Couldn't tell anything from that race and those two goons driving.

Also why is this in the Z06 forum?

That hellcat is a heavy pig. But but but that Stingray is faster than the Z06 because of no heat soak I kid, I kid!

For the same reason why another member is posting Viper videos here.

And it's a duplicate of a thread started less than an hour before this one.

Personally, I couldn't care less how my C7 performs compared to the Hellcat. Two entirely different cars for two entirely different purposes.

Comparing apples to oranges.... The hellcats nothing more than a hopped up Winnebago. If you want a car that ***** and gits... C7 pro-charged,ARH,METH...695hp, little to no heat soak.... Did I mention 1000# less.

Going in a straight line for a 1/4 mile is a joke. The Corvette is a race track car not a dragster.

Have you seen a hellcat challenger? that car is so plasticky....

We did consider the hellcat charger because it has ton of power, and 4 doors out of a decent size car.

However the interior reminds me of my police car. a utility vehicle... lol

In the USAF we had a saying that applies here - with enough thrust a pig can fly.

No surprise that the Hellcat passes the C7 towards the end of the 1/4 mile - that's what all the extra HP will do for you. But that's in a straight line and with the base C7. Will be interesting to see what the Hellcat does against a Z06.

Always somebody is faster. Well past that stage in my life where I have to measure man parts for braggin' rights or societal relevance

I am happy to see there is such a variety of nice muscle out there to choose from. Never thought we'd be revisiting the good ole' 60's but apparently we are with faster cars and better MPG than ever.

Buy whatever makes you happy

I like these kinsd of threads. I think these comparisons are good, so long as we keep perspective. My take away is this confirms why I didn't choose a Hellcat over the Vette, I've had fast cars that could go staight, now I can corner too lol
