I have seen the opposite done as well where they tried to compare the Camaro Exorcist special edition 1000hp to base Hellcat. That wouldn't make sense. Again, love my Challengers, and I don't consider the Cadillac a muscle car, but a luxury car with performance ability. Challenger, in my own opinion, is a true muscle car in today's times. Besides, widebody gives mire wind resistance. I would choose the regular bidy red eye or super stock.

Great races. I'm a Hellcat guy myself but it seemed the big difference between the two was the transmission..with the admittedly excellent 10 speed auto option I think the Caddy would be just as quick as the Hellcat..both are great cars. Long live the V8's!

When it comes to American cars they never get the coverage they deserve. Why do you keep seeing videos of the CT5 V BLACKWING drag racing even though it was clearly made for the track? Its clearly faster than the very best car BMW has ever made (M5 CS) and yet no direct comparisons anywhere to be found. Its like they refuse to give the Cadillac the props deserved and that is why I was done with car reviewers a long time ago.

[@thiosemicarbizidebenzoylal2921]

@@MrSupersaiyangoku General Motors cars are TABOO because usually they are cheaper. The 6th gen Camaro chassis is better than European 3 series rivals and people dont even mention it other than Motortrend. What is even funnier is the C8 Stingray is FAR beyond ANY 458 variant ever produced as a quality product and the 458s continue to sell for hilarious prices. If you put a 458 next to a C8 Stingray and ask what is the better performance car, 90% of people will pick the Ferrari. How do you sell sports cars if your rival has better performance but cost half the price or less?

I dont own any of these 2 cars raced in this video, or have a favorite, i like both cars. Its not a surprise that the car with drag tires, won the drag race, and the 1st roll race @ 32mph roll ( cadillac was probably still spinning @ that lower speed )? Also, sam kept driving better, and better as he got more runs. We all know, if the cadillac had the 10speed automatic it would even be quicker. Now imagine if the cadillac had the drag tires, and the hellcat had the stock street tires, how do you think that would turn out? Then if the cadillac had drag tires, and the 10speed automatic, vs hellcat with the stock street tires! No bashing, or hate here, i try to be as unbiased as possible. Hope you have a great day!?

Not 50lbs more like 4586lbs vs 4429lbs as of the 2020 models. Mines older being a 16 challenger and it weighs 4448lbs so minor changes have happened over the years in weight surprisingly. Danes seems to be middle ground of challengers 18 or 17 or 19 year.
