Audi driver here! Glad y’all enjoyed my reactions so much, the R8 just does that to me for sure lol! Definitely pumped to come back out and line up against some other cool cars 💪
I am a high end driver and hellcats are the worst cars.The computers are awful and on street tires they have no traction anywhere--if you punch one even at HWY speeds it can break loose.I bought a 2020 AWD Stinger 3.3TT and it is enough for me.I like bigger cars and probably will be getting a performance SUV next time around in 2025.I always rent Audis on business trips and the A6 is great for travel.R8 is great but i needed a sedan and set a 50k limit and the Stinger came up as the winner at that price or under.
@@joe6843 they hypocrites because they know the hellcat weighs over 4200 pound a sedan and cost significantly less than a r8 which is lighter and has lower center of gravity (more aero) and a dual clutch I didn’t expect the cat to win but it did good for what it is
@@Rick-fe8xn They're slow. Constantly being beat by cars with a lot less horsepower. They're heavy and ancient. Thank goodness that Stellantis is finally killing these dinosaurs.
Josh seems like a super dope guy! Great video, the R8 is bonkers. Sam, the people you have out to drive in your videos is so great - everyone always has such a good time. Great stuff as usual.
I like these power to weight ratio races, they’re both fun fast cars. Kind of incomparable but fun nonetheless lol. That’s the whole point of the videos.
I am guessing that anyone driving a Dodge Hellcat or Red Eye or whatever else Dodge is rolling off its assembly lines has a velvet picture of those dogs playing cards in thier living room and camp at a trailer park 😜
@@masonharkness6437 that’s kind of the point…..the charger is heavy, handles like shit, and gets beat by a C8 with a NA V8…. So what exactly are you buying a hellcat charger for? It’s sporty looks? Lol it looks like a regular sedan. Ohhhhh I get it, you want the hellcat badges on the sides 🤣🤣🤣
@@markb6482 I get that you’re trolling here but the C8 is down a few seats for starters. Given the C8 is a cheaper car if a hellcat owner really wanted one then they would just go buy one. The C8 has amazing performance but I didn’t even give it a second thought when choosing as I have a family and having more than 2 seats was kind of important. 🤷
@@markb6482 that’s kind of the point… it’s a regular looking sedan with 707 hp, not everyone needs the sporty d bag look at me car 🤷♂️ oh I get it you want everybody to look at you when you drive down the strip lol
😍R8 exhaust sounds MEAN! love the revs! So happy to see you having so much fun Sam! wasn't quite sure if you're able to handle 800HP RWD haha but you did good Sam. Hmmm are we going to start seeing more expensive and exotic cars on the "People's Channel"? haha I know we all love you racing average Joe cars but I think once in awhile it's ok to have some crazy cars on here I love it and keep up the super addictive content! 👍👍👍
@@ThatzKevin No. otherwise you would see the gap closing on these runs at the end. The gap kept widening and the hellcat never made up ground or closed in on the difference in speed. The hellcat also still managed to hook up on some of those rolls with the hellcat even being ahead briefly. So wheelspin was mostly out of the equation.
@@cflgt500 it can 🤣🤣🤣 this car is competing with m5s, R8s, lambos, and guys like u wanna talk sh*t like the 80k hellcat is not am impressive car, some of u guys are delusional
@@WASTED__POTENTIAL obviously, it would be nice if it did, you never know someone probably built one, so you lack imagination? it’s almost like saying free valve engines don’t exist.
@@TheAudi585 there are some people that think the Hellcat actually has an awd option, so I was just making sure you were aware it still doesn't exist apart from potential custom jobs. Obviously, if there is an LS Tesla, Coyote Fusion, and 100hp power wheels jeep, an awd Hellcat is in the realm of possibility, too.
Why does everyone think they can manually shift these zf8 speeds? You can not do a better job than the computer, I have NEVER seen it. I have a Trackhawk hell cat Durango and charger hellcat, you just let it do it’s thing.
@@franktank9573 keep lying to yourself, not me. I'm not poor but prove it with your youtube tag too frank the fake, the fraud. You the one claiming to have all of those
@@franktank9573 cobalt turd? I play videogames.... so what? No idea what you're talking about, I have a Honda. I figured you would cop out and couldn't prove nothing cause I knew you were a fraud.
You do realize that at mid point in the race, there were no wheel spin on both cars, but the R8 is leaving the Cat. DR will only help a little, but not win the race against the R8.
Charger Hellcat owner right here, I'm currently on a E85 tune from MPR Motorsports, pushing 900whp. With street legal slicks, I've lined up against Audis ,BMW, and Mercedes they can't keep up.
@@pixelxl7194 same pile of junk that smokes the car who has your panties wet, fucking toxic fanboy!! Toxic to the whole car community period!! Dumb as hell
The hellcat has a souped charger and way more tq so it’s will go and bump down and jump in any gear. Rpm is more important for a super car with high rpm and no tq.
@@speedlife301 you think I don’t know a hellcat is super charged. Motors also have peak torque ... it doesn’t matter that it’s supercharged dude if you are not even in the range to make the best power
Not really. I see charger guys always trying to race Porsches, and other sports cars around here because they think they're hot shit with a muscle car. It's always fun to watch them get shut down by pretty much anything with all-wheel drive because it's not like you're going to get a quarter mile run on public roads.
@@brdavis Bro what are you talking about? No smart hellcat owner would race anything with awd especially a Porsche. Stop hating on the hellcat it’s a 4door muscle car that’s it.
2wd vs 4wd, V8 vs V10, 4600lbs vs 3600lbs. These cars shouldn't be compared. In one I can get groceries and take my kids to school, in the other I can't even get a full sized luggage bag into its frunk. If I had to choose, I'd still take the charger.
@@f8widescat392 I know the charger is more practical, but I don't think a charger hellcat will be the only vehicle, your girls vehicle can be used for the family just saying
Even though I'm a MOPAR fan, I will say this race was actually fair since R8 V10+ is more lighter, faster, & aerodynamic compared to the Charger Redeye which is like a land yacht on wheels but still fun as hell burnout machine, no hate but simply stating my facts.
Yes but also down nearly 200hp. People will say a hellcat or hellcat redeye can beat a gt500, yet a gt500 beats r8s, huracans, 488s, while a hellcat gets walked by a huracan 580-2 and a the redeye took a hard loss to a r8 v10+
@@cflgt500 Straight facts, bro!! Many people don't realize there's many factors to consider when comparing a heavy (ier) car with lots of hp vs a more aerodynamic and lighter car with slightly less hp but still with many horses.
a redeye is about the easiest car in the world to drive fast, all of the ones being stolen prove that, but you can't expect to beat a R8 either way. It's a supercar vs a overpowered whale.
@@Keith.Vieira most street encounters are from a roll, go ahead and pull up beside a Charger Hellcat Red Eye in whatever 500 Horsepower AWD car YOU HAVE from a 60 roll.
That's one of the reasons supercars are so expensive and valuable. They can beat muscle cars in a straight line and perform like race cars around corners. They're basically good at everything except practicality lol.
First run had me, but the other runs soon solidified my assumption. The Red eye vs M4 should bring more of a challenge.The Audi vs GT3. Keep it coming!
I was happy with the performance of the charger considering it had those slip and slide pirelli's on it. We're talking about a two wheel drive four-door sedan compared to a two-door four-wheel drive sports car. I'm still taking the charger.
One of my favorite races in the channel… it’s kinda fair for both cars.. one lighter & less power & the other is heavier & more power… keep it up sam 👍🏼
I recently viewed one of your videos for the infinity that is my car to own soon so gotta tell you that your vibe is just superb and the energy is wonderful on your channel so i subscribed and turnt notifs on expecting more great videos to come #fan
A small suggestion to make your videos more enjoyable, Don't play the same race multiple times from different angles, instead play it just the one time while alternating points of view...
@@gogreen392 “Your a not” huh? 🤣😂😂😂 *you’re Learn grammar before you try to criticize someone’s mental capacity. 😂 Also it’s obvious YOURE in love with mopar by looking at your name. Y’all are so funny how you can be so biased towards something you didn’t have a hand in developing. Why be so in love with something you have to buy into. Mopars suck, hellcats in particular they have to be modded straight off the showroom floor to put power down. Pretty much useless in stock form. They’re cool for burnouts though GO MERICA 😂 (in my hillbilly voice) 392s are fat and slow. But I guess for the price point the charger is a cool sedan with a V8 ... I picked German so I don’t shop that low in price range for my V8 sedans and hellcats are too cheaply built on that old E class chassis and basic crap interior to even justify that high sticker price and they get smoked by all the German sedans E63s M5 and RS7.
The intro says it all. The dodge is useless in basically any real life, on the road situation. Take it off the prepped drag strip and its just a list of excuses as to why it lost.
Ive always said that. You can only use them in warm dry times and basically on highways. Otherwise they are potential accidents waiting to happen if you try and put the pedal down
American car engineers: We will be fast! Add more power! 1000hp goal! European car engineers: Let’s just make our cars 700hp because we will be just as fast as the Americans at that power level 👍 European engineering ftw
Got a friend took his iroc to Germany, a jetta pulled up beside him and waved good bye and he never saw him again. That being said, ITS ALL ABOUT THE GEARING. IF you don't understand GEARING, you don't understand Autobahn blasters.
Shocking that with 200hp more and 300ft pounds that it can keep up in a roll. Even if it didn’t keep up at all and got walked when the r8 was in its sportiest settings.
My favorite is the first race. The R8 wasn't even on his top setting.....and started pulling the charger. I wouldn't be happy with that. That would've just been a warning to me
Wait what? The Audi is over a 1000lbs lighter has a lower center of gravity a dual clutch transmission has awd so I don’t get what your point is have that Audi race a Tesla model s plaid and it’ll show you what a real super car is
@@texasstreetkings537 the Audi R8 had literally all the disadvantages it’s a 200 hp difference weight doesn’t matter because the redeye has way more torque and is supercharged and meant for straight lines the R8 was made for track lmao and no crap the model s plaid beat the R8 bozo it’s 1100 hp vs 600 hp but the koenigsegg agera rs against the model s plaid on an airstrip that’s a proper hypercar the model s plaid barely only goes 200 mph lmao
