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.
The first 20 minutes wasn't inane chatter either. Great video!
This is exclusively due to the fact that they make most of their revenue from modifying cars and not putting out content on UA-cam. That is the difference in the drive behind the video being made
Thank you.
Amen, on no 💩 music.
Right on. The 💩y music is the worst, followed by people droning on about stuff they have little factual knowledge about.
Never mind the cars performance.
Whoever was in charge of cameras and editing deserves a round off applause 👏👏👏
bryan real spit!
Yes sir
No. Im here for the car's performance
Exactly. Finally a car video that’s not 30 minutes long with a nerdy guy talking about how good Apple car play is.
There were some opportunities with the drone shots.
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.
True
Corvette is trying to compete with the Viper, the chargers never stood a chance
They put huge motors into light weight cars. Back then it was about pure horsepower there weren’t many cars around with more power.
@@thottydagod457 what viper? The one they don’t make anymore 😂
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.
Well bro we’re comparing a muscle car to a sports car
@@SrtLv4x literally, dodge is the last real muscle left
@@yelltona3928 zl1 and gt500
@@21exodus not muscle cars anymore more like track/sports cars. Both have lots of aero to make them track efficient
@@bigmac0573 respectfully disagree, two versions of both cars, would rather have more aero anyways so itll be easier for a shoebox to go 200 mph
Horsepower doesn’t matter if you can’t put the power down...
C8 launched like an AWD lol
Exactly, best real comment I have seen in a while, lately it’s all been bullshit hp numbers which I’m coining as youtube hps 🤣
Frl horrible launch in the hellcat in the beginning
New Corvette lookin goooood!
@@genesisD944 Yeah, Hellcat could launch better, but the Vette would still run away.
If the stock C8 is that fast,imaging how fast a twin-turbo tuned version or the ZO6 & ZR-1 variants will be!
Imagine what Hennessy are gonna do to this C8
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
Wait the C8s will be twin turbos????
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
Soo the zo6 and zr1 won’t even be fair to race against. The vette has leveled up 3 classes above muscle cars.
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.
That’s why it’s has and always will be a SPORTS car
It's up there with McLaren
@@trader-matt Hell no, the 720s and 570 destroy this
@@-SP. yea but the zo6 or the zr1. It may win but it'll be close
This video confirms what I initially thought about the C8. I need one !
Weight and aerodynamics matter.
well apparently not.
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.
I mean yes but that extra thousand pounds tho🤔
The C8 ZO6 is going to be NUTS!!
in the guts!
Talk to me about C8 ZR1 😨😂
Shipley Zimlich YEEESSSS
Since the Mustang GT500 has already beat it around the race track according to MotorTrend.
Bahaha!
@@twany442 you're laughing because the top of the line mustang beat a base model Corvette?
Charger may have lost, but that is one of the best sounding cars I’ve heard
Nothing sounds like Mustang tho
Player 1sounds like it has a Euro v8 doesn’t sound as good as a heavy V8 like the HEMI
It sounds like a girl lost her fingernail
You haven’t heard a ls1
Yeah 707 horsepower lost.... It’s okay to cry dude
I’m going to remind everybody once more that this is only the BASE MODEL this thing is going to kick so much ass
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
I agree but not fully, the launch to the hellcat was horrible
Aerodynamics are way better on the C8 too
@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.
The price on this cars need to be compared too this vette is more way expensive than the 🐯
That Corvette is going to be sick when they release the faster models. Omg
Burt Reynolds sicker*
Burt Reynolds zr1 will probably start at 170k lol
Already looks lit!
@@ItsBlurrs it'll most definitely be worth if this is what we're getting for 60-80k

I like the fact that you guys are putting that C8 up to some real competition.
Yeah but that charger could fit your girlfriend and two of her friends in it.
Yeah but you wouldn’t have a girlfriend because you’d be in a charger.
Yana Lasagna You sound pretty dumb
I'm gonna pull up on that Corvette and she's gonna be OUR girlfriend
Yana Lasagna lol. Ya, no one wants to drive a dodge!
@Keith Bardwell Well, bernie isn't going to get you a Corvette now.
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.
The c8 horrible.
Highkey Activated Go make your mom a sandwich.
@@jamesbond9873 He drives a Volvo. Lol
Highkey Activated you’re just mad
Forget about the ZR1, the naturally aspirated ZO6 version is even gonna be ridiculously fast. ZR1 and Zora will be in the hyper car category.
Who else scrolls all the way down for the comment section but forgets it's changed 😕
So stupid. Scrolling down was much better
@@avman2cl Agreed
@@avman2cl yea
Me!
Haha I uninstalled all updates
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.
I love this channel, just straight to the point. & one more thing, the c8 zo6 and zr1 are going to 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
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.
The Vette is much lighter, and has a great fast shifting auto. It's not Hp. Its power to weight ratios. Look at Motocycles. 150 hp.
Dual clutch what do you expect
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!
@@williamthornton5856 That pretty much has always been the Advantage for Vettes
That Vette chassis has soooooo much more potential. The hellcat is all ready overwhelmed.
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.
It's a 25 year old Mercedes chassis designed for 500hp max
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.
This is what I like - videos that skip all the talking and get right to the action. Neither of these cars needs any hype. Either you know, or you don't. Kudos.
Good video. Got straight to it with no talking
The funny part is the C8 is cheaper lol
BMW Royal your forget the seats 2 in the corvette and 5 in the Dodge Charger
Wise One forget that sailboat everyone and they mom has on rim taking that c8 everytime speed is definitely top 2 but looks definitely comes with into play
Wise One u forgot a 10x better interior, way better handling,, better exterior, better technology but I’m pretty sure those seats are worth it

Just like that
No thanking to sponsors or ads

Wish more channels does this
Great video .. no talking just str8 to the point !
The hellcat's design is like a mini bus slicing through the air
@isjus You bru chill😂😂
@isjus You people that don't have hellcats always criticize them. I'm just stating facts
Perfect isn't it
Daymmmmmmmmmmm burnnnnnn
Haha, the C8 is quickly becoming GM's best creation ever made 🤯, what a machine !
2000 Mercury Grand Marquis …those…are the same… thing…
2000 Mercury Grand Marquis I’m confused?? Are you referring to Pontiac or Plymouth? Those are the only other mopar cars and they haven’t been relevant in the muscle car game for decades
Love it, quick and straight to the point
Percentage of drivetrain loss is much less with the Vette also.
How so it’s a DCT
That's why, because it is a DCT!
Wow that’s crazy that the vet hung around
Did more than hang around lol 😅 it sat at the table had a drink and dinner with hellcat
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.
Damn just imagine what the future z06 and zr1 are gonna be capable of
Jason Holman ^^^
That’s a scary thought😯
those two engines being gassed at the same time made the most beautiful music ive ever heard
Best video simple straight to the point no talking no introduction Bam Bam there's the video This is how videos should be done
I still like that the speedometer in the hellcat shows every number.
Cool101 seems like dodge is the only company (including exotics) thst can make the speedometer accurate and show every number

Excited! Bought my 2021 charger hellcat widebody in April and put an order in for a C8. Won’t arrive till next year though.
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.
Yea, this went exactly how I imagined it would .
The Z51 is lethal from a dig, but with such great gear ratio and aerodynamics, it's monster on the top end too.
Thank you for bringing to the people what the people want 🙏🏾
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.
That C8 is a Big problem wow when you put turbo's on its over👋🤦
Same if you go all carbon panels on the hell cat 300 pounds less and that cat is gone
@@scat3926 you mean off the road and spinning out of control kind of gone, right?
Very nice test! I love the new mid engine corvette for weight stabilizing and for the big naturally aspirated engine!
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.
Chevy NAILED their 1st Run C8 !!!
No dude, the person who launched the hellcat did it horrible and shifted too early and you can see it
@@genesisD944 LoL stop crying
I mean the c8 was supposed to win the c8 is small as hell
@@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
@@Luke-cb3ly doubt be's crying over a youtube video lol
I love when companies try to out do the other giving us amazing cars year after year

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've always loved the big 3 especially the 60's models.The American muscle car wars continue and are a part of Americas blood gotta love it!
i agree. would slay everything.
Justin Moffett Well just imagine if they brought it back w/ a quad turbo V12 awd hybrid? God bless Allah! This car could beat up your car!
They all ready make an AWD mid engine Viper.... the Batmobile!!!! 😂😂😂😂😂😂 there you go stick to your comics!
It would have been heavy. Plus Viper has a long hood to fit the motor and shorter back.
And here we go!!
Even from a roll...495hp wasn’t losing NEARLY as much as I anticipated
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
I’m a vette guy all the way but I’m willing to admit the charger sounds amazing
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 !!!!

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

@@bigpotpoker1 Dude.. Come on.

That would make since if they did a rolling start first.
😍 I’m just in love with American muscle wars back and better than ever!!
That all red interior looks slick!!
Two beautiful American cars, at the opposite ends of approach to speed.
Hell yeah 🤟
The charger needs that AWD system from the Hellcat Jeep.
It wouldn’t be fun to drive anymore lol
Just adding more weight and parasitic drivetrain power loss, slowing it down once it has traction.
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
ImBrazy but it adds weight
Jeep is the only version that needs AWD. Rwd for a reason that it is a muscle car. Much like the manual takes I get annoyed with just no.
yo the corvette in the first race though. the acceleration of that thing is just insane.
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.
Chevrolet has really stepped up their game imagine the zr1/ z06 variant 😳
The fact that the 4-door car on an antique Mercedes platform can stick with the newest, hottest thing from General Mistake is impressive.
But needed over 200 more horsepower to do so. The scatpack could never touch the c8
Now this is a real everyday set up for most of us spirited driving and roll racing on the highway with imperfect road where drag radials can't rely on perfect conditions, great technology and well put together on c8 engineering to smoothly put power to the ground, I hope corvette decides to go awd with more power to minimize chassis twist
Mustangs...Cameros and Chargers are in one class...they are muscle cars...Corvettes are in a class higher...sports car...the new C8 is now being talked about as a super car 💯
*sniff sniff* I smell a new C8 Hennessy coming soon 👀
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!
what did i miss, the 4 door hemi still pulled the 2door supercar from chevrolet from a roll, give the charger some 315s and it should be a great race, both legit cars, saw a c8 in person, and while cruising recently in my hellcat, stunning supercar look and growl.
Mechanical advantage of mid/rear engine coupling with rear drive. Exactly why Porsche 911's have been surprising people for 55 years.
Wow I'm disappointed in the hellcat I mean 707 hp it should have killed that vette and its only the base c8 imagine a z06 or zr1??
You stupid.......
Charger hellcat 707hp can't beat a base c8 corvette
your forgetting the ZORA, which replaces the ZR1 as the top dog. 1000HP.
I think the weight of these hellcats is finally catching up to them
It's just too damn heavy
Power to weight who knew?
Lol
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
I love this responsible racing!

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.

Yeah, Slo-par are trash anyways.
No games no clickbate no talking! JUST PURE RACING! 👍
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.
