Hellcat vs C8 Corvette - drag racing

Cool race,but if you do not take into account other races involving Corvette (namely C6 and C7), then you get an equal score of 3:3. Who agrees with this?

[@edwmedeiros]

they’re only 6 hellcats rest are scat packs. Of those 6 races they’re only 2 c8’s. You have hellcats scat packs stingrays and z06’s in 9 races.

[@greenrush4313]

[@juststreetracing]

That corvette took OFF holy smokes, but that Hellcat is something else

[@johnharrier1408]

So basically if it is AC7, it'll get beat by a supercharged Beast. But if it's a c eight with a mid engine, it will likely get beat except for the first race and that was close until the very end. We also don't know which one of these was a regular hellcat at which home was a red eye. If it's a red eye, it has 80 more horsepower

Awesome dragrace

[@garywilson7992]

As fast as some of these cars are, and they are, but I was looking at some old drag strip records from back in 1967, 68 & 69, and there were some pretty fast 1/4 mile times from factory L-88 Corvettes. And then there were muscle car auto dealers and individuals back then who had put the L-88 in Camaro’s, and the drag strip records on average, showed that they turned in the low 11s, but a few got into the mid to high 10s. The fastest I seen was in 1967 at the Fremont dragstrip outside of San Francisco, where a 1967 L-88 Corvette, turned in the 10:30s all afternoon. But of course they would’ve all had a low ratio rear end, a good pair of slicks and headers, and wouldn’t have been with street tires. And to give a little perspective, they would’ve been competitive with today’s Hell Cats, and 1967 was 57 years ago from 2024, and that would be like a car from 1910 that was still competitive with a 1967 L-88 Vett, and would still be competitive with today’s Hellcat’s.

[@normmaes3218]

Thanks for the persective, thats incredible, as if not much advancement since 67

[@angusbauman7887]

60s was the highpoint of pure automotive design. Full stop!

[@garywilson7992]

@@normmaes3218 and I didn’t mention, that these engines were all motor, with no blowers or superchargers, there pretty much the same thing, other than a supercharger is typically mounted on the front of the vehicle, belt driven and piped to the manifold, while a blower is mounted directly on top of the manifold. And back in the day, they separated cars that had blowers from carbureted and fuel injected engines, because it wasn’t considered a fair race, and so that’s another disadvantage when comparing old school engines with today’s supercharged muscle cars, let’s strap on a blower, to an already 550+ hp 55 to 57 years old engine, and then let’s have a race with a late model Hellcat.

[@edwmedeiros]

It’s like the 1960s all over again with epa regulations. Now that we have factory muscle cars before any modifications that can run 8 to 9 second quarter miles the government is legislating them out of existence again. It’s going to be the 1970s again but worse.

[@edwmedeiros]

@@garywilson7992 that’s crazy that a 57 year old Corvette engine is faster than anything Chevy builds today. It’s as if Chevy doesn’t know how to build muscle cars anymore. They’ve declined instead of advancing.

I like the traditional Long-Hood Corvettes (C7s, C6s on back).

@cross6588 My point is that Chevy should start making the C8 Corvettes with 800 to 1,000 H.P. Dodge was making the Hellcats with 800+ H.P., so why can't Chevy do the same for the C8 Corvettes??
