2022 BMW M5 CS vs Dodge Charger Hellcat Redeye // DRAG RACE, ROLL RACE & LAP TIMES

The 2022 BMW M5 CS ($170,800 CAD as specced, ~$143,000 USD) and the 2021 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat Redeye Widebody ($116,685 CAD as specced, ~$89,735 USD as specced) are two of the most powerful sedans to ever reach the market. Are they different in price? Yes. But are they different in experience? Also yes. However they do share the unique ability of providing unending thrills and tire-shredding excitement while carrying a car full of people. Thomas and James are excited to take these four door super sedans onto the drag strip and the track to see how capable they really are. Watch to find out what happens! SUBSCRIBE!!!

[@Holmesson]

@@pommerose8236 I love German cars, but they're not all superior to the Americans. There are different versions of the Mustang and Camaro to meet or exceed the capabilities of countless German performance cars at a fraction of the cost of their direct competition. Their chassis and powertrains have come a long, long way. Furthermore, the Corvette has always been a bargain performance machine that has gone toe-to-toe with its foreign competition. There was also the Viper, until recently. Let us also not forget that Tesla is an American company, and they paved the way for their foreign EV competition - which are still way more expensive, if we're to find competitors that can match the Teslas' power and acceleration figures. Oh, by the way, not sure if you knew this but the Charger / Challenger / Chrysler 300 all owe their existence to Mercedes-Benz for supplying the base platform on-which these machines are built. The chassis has come a long way and gone through countless changes over the decades, but it started life in Germany.

[@Hype679]

@@panelsm7933 Also, the simple fact is, the crossplane setup and the "hot V" turbocharging setup the M5 runs is a different ballgame as opposed to the more typical supercharging arrangement run by the competition. The transmissions are both ZF (8hp70, M5s), (8hp90, Hellcats) 8 speeds. Everybody uses them anymore. That part's not so special. So it boils down to mainly tuning and gear ratios there. The reason the M5 beats the Hellcat boils down to the weight disadvantage and the better traction with the M5's AWD/RWD setup. I love Hellcats, but they don't need extra power, they need suspension upgrades. Smoky burnouts are fun, but you need to be able to get the car to hook.
