[@JAYEDHHP]

@@cervr1 disagree with you. Your perception is yours to have. The Redeye is a badboy. I can't wait to see hp tuners or diablosport on this thing.

[@cervr1]

@@JAYEDHHP, though the C8 has a lot less horsepower than the Hellcat (490 or 495 vs. 717), it's still substantially faster to 60, and faster in the 1/4 mile. Similarly, the Z06 (670 hp) is expected to be faster to 60 than the Hellcat Redeye (797) or the Hellcat Super Stock (807).

Is he racing that Z06 before the 500 miles break-in period? He is not getting full potential.. Chevrolet did that to all C8's where it's sort of detuned before 500 miles.. full potential is after 500 miles.

[@meatball6930]

So are Hellcats. I own 3 hellcats vehicles and i order them far away so i can get those miles on very quickly when i get it. Redeye chargers destroy the Z06. They catch quickly and pass. We’ve raced them many times on back country roads.

[@bananaramainpajams]

​@@meatball6930 false.

[@SquireSCA]

@@meatball6930 The Hellcats do ok on a prepped surface with lowered pressures, etc... At a stoplight on a 70 degree day, they don't hook up and a bone stock base model C8 destroys them off the line...

[@GambitC8]

Why do you say false? Thats whats in my manual and the car automatically switched at 500 miles. ​@bananaramainpajams

[@GambitC8]

@meatball6930 the top end on the hellcats is just stupid. I had one and it was endless power. It just sucked on the streets with no grip under like 80mph. Although 4 doors and a big ass trunk was very nice.

[@vettesweetnos]

Cool video. I own both, my '23 Z06 is a 3LZ htc in rapid blue with tension blue guts, carbon ceramic brakes and other goodies. My '21 Charger Redeye is indigo blue with black interior and awe exhaust. My Z06 is faster on the streets in all situations, I've never had both at the track though. Charger manages to be a bit more comfortable and also more scary at the same time. The Z06 top down is one of the most amazing cars period. The only other htc cars under a million is certain Ferrari and McLaren models.

the c8 on street tires. No way you would beat him on radials. Having said that, you had a better 60ft, better 1/8 better 1/4, better mph in the 1/4. That 1 mph in the 1/8th was too much to overcome. This is why I love drag racing. Paper says you should have e won. It’s also a great example of why dyno numbers don’t matter.

[@chrismurphy7199]

Yeah, it's gonna be a little faster, but it is not gonna be naturally aspirated or that flat plane crank. Engineers at the Corvette Museum bash confirmed to me today that it will not be a flat plane crank like the Z06. So, that's the only game in town for that sound and response. I would not pay more for a standard C8 with a supercharger/turbo. You can build them WAY cheaper than the price difference. I think it's a mistake by GM personally, to lose that Z06 character in the ZR1, but like I said, I'm sure it will be a faster and to some, that's enough

[@gregcaruana2879]

@@chrismurphy7199 I didn't expect them getting more out of na. Zo6 pretty much maxed that out. Will suck not being flat plane crank though. Sounds amazing. You could have forced induction any Vette and make it faster than zo6 or zr1.

[@cll1639]

Very equal in performance, done 2 different ways. One relies on top end power; the other, brutal lower-rpm torque. I owned a HC Redeye Charger WB for 2 years and indeed, from 4th gear on where tire spin is no longer a factor, it's an absolute beast as the video shows. But it's also a beast to launch on the stock 305 rubber. The Z06 by its design is much better balanced and along with its 1000 pound weight advantage, just plain boogies out of the gate. I love 'em both, and I thoroughly enjoyed the narration in this video. Fair and balanced, as they say.
