Default C7 Z06 vs. Hellcat - video

Thought the z put up a good fight, the title of the vid is ******** IMO.

Watch the Z06's rear wheels. He is spinning tires each time.

It sure looked like it spun hard on that last run. I would guess the automatic in the HC hits the tires much softer so it hooks those skinny tires from a roll.

I see it but I still don't believe it. Stage 1 too.

That's the C7Z that ran the 10.93 in DRs earlier that day?

Looks legit to me.

You can see how fast these two cars left other cars behind them, except unfortunately the hellcat is faster

Here is the explanation of the race from the Vette driver.

We did three rolls between 45-50 mph and he honked on all of them. On each run I spun the tires and went sideways when I smashed the throttle in second gear. That is why he got the jump on me every time. The first time I stopped at around 85 mph and around 100-110mph the next two races. They wanted to find an empty road somewhere for some dig runs but I didn't want to because it would've been even less traction than when I raced him at the strip. The passenger also recorded that run where I beat him by at least 1 sec. If they put up the one where he "beat" me on the highway then I also hope they put the one of when I raced him heads up on the strip.
I think my traction was so bad even in 2nd because I had taken off the drag radials and put the cold stockers back on for the ride home.
I had a feeling they were going to be talking about it even after I told them that I lost traction on each run but it is what it is.

We really supposed to believe 707hp on 275's didn't have traction problems in second gear?

Then the highway had a 90 degree turn, and the Vette put 20 bus lengths coming out of the apex. Oh dang, they forgot to show that part of the vid?! WTF

? is the HC an auto? or manual? If an auto we need to wait for an auto C7. Truly don't care since the HC is a drag car and the Z is a track car. Apples and oranges

You or your buddy or whoever made this video should be ASHAMED of themselves for posting a half truth! Here's the WHOLE truth straight from the Z06 owner:
We did three rolls between 45-50 mph and he honked on all of them. On each run I spun the tires and went sideways when I smashed the throttle in second gear. That is why he got the jump on me every time. The first time I stopped at around 85 mph and around 100-110mph the next two races.
