Corvette smokes the Cat from a dig. Roll race from 40 is dead even until 120 the charger starts pulling. They shut down in 130s. Looks hot there.. DA is probably not helping the supercharged kitty. I’d imagine with better DA after 100 or 110 the kitty would probably pull on the base c8 model.

It’s crazy how not one single person on video can ever ever launch a hellcat on the street. Ever.

It’s called never do a first gear launch from a dig unless you want to loose 😡.

The thing I think of is how I use to race on that track (Lone Star Raceway in Sealy TX.) b4 Hennessey bought it & shut it down to open public racing , now he just uses it all to him self & his shop next door. We went there every weekend for years & years. It was the track west of Houston & originally it was 1/8 mile then it became 1/4 mile & a lot of people went all the time so I sure I'm not the only 1 sore about Spoiled Hennessey :poop: buying it ! :mad:
What a shame. :rolleyes:

No matter what. I love the hellcat.

but that c8 is something special. The power to weight. And the balance. Plus with added power. That thing is going to be a fast Platform in the future.

Exactly what I keep saying. My local racing group has a guy that keeps posting stuff like this. Because a Hellcat doesn't run a 10 on stock power. 🤣
The mustang guys are on my side. LOL

Not knocking the Vette or the GT500 for that matter but they bring out the worst in the anti HC crowd. Smh
Sure throw joe shmo in the Hellcat and it doesn't always turn out well. Put someone that knows wth they are doing and results vary greatly.
Whatever.

Ha! Still can't beat the fat HC widebody Charger on a roll. Some engineering there Chevy!

Joking aside, I might buy one when the Z06 version is released. This Corvette damn near broke the internet when deliveries were happening.

This one doesn’t turn out any better and it’s a Redeye. Those C8’s can launch.

The biggest problem with the C8 is the lack of interior room. Maybe it’s just me, but very few manufacturers make a performance vehicle meant for tall people. By tall I mean 6’8”. If you’re over 6’3” you’re SOL!

Have you sat in one? From what I understand the C8 has 16 inches more leg room than the C7. I had a C7 and at only 601 I hardly fit.
