Comparing the Hellcat to a Grand Sport is pointless. 2 totally different types of cars.

[@nelsonquinnell7656]

Owned both. 2015 Hellcat Challenger Manual, and a 2016 C7 Z06 Manual with the Z07 package. The Z06 is by far the superior car in terms of performance and "wow factor", but for most people that aren't going to spend every weekend at the racetrack, the Hellcat is the car to have for a bad ass daily driver.

[@jeffk464]

Actually if I wanted a car that did what you said in a similar package I would get the Camaro.

[@alcrats]

Bro, there's a reason why they didn't compare the Hellcat to the Camaro, you can't compare the most powerful American muscle car to just any car.

[@jeffk464]

Yeah, guess I'm not a fan of muscle cars. I think things like power, suspension, brakes, and tires, should all be in balance.

[@vernonprice5986]

"most powerful" doesn't indicate which car is faster. Weight is a factor. The Z06 has less power than the hellcat, but the Z06 beats the hellcat's ass in a straight line, because it weighs about 1,000 lbs less. And the Camaro ZL1 has 640 HP and also weighs a lot less than the hellcat. So the ZL1 is very likely as fast or even faster than the hellcat, but it DEFINITELY out-handles the hellcat and is a much better performance car.

[@alcrats]

Well its a good thing there's youtube to actually prove how wrong u are, check zo6 vs hellcat and zl1 vs hellcat.

[@Voodoo8648]

Great channel. Great comparison, wildly entertaining. This needs MORE VIEWS!

[@xevaliesnider1206]

the only thing i learned it that dodge can fit a body in the trunk.......

The non convertible corvettes actually have a fair bit of trunk space.

[@dreadnoughtprime6301]

I actually did a poll once among some of my fellow students at my college and another college in the area. More people preferred the Corvette as far as looks and thought the "707" horsepower in the Hellcat was a bad idea. A bit paraphrased, but the point stands.

[@1mlb704]

Cool comparison, very entertaining video. A+ TFL

[@Mmyers1177]

How do you like the Grand Prix? My 1999 GTP still going strong 107,700 miles on it with zero rust in great condition

[@novaman3509]

For the $10,000 less you spend on the Hellcat, you can get giant fat wheels and tires, and a new pulley that'll up your boost and make your car 900+ horsepower, and still have some extra money to spend on a set of headers and a full exhaust.

[@coryr9938]

NovaMan 350 1: those mods would void the warranty and decrease the already bad reliability of the dodge. 2: you can't fit any larger wheels in the wells of the dodge.

[@novaman3509]

Cory R 1: Anyone who modifies their ride doesn't give a shit about warranties. The Challenger has zero reliability issues. 2: Yes, you can fit larger tires in the wheels wells. Anything up to 315's on the stock wheels. 3: pull your head out of your ass.

[@coryr9938]

NovaMan 350 Why wouldn't Dodge put bigger tires on it then, they would obviously be dumbasses. We're not looking at modded vehicles anyway, we're comparing these two stock vehicles. When you look at the Dodge, all you get is a ton of power, compared to the Vette that has good power, awesome handling, and good overall value.

[@ajhayden3307]

@@coryr9938 the dodge challenger can still be handled around corners unless you are going over 55 mph and hit the corner hard this isn't the 70's and 80's the challenger handles better than most cars on the road, I've seen videos of these cars on tracks and they handle pretty decent for the type of car they are, it depends on the driver.

[@camaro_kyle6851]

the vette. I've liked the since day one. and the way the hood opens makes it look exotic

[@housepianist]

Straight line performance and horsepower isn't everything. Give me a car that can handle extremely well AND is very fast yet comfortable as a touring car, the Vette will be my choice. And it looks better! But you WILL save $10,000 by getting the Hellcat which can be use to buy new tires from time to time. Vette for the win.

[@TomazHilton]

But then you have the advantage of having a Coupe that can seat 4 Adults and a baby, 16.5Cu. Ft of Trunk space. the Tire Argument is only for if you drive like you stole it. Challenger ADR will fix that Argument. ( will be Sold with 2 Sets of Drag Radials)

[@TomazHilton]

***** that's subjective and only owners know how good or bad these cars are but this is the internet, 100 lies can become a fact. as the video said, 3200 miles in 12 mths of Track use and not a problem was reported for the hellcat.

[@michaelpincavitch6525]

Randall Collins that's your opinion. the challenger is more comfortable to travel and smoother ride. and most people do race in a straight line ! plus I can take more than one passenger and still go super fast

[@TomazHilton]

Michael Pincavitch correct Whether it's at the strip or street. There are more drag strips than road courses in the US lol

[@housepianist]

Tomaz Hilton That's fine. It is my opinion. If I were single and had to choose between these cars, the Vette would still be my choice. Even with my family and the convenience of four doors and a trunk, I still wouldn't drive a Hellcat. Roman loves it because it's always pissed off and angry and if that's what you want for your family hauler, be my guess. I tend to like some degree of civility with my car no matter what. And be honest - you don't buy a Hellcat for its convenience and family capabilities. You buy it because of what it is, a screaming 700+ horsepower, bragging rights machine with all the sophistication of a school bus. But like Roman said, you forget that when you put the power down. And those who like this car or owns one - you know this. And that's perfectly fine. Nothing wrong with that. I just tend to like style and refinement with my speed and I'll be glad to spend more for it. Even the 2017 Dodge Viper is a much better track car for drag and circuit racing than what the Hellcat could ever be. For extra money, I'll gladly get into an E63 AMG or an Audi S6/S7.

The corvette is significantly cheaper to insure than the Hellcat, which offsets the purchase price of the vehicle. That was the case for me at least.

[@Guinea54]

just a matter of taste and preferences.. once a heavy muscle car with power but also way more room and usable.. the other is 2 seat casual joy ride thing. One is built as a muscle car for the street and daily use.. the other is just a novelty, race car.

[@aymanabdussamad]

I love the Corvette

[@btgperformance9234]

why the hell is there a comparison between a coupe and a convertible anyway? Especially while looking at trunk space.

[@cameronkinkade7817]

That trunk test isn't right because that vette is a convertible so the trunk is smaller, because on a hardtop it's 2x bigger

[@mdmoore23]

Cameron Kinkade Right. And you don't have to spend $80k to buy a Grand Sport.

[@kingjames1308]

it wouldnt matter. The challenger trunk is huge. I fit 2 28" drag radials, a tool box and a jack in it with room to spare.

[@mrpmj00]

Right, a corvette coupe has 15 cubic foot whereas the corvette convertible has 5 cubic foot of trunk.

[@Dialysisforever]

These are the two cars they are testing so these are the two trunks they are comparing. Works for me.

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

Cameron Kinkade correct one is a track monster. The other is a straight line monster.

i had a lamborghina and corvette hotwheel and i was talking to my dad about them and i said i liked the corvette more , the hotwheel was a 1997 i still have it to , i have all my hotwheels from 1998 when i was 4 yrs old those little cars are 18 yrs old

[@Beastmaster-nv4yu]

picked the top model for a dodge challenger, why not use a top model for corvette. Im talking about the zo6.

[@williamlange6960]

cant compare a Hellcat to a Grand Sport. A Hellcat to a Z06 is the true comparison matchup.

[@evan4856]

I wanted to see the z06 up against the hellcat...

[@evan4856]

and I think the coup corvette has a lot bigger interior and trunk....

[@RcPmRcPm]

American logic: more horsepower = better car

[@imirish2187]

[@yoojastle3028]

no you can't

[@imirish2187]

Yoo Jastle you wanna bet

[@85funnyguy]

You guys should clarify that the reason the Corvette Grand Sport cost 79k because it's fully loaded. MSRP is 65k.

[@theologix01]

That was a fun comparison! (Vette price seems high)

[@Mmyers1177]

theologix01 It has the optional $6,500 convertible top not a fair comparison. The ZO6 is only $79,900

[@quentinwooten30]

if you have 80k and u buy these cars, they probably wouldn't be your daily drivers so you wouldn't care about trunk space or tire wear

[@bayareamenace6011]

QUENTIN30 CDUB I daily drive the hellcat, or use too. I'm broke now and can't drive it everyday. To much gas LoL oh the struggle

[@yoojastle3028]

I use my z06 as a daily drive.....but I'm in FL, so................

[@landychapman3]

You're right, I may be an old fossil -- I remember the late 90's when the vette won skidpad, braking, 1/4 mile, top speed AND lap times. But it didn't have the "auspacious real wood interior". It stomped pretty much everything that cost twice its price [viper didn't exist back then], so road & track and car & driver awarded the porsche top honors. Judging skewed because of 'Corvette cheap interior'. Who looks at the wood grain heater/AC controls while moving at 144 mph??

[@wildbillpitner4992]

Born a ford guy. Die a ford guy....... #1 Supersnake. #2 yenko vette.......

for all Dodge haters. did you know that the Hemi engine is king of power in top fuel . just saying .and they are the fastest cars on earth..

[@tmhunter7]

It's kind of comparing apples and oranges. If you wanted a true competition, you would have to do viper vs corvette, or camaro ss vs hellcat. We all know who would win those.

[@michaelpincavitch6525]

HUNTER I agree . people go after the hellcat with light sports cars. you have to give challenger credit for its weight and how fast it can go. it will keep up with the zo6 that's 1000 pounds lighter. that's saying something. some people like cutting on dodge. but the charger hellcat has a higher top speed than the new zo6. and is still the fastest gas powered sedan on the planet.

[@cvneko6712]

HUNTER if you know anything about TFL's mash ups, they take two cars that don't exactly compete directly

[@ironsaber2]

hellcat is only faster because the aero package on the vette. i bet the new camaro zl1 has a pretty comparable top speed

[@snipersquad24]

It should be the Hellcat vs. ZL1, not the SS, the ZL1 is more a direct competitor.

[@chriss9278]

trunk space on the hardtop vette is huge

[@devn3813]

I could understand if the grand sport was priced in between a stingray and the z06 but it's too expensive

[@genericdenizen1]

chance linford Both cars are awesome. And for those with even more money, there’s the 755 HP Corvette ZR1 with a Manual Transmission.

[@Sold_a_dummy]

Even if I had the money, neither would be my choice. This is the category of cars that I find kinda meh... The Vette is at least a true sports car. It's, cool the way this was done. It's very much like two friends just bs-ing. I remember seeing the Vettes race in what was the ALMS. They sound awesome. They were loud and in the city, without earplugs, made me even a bit nauseated. Still loved it. I agree, Porsche!

[@adrianp6813]

I Had a z06 and now owning a Hellcat challenger ,If you're a tall guy then u gotta go FOR the Hellcat I'm 6"1 And When I bought the hellcat I had the feeling That I'm driving a truck compared to the small interior of the z06 , I changed my exhaust on the hellcat I upgraded it to a Borla full kit and trust me there's nothing louder than my car in Houston !😌

[@kahless0173]

tire width makes very little difference in acceleration numbers. they help your lateral holding much more. tire construction is a much bigger factor. swapping the hellcat to DRs in the same size would make a bigger difference.

[@KeironRaven]

Corvette looks like a children's toy 😂 so small

If you never have to turn from a straight line...Hellcat. If there’s any chance of deviating from a straight line...Corvette.

it looks like the challenger is made more for everyday driving and fun time too, whereas the vette is purely race inspired. both hellacious lookers, just made to do different things.

[@hectoraguilar7736]

Vette all day ⚡⚡

[@godsaveamerica2611]

Comparing apples and oranges but I'd get the challenger hellcat automatic. It's more fun most of the time. The only time the grand sport can be more fun is on a road course or winding country road but one mistake and kiss your car goodbye. Plus the hellcat cost less and is more comfortable to drive.

When did people start thinking turbos or superchargers sounded good? They aren't meant to sound good They are meant to boost the power. They ruin the sound of the engine actually and sound like complete shit. People have just associated them with power so they think they sound "good". Nah, a naturally aspirated big block sounds good.
