1,000hp Dodge Charger v 1,000hp Dodge RAM: DRAG RACE

It’s time for an all-American showdown!

Mat and Racing Driver Sam have flown over to Texas to get their hands on a pair of Hennessy powerhouses, and they’re set to go head-to-head on Hennessey’s own drag strip!

So let’s see how these two contenders compare. First off, we have Mat in the Hennessey Mammoth, which is based on the Dodge RAM TRX. It comes with a 6.2-litre supercharged V8, but the power output has been increased to 1,012hp and 1,314Nm of torque! Power is sent to all four wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and this HUGE pick-up tips the scales at 2,921kg!

Then we have the Hennessey H1000 Charger. It comes with pretty much the same engine as the Mammoth, so it has a 6.2-litre supercharged V8 that can put down 1,000hp and 1,285Nm. It comes with an 8-speed automatic gearbox that sends power to the rear wheels only, and it weighs in at 2,086kg.

So the Charger isn’t exactly light, but will the weight difference prove decisive over the quarter-mile? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Big horsepower is useless if you can’t put it the ground efficiently .

Hatsoff to sam for such skills he’s a legend. That drifting rolling race was just epic. 🔥🔥🔥🔥

Loved the way the back end of that Mammoth sat down down as it launched. That truck is ridiculously quick for the 3 tonne behemoth that it is!

The irony is that if the Charger had less horse power it would get off the line a lot quicker.

The Drift-Drag Race looked very nice with that clean drift from the charger.

[konradbuba]

Imagine Chargers and Challengers being awd with a rwd option. Those things would be murdering others off the line.

Sam's drift start was the cleanest shit I've ever seen on this channel. What a man

[ashham]

That last launch with the drift was probably one of the coolest things to ever witness!! huge props to Sam!!

[joscejrod]

I really love your reviews and comparisons Mat. Drag races are good entertainment for specific moments, but ultimately these kind of videos are the vast majority of the channel. Please, increase our beloved reviews for new year ❤️

That drift and launch seemed like a movie scene…. Insane ❤

That launch and rolling start looked like something straight of out Fast and Furious

[Misterlikeseverythin]

It probably is quite challenging to make that sedan weight 2.1T.

I really love the new camera perspective where you look over the driver’s shoulder through the windshield! Gives you more of a vibe where you’re driving it yourself.

I just wanted to say that If you have suicidal thoughts or mental trauma or even if you don’t or just going through a thought time or neither just know that I love you and your loved by many and people and if you think that might not be loved by your family or people you know or just anyone just know they might even love you even more than your think. You have a purpose you are beautiful, kind, just be yourself and go after what you want to do. You are amazing, you got this, and things will get better in your life, you will do great things, and so many people and I are proud of you. Your future is bigger than your past and your past does not define you are awesome and a warrior. Don’t hate yourself simply because of your past, forgive yourself, love yourself no matter what because you deserve the world and the great things in it. I love you Have a wonderful beautiful nice day. Also how are you and your family doing today? Hope you feel better and your family.❤️ Be yourself no matter what you are, have, or what to be you are still amazing and you kind and beautiful always you are the light of the world. Stay safe. 💪🏽❤️. Have a beautiful day

The exhaust rumble of this pair at low-to-mid revs is heavenly...more than makes up for their foibles...

[Tom-zqum]

One of the best sounding drag races you’ve ever done!! American muscle V8 is hard to beat!

[anastasiosgastriotis]

Finally we can see how fast the cars actually go! Keep it up it makes the race even more interesting

[jtcx]

Going over about 600HP in the Charger without drag radials doesn't improve performance from a dig. If you have drag slicks on a prepped track, yes, you will turn great times. But if you are on street tires, adding 300HP to the Hellcat is useless under 100mph

That drifting rolling race was clean🔥🔥🔥.
