A GMC Yukon Denali XL with a supercharged 6.2 making 650hp doing a burnout is one of the most American things you can do

[@MrJbmcgary]

6:23 RIP headphone users!

[@CG_86]

Hey look the challenger found something in its weight class 😂😂😂

[@hirevinrs4]

Yukon jumped the light? Hellcat was sleeping behind the wheel?

[@thee90kid]

6:22 RIP earphone users

[@vladaad]

6:45 the race starts

[@pascalmpower7944]

Pretty awesome. 6000lbs 0-60 in 4.7s

[@nbowling10trio]

you can beat a lot of cars you normally couldn't when you jump the gun

[@thrillbylg]

ABOUT A WEEK AGO!

[@HennesseyPerformanceF5]

Give or take a month. Sorry we got delayed on video production over the holidays!

[@thrillbylg]

Lol no I'm not mad I was making a song joke, I love cars, dad just bought a 2014 Dodge Durango R/T I'd live for you guys to make a lot for that

[@fukjabi]

hpedesign he was referring to lyrics from a song when you said about a week ago haha

[@STERACE]

Good one lol

[@Musicman777ify]

Kids we're late for soccer practice...

[@YFZMoto]

Nah he made just in time with 100 HP to Spare :)

[@ursofakingdummb]

The Hellcat fell asleep at the line....

[@thrillbylg]

I wish Hennessy made a kit for the new Dodge Durango R/T, my dad just bought one and it's amazing, but if you added a upgraded intake and a supercharger would be sick, please make something for it!

[@e46dap]

Not to promote other companies on Henessey's channel, but a Ripp Superchargers makes kits for chrysler/srt products. Look them up and see if you can get a kit from them. (And p.s. They don't cost that much) :D

[@stevedriver6884]

Show the end of the video! We all know the Hellcat wins, just show it. It's still an impressive truck.

[@MichaelD3Santa]

Slam 1000hp in that Yukon. That would be awesome!

[@406_chevelle8]

Too weak, lets try 2,000.

[@RealtimeReviews613]

I wish hpe would work on the hellcats and get that power up even more and cut the weight! That would INSANE!!!!

[@e46dap]

Nonono 707 is plenty. Cutting weight sure, but no need to add more power.

[@boostamante64]

I believe he explained in a past video that the dodge ecu was to finicky, so they are not working on dodge vehicles.

[@camaro572rr]

Thats 6000lbs vs 4100lbs I think the denali did a great job!! stop with your whining!!

[@hesayad1055]

*4450lbs

[@keithwilson1059]

Looks like you guys can modify just about anything. What a passion, great job. I saw what you did to the Corvette, Camaro and Mustang. Any plans for the Hellcat Challenger or 392 Challenger?

[@cawley345]

If only Dodge offered a AWD charger and challenger Hellcat

[@dogcrick]

The HPE Denali is a great package. John you are quite the inspiration buddy. Love seeing guys build from passion.

[@jasonchauhan3041]

Lol gas mileage on the denali "one hi-way, zero city" ....gotta love the simpsons

[@living_life1]

As an owner of a suburban that's badass!

[@JarrodAllenSmith]

With the AC running XD

[@fatalfriend]

6:43 save time guys...

[@prettyboy1970]

Mr. Hennessey, you're a giant among mortals. Keep doin your thang, sir.

[@victorrodriguez8917]

Question ! would this super charge work also on the 5.3 ?? regular yukon

[@rahbmoravec9824]

Nothing will ever beat that sound

[@pauljr.harrington1905]

This is definitely professional grade.

[@TheGMlover1]

Damn that thing gets down the road I want one :)

[@siam479]

Im a really big Dodge Challenger Hellcat fan but if that yukon was more lighter i might have to admit it but the yukon would smoke the Hellcat

[@jayc9961]

clearly jumped the light Great vid! That is a rhino going 110 down the drag

[@know1tv]

WOW!!! I wonder what my 2002 Malibu would be like if it were tuned like this (with SuperCharger)

[@ldwayne1953]

That's a Badazz truck 665 horses damn

[@dsterling4019]

Hellcat walked his ass tho after he jumped the light

[@itsatekiar9750]

does increasing the horsepower increase the towing capacity?

[@kingmaster634]

you and me mr hennessey could be really good friends

[@arkadiyznamenskiy6892]

hennessey impala?

[@LETHALGAMESTAR]

dam that thing must need some massive breaks to stop it LoL The ultimate dadmobile i guess...

[@marc1093280]

I would personally take the Challenger Hellcat.

[@jthrill2262]

Il take both one for the hoes and the other one to cruze around town what you think

[@2004sl]

Impressive for a vehicle with such mass.

[@peruprofundodance]

Mach 5 @ 4:10

[@krankensteinrocks]

The fact that its even a close race is an embarrassment for the hellcat! HELLCATS ARE A JOKE

[@travisberry4777]

The gmc jumped and still lost

[@bdg8967]

this is very cool, just would wonder what would this GMC do with that Hennessey upgrade and a 502 CI

[@RS-io6vm]

more than meets the eye

[@GeraldDayawon]

So, hennessey is turning into, lets see how much power we can make, in the most out of the way vehicles?

[@ITRIEDEL]

I'm super curious if anyone has taken their Denali to HPE to have it upgraded. Someone had to have done it... I just want to know, why.

[@brushless55]

Very nice, but how about the new 2015 BMW X5M ?? said to do 0-60 in about 4.0 - 4.2sec

[@stevesai1126]

hpedesign i bet john hennessey's office chair does 10's

[@2500burb]

Heck yea! good job John... Our 11 and 15 are stock :( i did take the 78mm turbo left over from the supra and put it on the suburban with the 8.1L it was a lot of damn fun! we got it in the 4 sec range to 60 as well, but with 35" tire and almost 10,000 lbs the trans, transfercase, converter, well pretty much everthing behind the motor was not happy lol... Ill e mail to see what the price of this package is.

[@npsit1]

You might want to look into Amsoil. Pennzoil is just about the worst "oil" you could put into anything mechanical.

[@TimothyWilliams-ce3rf]

Can you put these in production plz!!I want one

[@twissted1277]

That is very impressive. Now if you can do that and keep the groceries in the bags.

[@mattr7118]

6:23 RIP headphone users

[@wesm353]

that early RIP though. Nice prefire

[@SharrodCurry]

Wonder what a Supercharged 2015 SRT Jeep would do..

[@salvador62633]

Thats bad ass

[@strokedfox6819]

That Hennessy supercharger isn't stock is it?

[@smitty261974]

In know way are they trying to make the Hellcat look bad, just plain ole advertisement. Love your video's Mr. Hennessey keep them coming.

[@CALLWILLIE100]

lets see your Hennessey Mustang vs the Hellcat

[@Mr_poopypants69]

i don't understand why you guys keep trying to compare everything to the hellcat and making it look bad? whats the beef.

[@e46dap]

If anything, they probably use brembos.

[@boostamante64]

I would say that they compare it to the hellcat due to the fact that it has one of the most powerful if not the most powerful engines in a domestic car. They just use it as a baseline. I don't think they are making it look bad, if anything, they are showing that they to can make their own cars just as, if not more powerful.

[@jimmyc.4208]

Wear your headphones during the burnout!!!! Sweeeeeet!

[@dor1tomcswagger69]

why everytime I watch vids from Hennessy it's always GM products I want to see something different for once

[@KrisprzGarage]

That's a fast Denali!

[@donnanhuggler8451]

Gee? Did the hellcat win? 😂

[@MRREALTALK313]

Does this come stock with that much horsepower

[@blumac9801]

this guy acts like he's starting a plane or something.. lol

[@patrickwumbo6890]

Hellcat loses to an SUV. Again. Most overrated car in all of automotive history.

[@Sellit73]

Holy shit that thing is quick!

[@cezar88is]

Not bad ! But bmw x5m can beat it without any problems ;)

[@cezar88is]

doesn tmatter how big it is , More important is how heavy it is and powerfull

[@afromaster1000]

Cezar W big = heavy , way more vehicle than that euro trash and would probably beat it too .............

[@malcolmmcintosh1462]

how about a 2016 ss 4door super charge sedan

[@thatboyrick1]

Wait the Denali has 665 Hp!? HP numbers are increasing like crazy

[@brendonm.edwards9040]

Is this racing strip in Texas ?

[@jeffjones5053]

What can it do pulling a trailer?

[@SOBaseball]

What’s that red light mean?

[@MohCars_]

IN WHAT WORLD DO WE LIVE IN THAT A 6000 LBS SUV WILL DO A BURNOUT OMG!!!!!

[@dor1tomcswagger69]

but either than that great work

[@LexLeo656]

So who won?

[@IWreck92]

What engine is in those? 6.0? 6.2?

[@eloygonzalezjr]

One sick Denali

[@Gembelindo]

Thats not just any Denali, its the Redstone Denali

[@jorgeadrianlopez2463]

I have a yukon denali 2016 xl , how much does it cost to get that done?

[@sarapopham5125]

You should put it next to a qx80

[@GmoneyStylez]

That burnout tho. Rip headphone listener's.

[@eng0054]

The hellcat had a slow launch but the 707 HP vs 665hp made the hellcat catch the denali down the strip to win

[@pecanthejelly5854]

Is the Denali a 6.2 or 5.3?

[@sithlordsoup]

Lol dude chillin in the side mirror

[@LBibbs]

that boy is fast!!!

[@codename4777]

FINALLY!!! The Fat-cat gets raced against a vehicle that's close to its weight !

[@sneeeaksamurai]

hell yeeeeeeeeah ... what about the short one I think will be awesome 0 to 60 in just 4 sec wow

[@Dannickized]

4:10 SWOOOOOOOOOSH

[@BlakesWrld]

I buy one in black

[@Seriousmods]

Two questions: times on the Hellcat and the Yukon and also do you guys upgrade the braking system for these turbocharged vehicles?

[@DIYAmateurHour]

They're supercharged.

[@justinninke6405]

Guessing the 650HP is at the crank?

[@jmanjoshua1516]

My 02 avalanche weighs 6,800 lbs.... That Yukon is over 6,000 lbs

[@ronbrown4473]

Nice, but the real question is when are you going to work your magic on a hellcat..?

[@MrLalasd]

I had this suv for a week and the leg room is awful. Also it feels like I am climbing a mountain get in ... but a minivan has more ground clearance ...

[@wrestlerkid99]

which vbox are you using ?

[@behems007]

This or the VelociRaptor?

[@koojyqlotaibib6091]

About a week ago!

[@Meat550]

Shit that big ass tank moves lol
