@@willy3sticks647 if you can’t quantify it, it’s probably not true. The hype around CT5VBW is mind boggling.

Yup, now imagine the upcoming ZR1 which rumors say will have a 950hp twin turbo version of the Z06 set up..and then the Zora which will sit above the ZR-1...rumors for that is that it will have an even lighter/wider/more aggressive body/wheel/tire/brake setup even than the ZR-1..plus the ZR-1's drivetrain plus the addition of 2 front electric motors to give at least 1,250hp stock on normal pump gas...now imagine when the tuners get ahold of that Zora and run Ethanol race gas ECU tunes on it w/full bolt on's including straight piped exhaust, strengthened transmission upgrades, upgraded cooling, headers/cams/rods/mid & down pipes/methane injection/ice box in the frunk to keep it all ice cold...guaranteed we'll see closer to 2,000 hp Zora's even before doing any sort of enlarged bored/stroked kits, & we'll definitely see them w/much bigger turbo's installed by the tuners...its gonna be then fast enough to take on that upcoming 1,850 hp Zenvo Aurora or 1,850 hp Bugatti Bolide but at a tiny fraction of the cost...$250,000 for a stock Zora...w/full bolt on mods & cooling/trans/icebox/methane injection...maybe $300k? but will take on $5 million dollar hypercars...now w/the later on bigger stroker kits added & huge turbo's...2,500 hp to 3,000 Zora's will be seen on the road in street races for sure...just give it some time...those will be able to take on the upcoming Koenigsegg 2,300hp 4 seater....
@@johnmuzic3475 From what I heard they are reversing that. the ZR-1 will have the Z06 with 2 electric motors, and the Zora will have Z06 with twin turbo and 2 electric motors.
@@jh9363 that's why from a dig would be an interesting race. Curious if that 1000 hp Caddie would be able to catch up and overtake the Z06 by the end of a quarter mile.
Wow... The corvette is a amazing. I think it is rated as having around 650hp and get it is giving that 1000hp cadi a hard time. I don't have money for either but if I did have money like that I would get both. I would daily drive the cadi and drive the C8 at night or on the weekends when and where there is no one is around. Having fun trying to find its limits.
As someone who drives a stick but also has a 10 speed it’s nothing like ripping through gears manually. The sound of that CT5 working through gears may be one of the best sounds I’ve ever heard in my life 🥹🥹
I love both cars. CTSV is my all time favorite. That said do it from a dig and I bet the outcome is different. Do it from a dig with both stock and I would bet money it's a different outcome.
Why is it, everyone talks about stock this and stock that and this one would win....lol, this isnt a stock vs stock vid...of course the vette would win...its a 1k hp car(what it really is though, an advertisement for hennessey)....they love their 1k cars, i dont blame em, i would also...
Guys first there both amazing cars but the people knocking the V, it's a 4 door sedan! Yes 1000hp but the manual is actually slower than the 10spd and if the V was stock that wouldn't be a fair race against the Z especially on a dig. The corvette is a tough car to beat buts actually a pretty fair comparison in this scenario.
Wait for the Hennessy Corvette Z06 and have a do over. We already know what the outcome will be. The 1,000 hp Cadillac will stock again. I'm not knocking the build capabilities of Hennessy. That Cadillac is a beast It's just how the video is presented as if the Corvette was going to be so blown away that it would become front page news around the world. Hennessy could easily breathe on the Corvette ZO6 and things would be the reverse when pitted against the 1000 horsepower Cadillac.
Funny thing, if you port the intake you gain around 30whp in the Z06, port the intake and install a fabspeed exhaust and you're looking at a 680whp car
Most people miss the fact that the Caddy is a 4 door sedan!!! Caddy looks and sounds way better than the Vette one can only guess what would happen from standing start but my $$ on the Blackwing- all wheel drive and way more torque!
It’s crazy how the Z06 basically kept up the a 1000Hp car if the V was tuned from a different company it would probably walk that car. Got to give props to the Z06 of how amazin that car is but also that V is so beautiful and and ass
In the Multiverse, the Cadillac is offered with a manual and the Corvette only in an automatic, and the Cadillac sounds like a Corvette and the Corvette aounds like a Cadillac.
Caddy sounds nice but can only roll race. Put the same 40k in upgrades that Hennessy put in the caddy then test them out. Maybe run them in a track. Sure a 1/4 mile roll race it will win stock but that’s it.
Lets tune the Z06 & add a turbo or supercharger. We can wait for the ZR1 to make it fair. The Vette looks and sounds better. It will hold it's value better.
Hennessey wanted their car to have an advantage by starting at 40mph. They know their Blackwing won’t stand a chance if the race start from a stop position. I dare them to try race the CO6 from a dead stop, the vette will eat their car alive.
Yes! Finally someone said it. I am biased here because I own a Zo6. Everytime they have raced the C8 stingray or Zo6, they have never used launch control. Which is really weird, seems like they are trying ti make there cars look better.
Ok but did a Chevy win here? I didn't see that. I do give the incredible Z06 uber credit for not falling too far behind, but far enough. They proved a Point. Where do I sign up for the 6 spd manual Caddy Supercar?
Obviously they don't go from the dig. 99% of driving these road n track cars are not drag racing. They are not designed for that. And Hennessey is trying to show how truly fast his car is under normal conditions. Trying to launch the rwd 6 spd car with 1000 hp only would show how traction limited it is in 1st and 2nd gear.
Corvette, the biggest “paper tiger” car on earth…I’d take a Supra with a few mods over those cars and bet ya I win 9 out of 10 times…sorry, but Corvette’s are so overrated as opposed to what they actually can do it’s a joke.
man that C8 Z06 is slow beaten by an SUV man and people really pay $200 k for a Z06 why? because it's slow? Ha! lol Dum real Dum to pay that much This is why the country is going down! I can make my 22 Mazda Miata faster that a C8 Z06 why it's got no torque this is why
They obviously can't do a dig they can only do roll so both cars aren't all over the road. Corvette is way lighter and still slow. Caddy better looking and a better car period as you just seen....lol😂😂😂

Corvette C8s arent garbage lol litteraly every car has caught on fire and only 6 after serious track use isnt even a bad statistic. 100k for a car that you can push with the super reliable LT2s, great handling, and better interior than most other cars to date
@@joerichardson6107There are engine problems on the z06 not because its a bad engine, but because gm is trying to force gm engineers to mass produce hand built motors. The motors are holding up fine otherwise
I think it’s super impressive for c8 z06 keeping up with 1000hp like that. That auto vs stick makes a huge difference!!
Still hard on Caddy with a manual
The Cadi only made 844 hp on a Dyno before testing just so you guys know
@@jamikal5 whp! 1000hp is at the crank..
yeah that DCT they have is no joke
That's how subpar Hennessey is. That ct5v should be much faster claiming those numbers.

That thing is a big fat pig, almost 450lbs heavier than the ZO6
The hp make up for the weight difference. Simple math

Some tech talk would be nice for this one.
