How does RAM's 2021 TRX with 6.2L Hellcat V8 stack up next to the mid-engine C8 Corvette? We headed to the Pennzoil Proving Ground to find out.

Thank you for making this a mere 3:23 video. Most channels would have dramatically turned this into an exaggerated 30 minute long snooze fest.

A non-aerodynamic 6, 400 pound block vs a aerodynamic 3, 600 wedge...

Vette had no launch control and is on reduced power because its not past 500miles for break in! Still a cool race I guess but I think a broken-in Vette with launch control would walk the TRX way harder.

The person driving the corvette must have fell asleep at the wheel.

That's insane how fast that trx comes out of the gate.

I drive a Dodge Journey. I'm happy when the brakes don't squeel. Lol

That turtles like “i don’t need your help human! I’m not that old i can cross the street!”

C8 is still not broken in, power is restricted for the first 500 miles. Also It’s cool to race without launch Controll but it would have been nice to see both with launch Controll also...

Never heard of that truck before, TRX, but soon learned about one after I pulled up along side of one at a red light in my C6. I was needless to say impressed, as well as ticked off at the same time, when he hole shot me, red light to red light on a heavy traffic hwy in Florida. To much traffic to pass him but he had me by half a fender until we had to slow up due to the traffic. I was surprised to say the least. Damn fast for a truck.

That wasn't a turtle on the track it was a Ford Raptor

TFL Truck is having a series called “run what you brung” to see who could beat their stock Ram TRX. Hennessy, you guys should bring over a truck or two to make it interesting. Good publicity, and it would be fun to watch.

[Matthew-oefx]

The takeoff on that truck is unbelievable I bet that feels absolutely amazing

[Kowboy]

Trx vs the old srt-10 ram would be killer

[zz-hjzi]

C8 wasn’t even broken in yet and still was in break-in limp mode

[jeremyh.]

You can see from the shot with the clusters at the end that the C8 isn't past the 500 mile break in period.

[D.C..]

Should’ve switched drivers for second race

[FINALSS]

I wish they left the line at the same time

[UnknownDestiny]

those engines sound great i love the look of the RAM

[Viper]

Hennessey, really? You raced a C8 that hasn't even passed the 500 mile break in, WITHOUT launch control and the guy driving it has the reaction time of a sloth. The C8 would have absolutely destroyed in ideal conditions.

I rode in a TRX today and did a launch. Incredible to say the least
