"By about 105 mph, the Hellcat and Vette are door to door. By 110, he’s pulled in front. At 120 the Hellcat is walking away. Then we hit the brakes. Our unscientific conclusion: The Vette launches harder off the line, but the Hellcat will inexorably reel it in if you give it enough runway. Above 100 mph, the Dodge eats the Vette alive"

Looks like the Vette isn't a top of the line ZO6. Looks like a fun test though. Not many Hellcat owners will ever get to open them up. LOL

It wasn't a ZO6. It was a regular Corvette. The Z06 is 650 hp. The 'Vette in the test was a ZR1, about 200 HP less than the Z06.

The power to weight ratio of the z06 is much closer to the Hellcat's p:w ratio, and would make a terrific match up.

Gotta make a correction there. The ZR1 was part of the C6 models (last gen) and made 638HP. What your looking at is a standard 460HP (give or take a few HP) C7.



Now based on the video it would seem as though the standard did pretty well considering the ~247HP difference, just think of what the actual Z06 650HP will do. Honestly I think the Z06 would eat that Hellcat alive even with the HP difference. That and the two cars are not even in the same category, just sayin.

You're right.

Still, for a 4 door sedan, the Hell cat is a monster. The dealership network seems to be doing it's best to capitalize on it, though, and that alone is going to limit who gets them, especially since they are presently going to as much as 3 times their MSRP.

btw, Z06's aren't cheap, either.

You got that right...

true enough- some people don't like the looks of the Challengers, while the vette is just plain hideous.

That Vette is gorgeous... WOW. Now i want one of them instead of a new challenger.

In a more perfect world all roads would be straight

according to the rumors i've heard, when SRT was developing/testing the hellcat motor, they actually got 850hp at one point. it was detuned so that it would meet emissions

here's one someone just picked up today. he made special arrangements to get it right as they unloaded it from the rail car. he didnt want anyone else test driving it lol.

Can't wait to see the "goofs" at the track that can't get those things to hook and get beat by some 15 second cars
