Undoubtedly not even remotely the same segment of cars, but still fun to watch. For anyone who's wondering on the tires on the Hellcat, they're 315 wide Nitto NT555R II.

I was thinking the exact same thing, my car Dynoed at 510 whp and 560tq weighs 4300 without a driver and I ran an 8.26 60-130

[@SpeedLabsMotorEnvy]

@Mod2Fame Thanks for the clarification, they definitely are good sports. Hellcat figures were provided by owner so we just ran with that. Although I feel like with proper traction (or maybe starting in 3rd), the Hellcat would be a mid 6 second car. Grabbing numbers from racing usually results in data that is a little slower than a dedicated hero run.

[@eptxm5664]

Was thinking the same thing about the power.

[@SunnySTX]

Hellcat is Cool! Makes tons of HP, sounds amazing, INCREDIBLE straight line...gotta love it for what it is. American muscle!! 570s IS a supercar, not because of HP (well yes in this tuned version), but the lateral G and handling due to weight savings and carbon shell for a frame, plus aero, plus doors, plus swag and far more rare/expensive is what makes it super. Both amazing cars, but one is super fun straight line and bravado, and one is just super :) I love your videos...you've made it to my top 5! PS Sunex tools have a great ratchet set :)

[@F90Spoolin]

Usually 1000hp hellcats do about high 5’s 60-130. Maybe he should’ve let the car shift itself, ZF8 works much better like that! Great video

[@fzr1000981]

As speeds go up (near 100 and beyond), weight difference is less of a factor in the rolling resistance equation while hp and aero dominate - that's what you're seeing here

[@GoGoggansGo]

No aero is the big difference which is also why the current gEN ford GT was giving demons and even 488 GTBs a run for there money from a roll

[@driv3n758]

That's not a "1000 horsepower" hellcat. I hate how hellcat owners automatically call it 1000hp just because it has a couple boltons. I have an actual FBO, 1000hp (900whp) hellcat and run 5.31 second 60-130mph and would decimate both cars in this video

[@ARDEN440i]

1000 horsepower in the title gets the views Hellcat owner was probably honest but they rounded it up

Great video, congrats! You deserve a ton of views. I'd pick the Mack because it's a real exotic, has great presence, and they drive really nicely too.

That is a lightly modded Hellcat as is the McLaren. There is Hellcat's running low 8's now in the quarter. Wish I could've run that car with my Redeye. A little more modded than that so it wouldn't have been a fair race. Great video BTW. Take care!!

[@CRMXL]

At 7:00 that's funny that you're calling out the fact that you understand that you're going to hear the typical BS rant in the comments😂. For the three runs that Hellcat look like a brick being boosted to hell especially with that lean when it hits the brakes. I mean at 7:30 you proved my point but I was more surprised at the McLaren went further than the Hellcat 🤣. I don't know about you man but I feel like your Alfa deserves a special episode after all these years.... and the fact that that was a pretty thick layer of dust on it 👌

[@SpeedLabsMotorEnvy]

@CRMXL Haha yeah. Sometimes I have to read through all sorts of BS in the comments and it amuses me. That blooper run was actually the end of the first run when both owners decided that the braking zone wasn’t important lol. I’m planning to bring the 124 Spider out again soon. Although I have to make sure all is well because a bolt broke off the downpipe to cross pipe connection. Might need to upgrade to a hi-flow downpipe or maybe catless.

[@CRMXL]

@@SpeedLabsMotorEnvy how did you break a bolt there? That kind of has me puzzled just because of a location. 😂

[@hubpaq]

the more the speed increases, the more the challenger is handicapped by its lack of aerodynamics,

[@noblevengeance312]

Alright here now. Better late than never. I’m actually very excited to see this though I already can see the mclaren winning because of how light it is and it’s jet powered not blower powered 😂 Where are you at? Is this like your basement? 😂 Nice haircut The 570 is honestly a great bang for buck car Destroyer grey, that’s a wicked name Oh shit 1,000hp. Scary I like how it’s tuned yet still has a rev limiter 😂 Lol hellcat burnout clip 570 was in manual for this run not auto. Driver is hitting the upshift paddle Nice win for the mclaren. Great result so far I think the 570S would have an even greater lead if the car was tuned for rolling antilag The hellcat is keeping up fairly well but not well enough I feel like if the hellcat revved a bit higher it could make more top end power. Oh wow it just took the cake on this one. Impressive but the mclaren has the top down 😂 Lol who was yelling at the end 😂 This was a cool video man, I can’t wait to see that next British hypercar on the channel 👀 thanks for the preview btw Lol it’s crazy how much taking down the top of the mclaren affected its times. It shows that aero is real and affects cars very heavily at these speeds. Cool video man, hope you get some time to relax and kick it with a few beers and a fishing rod. You’ve been grinding 💪

[@DanWangFilms]

@noble Vigilance Same here man. Sorry for the AWOL and late replies recently. Just been really busy with a lot of different things and thinking about restarting my film business. That would be a weird basement lol. This ain’t the bat cave. Destroyer Grey is the same color as the one I first drove like almost 2 years ago when I started the channel. He started the run in auto and you can hear the kick down from the gears, but he went with the paddles after that. The kickdown gave the Hellcat the slight jump I think. I had some spectators at the finish line who were really invested in the race so yeah haha. Yeah I find that aerodynamics plays a really huge role after about 110-120 in these faster cars. Thanks man, hopefully after Thanksgiving, I’ll have some more free time. Thanks for the comment man.

[@noblevengeance312]

@@DanWangFilms no worries bro, that sounds fun restarting the business, I can’t wait to see some more production from you. Lmao BATCAVE I do remember that one from a couple years back, not sure if I was subscribed at the time though Oh ok he started in auto gotcha. That makes sens Dude you got fans out there? That’s awesome haha And yeah aero is a huge factor. I’m shocked my passat did 150 honestly (yes we can actually do a 60-130 test if you insist when you come to Texas next year but it won’t be on a perfectly flat road and it’ll take a while 😂) Yeah man I understand you’re busy, no worries just focus on you and your family and all else you need to take care of for now, and just hit me up when you have some free Time.

[@H.S.H.M.]

Awesome vid!! I always wanted to know the 60-130mph times for a pulley tuned Hellcat

[@eichler721]

When power to weight is close it comes down to Transmission shift speed and aerodynamic efficiency and obviously the McLaren wins those areas. On a dragstrip the Hellcat would win.

[@SIRICKO]

Besides weight aerodynamics comes into play.

[@nikosn.7864]

mclaren driver short shifted the shit out of it

[@allwheelboost]

McLaren looked like it was short shifting at about 7K every time where as the redline is like 8100. Why? Tuned 570s should be deep into the 6s. Like low 6 possibly.

[@exotixfan]

The 570s platform makes most of its peak power at 7000-7500. So shifting after that theoretically shouldn't make it much faster. Although I do agree, a stock 570s is a low 7second car, so a tuned one should at least be around a second faster. I remember the 600LT he did was in the high 5s, which is essentially the same thing, just 300# lighter.

[@primeconst]

Exactly my thought, short shifted the whole time. Should have let it shift alone, in auto mode, not himself. I have a couple cars, one is a 2012 12c. It ran 5.32 sixty to one thirty w an ams tune and downpipes.

[@DoWorkExotics]

Exactly. Another sTrAiGHt LiNE PErFOrManCE video lol no question here.

[@mcwendel8066]

They always shift it themselves and they should just let the car do its own thing. Also i feel like a Hellcat is a muscle car not a sport car 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@loudernow49]

@@exotixfan peak power doesn’t matter. It depends on the torque to the wheels. Unless the torque absolutely falls off up top, more torque will be sent to the wheels by staying in a lower gear till redline vs upshifting and losing gear advantage

[@mariobotti1952]

You need 1500 hp on that US refrigerator to win

[@davidkidd1657]

I enjoyed the video! But I would rather know the wheel horsepower of the vehicals. Not crank estimates. Also at the end of the video I disagree because the price difference between the 2 you could have a 1200+wheel horsepower hellcat

[@detailcentral]

Good video as always.. They both had good runs. I would purchase the McLaren because it is more unique than the Hell cat.

[@jameswillard1]

Why in the world was he short shifting the Mclaren?? 🤔 They pull hard all the way to redline in every gear so nothing to be gained by shifting at 7,000RPM on a flat plane crank engine like that

[@noladronelife_6574]

The difference in my opinion is the lack of effective aerodynamics(too much wind drag) on the hell cat even the 570s recorded a drastically reduced finished time when the wind drag was increased

[@tanner2701]

Shortshifting hurt the mclaren, it was still pulling when it shifted early. Did anyone do tests to show the times when it was brought to redline?

[@benthedudethatraces]

just so you guys know at 900whp.Hellcat charger(heavier than challenger) I put down ~5.4 second 60-130 on a texas summer day at full weight. So the hellcat in the video was either spinning @60mph or not 1000hp.
