HELLCAT DURANGO vs C8 CORVETTE // Drag Race Comparison!

The 2021 Dodge Durango with 6.2L Hellcat V8 has arrived at Hennessey! This example is soon to be the first to receive our HPE1000 performance upgrade. But first, we were curious how Dodge's AWD supercharged family hauler would compare to Chevrolet's mid-engine C8 Corvette. We headed to the Pennzoil Proving Ground for answers.

Hennessey now offers warranty-guaranteed 900 and 1000 HP upgrades for ALL Hellcat-platformed vehicles! Give us a call today:

If grandma bought that Durango, the seat covers will still be on it in 20 years

Thank you guys for getting right down to it without all the fluff intro stuff you see from other channels. Who needs a 12 minute head to head video?

[Rico]

Hold on kids, Daddy has to beat this Vette really quick!

[dynamikeT]

What they need is the All Wheel drive system in the Challenger Hellcat so it can finally get off the line, and then its really Game Over!

[Andrew-zxwx]

I didn’t realize Ted Cruz could drive like that, lol

[yoboytamer]

Imagine your a red light with ur family and a c8 pulls up next to u and ur kids says I bet my dad will beat you to the next light 🤣

[VictorEstrada]

It's gotta be a slap in the face to the engineers in charge of the launch control, the fact that everyone keeps saying that the best way to launch it, is NOT to use launch control 😂

[themainman]

Taking nothing from the Durango, but dammit, use the C8s launch control for once.

[TheColbyChurch]

C8 driver needs to learn how to launch. It has a faster 0 to 60 than the Durango and should be able to stay out front.

[oclock]

Im realy impressed with this brick it seems more special than a regular brick

[floridaman]

It has different gearing than the track hawk. It's faster than a track hawk by a car length almost. It's faster than a urus aswell. Check out throttle house. They raced a Durango trackhawk and a urus

[DatBawCasen_]

Them Durango’s is something serious. I didn’t wanna believe it. But them Durango’s is something else. And they already have the TrackHawk. Dodge is just top tier .

[mcd]

No surprise. Outstanding engineering by Dodge.

[williepelzer]

Do you realize that vett gave you over a second head start. Both times.

[bln]

YOU CAN'T BE THAT ASLEEP IN A VETTE

[joeblow]

People, it is simple. Dodge's official 0-60 time is 3.5sec. Corvette's official 0 - 60 time is 2.8 secs.. Wait, ... what?! QUIT SANDBAGGING THE VETTE

[EKUgrad]

Ford: Let's make an electric Mustang
GM: Let's make all EV's by 2035
DODGE: HELLCAT ALL THE THINGS!

[dooknoogetchard]

Over 700 HP monster Durango vs 495 HP lightweight car. I'll take both.

[loveovereverything]

As always, Hennessey has something up thier sleeve...

[MrFlacogst]

So correct me if i'm wrong but the Vette having 2 people couldn't launch either time. The Durango took the hit both time and the Vette was reeling them in at the end. I would venture to bet that if the Vette launched properly the outcome would be different. Who's with me....?
