I wouldn't call it "annihilation" but that's one fast kitty cat.

in a straight line, HP and weight almost always win.
Now, throw both of them on a course track and I'm sure the c7 will win.

From the youtube comments, apparently the Z06 destroyed the Hellcat at the 1/4 mile track (where these clowns should have been in the first place). In my book, that makes the Hellcat the new MKIV Supra. "Let's race from a roll brah".

Yeah. Hellcat shines at roll racing, once the heavy thing gets moving.
The same cars lined up at the strip, the Z won there. Hellcat consistently trapped lower all day. |

http://www.corvetteforum.com/forums/...shoot-out.html Completely, showroom stock cars at the strip (minus 2 guys bringing DRs). They didn't get the best times but showed consistency in trap speed and ETs. Track prep wasn't great but it wasn't the best weather either. I don't see how 4500lbs with 707HP beat 3500lbs with 650 HP. Yes, the Vette loses steam around 130 or so but the Hellcat pulled from the get go. And rumors are saying a private owner just took his Hellcat to the mid 10 range with DRs.....but no video as of yet. |

Looks like they waited for a nice clear stretch of road, they did not pass anyone or come up behind anyone. Nobody was at risk from what the video showed.

Love how the jeep rides his ass then vanishes in the first pull.

No, it was a C7 Z06. Look at the side vent (or whatever you want to call it) on the front fenders. The C7 Z06 vent is way bigger than the Stingray.
The Z06 doesn't have much steam up top considering the Aero effects and granny ECU GM put in it. But the car does perform very, very well on the road course. It is funny reading how much hate people are giving to the car because it can't go fast in a straight line and look over its out standing handling attributes. But if it were to dominate in the straight line then everyone would be like, well it can't handle for crap because its RWD and American made...... All I want to see is a stock C7 Z06 with only a tune to get rid of the GM granny tune and see how it performs on roll runs. |

I was going to say "In before someone gets their pants in a twist over roll racing on a public stretch" BUT, looks like someone got self-righteous over that already.
Both of these cars are absolutely amazing, but purposed differently. Hellcat ought to blow away most anything from a roll! Thanks for posting the vid!

pulled a car or two then the vette lets off. Hellcat is fast! Would rather have the vette no questions.

Why you may ask? Hellcat is 4500 lbs and the C7 Z06 is around 3500 lbs. So even though the Hellcat has 57 more HP the 1000 lbs advantage the Z06 has should make it faster but obviously, that wasn't the case here. It pulled like any other car that has 57 more BHP than another car. BTW, I'd love to have a Charger Hellcat. |

GM also said that after 500 miles or 1000, I don't remember, the car will be "unlocked" and the full potential will be unleashed. Though that doesn't seem to hold true right now. |
