with no shitty music, immediately into the first run, great camera work. Hard to find these kinds of videos any more.
This is exclusively due to the fact that they make most of their revenue from modifying cars and not putting out content on RUclips. That is the difference in the drive behind the video being made
z06 is expected to be 100HP more at least. zr1 way more... like 200+ hp more than this one. even with 100hp more, it will obliterate the HC or even red eye.
In early testing on the z06 there was way to much chassis twist that it would break the rear glass. They have to figure out what needs to be done to correct that without making to many changes, otherwise there wont be a z06 for many years to come
The current z06's are faster than a HC what you people on? Lol maybe not on dig depending if they got drag radials other than that on a roll the vette is just lighter and it outruns the hellcat. Obviously the new ones will be faster
I love how GM demonstrates that building a proper performance car isn't just about shoving the most amount of power under the hood. Traction, weight distribution, hugely important obviously.
Engine placement is the real reason why it performs better. A mid engine configuration will always perform better than a front engine configuration. Also, mid engine cars have superior acceleration off the line as well. Engine placement makes a huge difference in acceleration and handling.
Mid engine configuration is much more balanced than front engine cars. That's because, in addition to a mid-mounted engine's proximity to the rear wheels, this design also allows the car to achieve ideal weight distribution, center of gravity and traction. When the car's weight is centered, the wheels won't be thrown off balance by having to cope with extra weight, and the car can be steered with more precision. These are factors the average driver probably never thinks about, but can make a world of difference powering through tight turns on a track.
A front-engine vehicle can be tuned for some spirited driving, front-engine cars are at such an engineering disadvantage from a performance perspective that many high-performance auto manufacturers reserve them for their low-end models or skip them altogether. Why? The simplest explanation is that rear-wheel-drive cars handle the best from a performance perspective, and a ton of power would be wasted if a front-mounted engine had to send its output down the entire length of the car to turn the rear wheels. Front-engine cars also lose a bit of braking capacity because the car's weight shifts forward as the car decelerates, giving it extra momentum in the unwanted direction.
Once again, Chevrolet and all the Corvette engineers have done a spectacular job with this car. I'm excited to see what the ZR1 version of this car is like.
Scott Mccauley Your right. I think it’s fair to say the corvette is now in the the class of the Ford GT40. Viper can level up too but the big engines with rwd in today’s market ain gonna cut it.
This goes to show you how much traction and weight makes a difference. The C8 is benefitting hugely with the new midengine configuration. It also goes to show you that you need to immediately purchase drag radials when you buy a hellcat lol
@Unknown Person because spinning ain't winning. Even launching from those low rpms it still broke loose, he pedaled it and got back into it and by the time it hooked the c8 was history.
Unknown Person so you think he should’ve been revved higher when he spun low? Y’all would’ve still said the launched was trash even he was in the spot y’all wanted him to be.
Wow. I expected the C-8 to win from a dig cause of the mid-engine, but I thought it would get smoked from a rolling start of 40 MPH with the dodge having 707hp. Very impressive C-8.
any RWD american sedan or coupe you have to discount the hp by 250 to get a feel for how it will perform. I used to marvel at how horrible the 500+hp mustangs, camaros, chargers/challengers were at the strip. Always a disappointment unless they were on non-street tires. Which makes the result at the strip pointless unless that's why you bought the car. Most of us buy a car hoping to drive it on the street and have it accelerate.
I absolutely expected it to jump it from a dig, but not quite THAT much. I am curious if the Hellcat was on fatter tires or radials how it would go, but to be fair that would not be stock for stock. I, like you, definitely expected the hellcat to have more of an edge from a roll but was interested to see what effect the weight difference/balance of the midengine had, ya know, off paper. Not disappointed at all. It looks like Corvette really has something special with this C8. If they're reliable in the long run on top of all that we already know, it is absolutely the best bang for the buck car right now!
Chris Dwyer it’s not overwhelmed the engine is in the back and the vette is lighter of course it’s gonna be pretty even. Dodge will produce another great car...hopefully
@@downstock9609 too much power and not enough traction = overwhelmed. Having the engine in the back is part of the chassis, and thus gives it more potential. I stand by my comment.
Chris Dwyer I agree with the engine in the back, it equalizes the weight and power to be put to the ground way easier. I just want the hate about hellcats to stop because dodge set the bar now we’re getting better cars by all companies in terms of sports cars
@@downstock9609 I get that. I have no hate for the hellcat. It's no secret it has issues putting all that power to the ground, but it set the bar for what a muscle car should be.

The thing I don't like about this channel is how misleading it Is like sure the c8 is faster but what times did the cars run. Like how do we know this wasn't paid for by Chevy and they intentionally slowed down. I doubt it but we can't prove that both cars ran a usual time.
@@carsonwilliams the c8 wasn't faster, it just hooked better and then in the roll race the hellcat had a better top end. They post real world scenarios if you were to drive them on the street as is. No need for time slips or et's because that was a street run. Sure the hellcat would win if it had slicks but that's not the point here. For what the corvette has, it's awesome that it got it till 90mph
crisloko180 just imagine they had a feature so you can click a button to change from AWD to RWD whenever you please so you can still burnout and do donuts lmao
I figured that the C8 would take it from a dig and boy did it, but I thought the Charger would have walked it on the roll race. Surprised to see how close they are but you can see the 707hp as the MPH climbed on the Cat.
The cat got it's ass handed to it from a dead stop. I think drag racing is from a dead stop not 40 mph role. Dodge needs to re visit the viper and make it a mid engine.
Im a Ford and Chevy Guy. But Imagine if they bring back the Viper with Mid engine V10 awd hybrid. God Bless America. The car would be a Comic Book Super Hero!
I'm a Mustang owner and I appreciate both these cars for what they are. This video is simply a comparison, not a COMPETITION. So people need to stop commenting "If (blank) had a (blank) it would whoop their ass. If you pretend your car is the fastest car in the world, you'll never be able to enjoy anything; you'll just get more power hungry which is a downfall for most cars. So enjoy what you have people need to stop acting superior over another cause everybody has it's own flaws
@@genesisD944 just admit it, the c8 won fair and square because the hellcat twins make too much horsepower for their platform, doesn't matter how much horsepower a car has, if you can't put the power down then it's just gonna spin up and smoked by car with half its horsepower
The hellcat is a brick with no aerodynamics. When the C8 Z06 and ZR1 come out it’s going to change the super car world forever. Corvette is going to be taking everybody’s lunch.
I love the hellcat. Maybe I’m one of the few people that respect the car for what it is. It’s a big and heavy gas guzzler and that loses more races than it wins lol. But I don’t care.
Its the nostalgia value that the Charger/Challenger provide. They really do not have true competitors anymore, not saying that in a flaunting way. The others have become sports cars, not really muscle cars anymore. They are not the fastest but they have a colt following like no other, and I think that is where they gain so much respect.
I totally agree I bought a charger hellcat just for the family & for daily driver I also ordered a C8 on August 6th it’s gonna be a track car so I’m gonna have the luxury of owning both these cars and gonna trade n hellcat charger for the redeye I’m definitely gonna make some videos of those two cars forsure !!!!
Even the older C7 stingray with an 8 speed auto can outrun a hellcat from a dig, the hellcat always has traction issues with all that power. Both cars are badass tho!
This is a nice throwback to when youtube race videos were just 1 or 2 minutes long. Now they are 20min long and start with the drivers eating breakfast, drinking a whey protein shake and going to the gym
Rule #1 with a HC. Unless you're prepped with drag radials and tweaked suspension, dont race from the dig. You won't be able to put the power down. Rule #2 with a HC. When racing from the roll, make sure you are in the power band when you go; with the heavy weight and freeway gears (2.65?) as the axle ratio, you have to be in the sweet spot. It took a minute to reel in the Vette and pull on it to win the second race. Finish line is at 1:39. Good video
Not just that. Mid engine and dct makes a huge difference. C7 was lighter and down in only 35 hp but it could only do 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds. This C8 does it in 2.8 seconds.
2020 Dodge Charger Hellcat Widebody owners pulling up be like _”Wanna do a 120 roll? It’s the only way I’ll win a race against your 500hp $70k car in my 707hp $102k car”_ 🤣🤣🤣
Uhhh.. a c8 is basically the same cost as a hellcat lol. Also that hellcst would murder that c8 if it has drag radials. That's why street cars with 500ish hp are the best.
Doesn’t matter how much power it has, it matters that a sedan can take down a fast sports car from 40 mph, just don’t do it from a dig lol! Great race with great American autos!
The Corvette is, always had been and always will be an absolute masterpiece of a car. A true demonstration of American engineering precision and beauty. And I'm not even American. I'm half Australian half English. To me the Corvette is the ultimate performance car.
It ain't faster bud, just takes of faster, give that kitty some slicks and a quarter mile, and the vette is gone, also the charger has a better look, not just that Ferrari on a budget look from the vette
Two extremely good looking and good cars. if corvette can make a c8 look like that in 2021 imagine what both chevy and dodge can do with there cars in the future.
Judging by the comments I think alot of people don't understand the point of these two cars and how both serve completely different purposes. The hellcat is a is a crazy over the top 4 door family car. Its fast but it's not built purely for speed, it's a big heavy car, with a crazy sounding engine that you can take the whole family out in for a Sunday drive, there's isn't much else out there like it. The Corvette on the other, especially this latest generation, is built purely for speed. Am actually shocked the charger was close in the rolling race.
Shocked. It has 707 hp dude. The vette 495. Once they are rolling that should have been it, but no the corvette is just built really well. Get outta here a 500 hp car should have walked the hellcat
agreed but something about that hellcat is off it wasn't accelerating as if it was in red key mode. not calling the c8 slow at all because that thing flies lol but i never seen a hellcat take that long to get up to speed at least from a 40 roll. A dg i can see due to traction issues.
@HUNCHO X WORLD For the last fucking time, the Corvette is RWD. The only AWD corvettes are the E ray, possibly the grand sport, and the Zora, and those aren't out yet.
B-RI it’s a sedan that weighs 1k more and has no aerodynamics. Use your brain. It’s not better engineering. Dodge will eventually make a sick car again

Corvettes were one of the first performance cars to really put focus on power to weight ratios over pure horsepower. Proof in the pudding to this day
also does not good to have all that power in that boat if u cant get it to stick to the road.

@@Luke-cb3ly doubt be's crying over a youtube video lol
That is the slowest 707 hp I have ever seen. Lol
And you've seen them all BIG GUY...🤣...
Facts
I mean it's hard to put the power down with 707hp and RWD on basic street tires and a normal road
Christopher Boris It was also a horrible launch. At least put it in second gear.
I'm sure there's all kinds of excuses for the charger.
Hellcat: your pretty fast
C8: you ain’t seen nothing yet
That would make since if they did a rolling start first.
The hellcat is a brick with no aerodynamics. When the C8 Z06 and ZR1 come out it’s going to change the super car world forever. Corvette is going to be taking everybody’s lunch.
I love the hellcat. Maybe I’m one of the few people that respect the car for what it is. It’s a big and heavy gas guzzler and that loses more races than it wins lol. But I don’t care.
I hear ya brother! Different strokes for different folks. I'll take the cat all day bc it makes me really happy and is really comfortable.
Its the nostalgia value that the Charger/Challenger provide. They really do not have true competitors anymore, not saying that in a flaunting way. The others have become sports cars, not really muscle cars anymore. They are not the fastest but they have a colt following like no other, and I think that is where they gain so much respect.
4 door sedan. No thanks.
Fat chicks need love too
@@gabeslife0601 lol
Yup, I'm in love with the C8, zero question about it.
Yea, this went exactly how I imagined it would .
Best video simple straight to the point no talking no introduction Bam Bam there's the video This is how videos should be done
The c8 competition seats are literally the worst imaginable thing a human can sit on. Should be a torture device.
I love when companies try to out do the other giving us amazing cars year after year
That much power and performance for a stingray, can’t wait for the new Z06😭. It’s gonna step on hellcats like bugs
Jonathan Perche the c7 z06 already steps on hellcats
@@xerxes1245 yea cause the zl1 can't the viber be killing them corevettes at the track
I'm pretty sure the C8 wasn't designed to compete with the hellcat, not even on GM's radar.
race the twin turbo c8 u guys did vs the hellcat
I didn’t even have to search comments for a time stamp of the race starting. Great video guys. Thanks for getting to the point.
Chevrolet has really stepped up their game imagine the zr1/ z06 variant 😳
All these videos has me really excited for the C8Z, its going to decimate all.
Well what do they expect? They’re racing a boat against a mid engine sports car 😂
Boat? More like tank.
@@zlinedavid definitely a tank
Yall can't call the charger a tank when there's the Dodge Challenger aka fat cat
Scott Mccauley I like the way u think u look at the bigger picture
I totally agree I bought a charger hellcat just for the family & for daily driver I also ordered a C8 on August 6th it’s gonna be a track car so I’m gonna have the luxury of owning both these cars and gonna trade n hellcat charger for the redeye I’m definitely gonna make some videos of those two cars forsure !!!!
Just got an amber alert for a Dodge Charger.
lol same. Navajo county some native bs
G.C.S. Same lmao
@@bigpotpoker1 Dude.. Come on.
Lol what did it say
Man that c8 is no joke! It smoked a lambo a gt500 and a hellcat!! That's what I am talking about!!!
Even from a roll...495hp wasn’t losing NEARLY as much as I anticipated
Two beautiful American cars, at the opposite ends of approach to speed.
Hell yeah 🤟
Even the older C7 stingray with an 8 speed auto can outrun a hellcat from a dig, the hellcat always has traction issues with all that power. Both cars are badass tho!
Anyone who owns a Corvette of any year are way too cool to fathom. So I salute all Vette owners with 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 out of ten flags.
Thx I own 3 Corvettes so I’m really cool. Haaaa
I love that we dont get a 10 minute intro with BS info
Straight to the gears!

This is a nice throwback to when youtube race videos were just 1 or 2 minutes long. Now they are 20min long and start with the drivers eating breakfast, drinking a whey protein shake and going to the gym
I'll take the dodge as a family hauling monster , and the corvette as the weekend warrior.
Okay in reality, I got a malibu , and a trans am 😂.
I’m
@@hurguenflores3532 huh ? I'm what?
traction and launch control are the most important factors here.
And here we go!!
Rule #1 with a HC. Unless you're prepped with drag radials and tweaked suspension, dont race from the dig. You won't be able to put the power down.
Rule #2 with a HC. When racing from the roll, make sure you are in the power band when you go; with the heavy weight and freeway gears (2.65?) as the axle ratio, you have to be in the sweet spot. It took a minute to reel in the Vette and pull on it to win the second race. Finish line is at 1:39.
Good video

You say that same crap in a street race or just online?
A race or a race, who knew?
Hellcat fanboys
Not just that. Mid engine and dct makes a huge difference. C7 was lighter and down in only 35 hp but it could only do 0-60 mph in 3.8 seconds. This C8 does it in 2.8 seconds.
@@ThisGuyDrives why are you mad though
The C8 does a masterful job at getting the power to the ground.
Sheesh it’s cause the hell cat weights so damn much lol
10th_gen_civic that and it’s not that aerodynamic and it can’t put the power down
More like it has too much power to be using street tires give it traction and 707 hp will beat the 500 lb weight difference. Spinning ain't winning.
@@carsonwilliams no it wont power to weight ratio genius
@@blackgt19 😂 Yea that's how it works if that were the case a Miata would be faster than both with 200 hp
@@carsonwilliams the c8 is a dig race warrior but from a roll its average that's y I'm sure a hellcat will get in on a roll bc momentum built up.

The person who launched the hellcat did it bad
@@genesisD944 C8 also did not use launch control
@@genesisD944 He totally loss traction from the dig, so he fail the first race.
Uhhh.. a c8 is basically the same cost as a hellcat lol. Also that hellcst would murder that c8 if it has drag radials. That's why street cars with 500ish hp are the best.
Now its 102k. DUMMY
Vette with a mild cam swap would murder.

Isn't it 717 now?
Doesn’t matter how much power it has, it matters that a sedan can take down a fast sports car from 40 mph, just don’t do it from a dig lol! Great race with great American autos!
The Corvette is, always had been and always will be an absolute masterpiece of a car. A true demonstration of American engineering precision and beauty. And I'm not even American. I'm half Australian half English. To me the Corvette is the ultimate performance car.
Most people: POWERR
Aerodynamics, Traction, Balance: Am I a joke to you?!
Exactly! People are stupid for thinking power is everything
I'll give you everything you said. But notice from the dig race they let the C8 use launch control and they didn't let the hellcat use its!
I'll never get tired of hearing that supercharger in the Dodge...
The C8
1. Looks better
2. Is faster
3. Cost less.
4. Winner winner chicken dinner
It ain't faster bud, just takes of faster, give that kitty some slicks and a quarter mile, and the vette is gone, also the charger has a better look, not just that Ferrari on a budget look from the vette
Two extremely good looking and good cars. if corvette can make a c8 look like that in 2021 imagine what both chevy and dodge can do with there cars in the future.
Now this is fucking impressive!! The c8 little by little is winning my heart over. 🔥
Imagine racing a heavy ass muscle car and paying an extra 10 grand just to loose in a roll race.
Base model C8 doing that? I can’t wait to see the Z06 and ZL1
Judging by the comments I think alot of people don't understand the point of these two cars and how both serve completely different purposes. The hellcat is a is a crazy over the top 4 door family car. Its fast but it's not built purely for speed, it's a big heavy car, with a crazy sounding engine that you can take the whole family out in for a Sunday drive, there's isn't much else out there like it. The Corvette on the other, especially this latest generation, is built purely for speed. Am actually shocked the charger was close in the rolling race.
Shocked. It has 707 hp dude. The vette 495. Once they are rolling that should have been it, but no the corvette is just built really well. Get outta here a 500 hp car should have walked the hellcat
When you line em up none of what you said matters the least. It's run what you brung and hope you brought enough. No excuses!
Wow, I thought the charger was going to eat that Corvette for lunch. I guess that shows the importance of balancing and aerodynamics. Great video!
agreed but something about that hellcat is off it wasn't accelerating as if it was in red key mode. not calling the c8 slow at all because that thing flies lol but i never seen a hellcat take that long to get up to speed at least from a 40 roll. A dg i can see due to traction issues.
Seen my first one out in the wild just yesterday(white with black trim). Man what a fine looking machine. I'll Probably get one in about 5 years.
I’m noticing the hellcat was not on track mode 🤔
Excuses excuses. Every dam time Mopar loses. It's still has a 222 hp advantage.
Ahmed Hassan they made this to benefit the C8. Hellcat didn’t even have a proper dig launch.. trust me Hellcat would smoke the c8. 🐐
daddy eyez I like both cars actually but look at the video when they show the speedometer you would notice the track mode wasn’t on.
I'm curious what a Trackhawk would do from a dig veraus a C8
Lose
@HUNCHO X WORLD I thought the Vette is rwd?
@HUNCHO X WORLD corvette C8 0-60 2.9 trackhawk 0-60 3.5
and the corvette is RWD
Owned challenger hellcat, drove trackhawk...it was slower and less aerodynamic than challenger HC.
@HUNCHO X WORLD For the last fucking time, the Corvette is RWD. The only AWD corvettes are the E ray, possibly the grand sport, and the Zora, and those aren't out yet.
Better Engineering will win every time...
B-RI it’s a sedan that weighs 1k more and has no aerodynamics. Use your brain. It’s not better engineering. Dodge will eventually make a sick car again
@@downstock9609 200 less horsepower and 1 second faster 0-60. That's what you call better engineering...

Owen Wagner That’s exactly my point, must have struck a cord with a charger guy. Good grief
I thought it got its butt kicked from a roll. Let me see the video again:)
