2023 Corvette Z06 vs Dodge Demon // DRAG & ROLL RACE 

@Lynx Actual lmao fr

I followed the Challenger since it was an idea and a concept car ( it took a while for it to go from concept to production ) and was very DETERMINED to buy one when they were released . The real car met expectations of the concept car design wise , but when it was released I was CRUSHED . It was a fat pig on re used architecture that only looked great and was not special in any other way that I wanted and that people were expecting . I wanted something that looked like the 60s that drove more like a sports car / euro car that would turn and stop PLUS was over powered like a big block Cuda . A car that made people shut their mouths about how bad American cars were . I didn't care if it wasn't completely as good but I wanted it ( this was inferred over the MANY YEARS the Challenger was teased and being designed and prototyped for production ) to be UNDENIABLE the way the new Z06 is undeniable even if it's not the greatest or the C8 in general in the way it met or exceeded expectations . When the Challenger was released it was SOO DISAPOINTING when it was tested and reviewed and it was found out that it didn't do anything special performance wise and was actually shitty as a performance car because It was completely under funded and used a heavy old Mercedes chassis . It wasn't even particularly fast in a straightline with its " New Hemi " power plant . It was completely underwhelming and did nothing to kill the American muscle cars suck for driving and aren't even as fast as their reputation idea because they are big fat cars that prefer spinning tires then going fast . I was heart broken and the car stayed the same even though they added power . The Demon is a joke car with more power then it can use and more videos of lesser cars with better designs and ability to get traction beating them in the ONE thing they should do well at which is drag racing. The Mythical #s with a stupid key and skinny fronts is mostly a marketing ploy and in the real world they are silly cars that sit and spin while driving around looking for gas stations . I could care less if they exist and I was a HUGE FAN and so excited when they announced they were green lighting the project and were gonna keep the 60s design language but have a car that got rid of muscle car stereotypes except for the one of being powerful and yet they didn't because the car was fat and didn't have big contact patch and sucked in other ways so it didn't compete as a driver's car either . Wasn't a beast as a muscle car nor as a sporty car or anything beyond a cool neo retro design on leftover parts . They look great but create zero want for me which shocked me after waiting and wanting for years like a kid on Christmas for my wish list only to find an itchy sweater and a turd . Most dissapoihting car ever for me .

Damn dude who hurt you? Lol I've known less obsessive girlfriend-lacking teenagers. I'm glad you had the privelege to imagine owning one at all; being able to buy a brand new car is a bit of a dream. If you ever had enough money to contemplate such a purchase, you should probably take some time to look at how insignificant your "struggle" with Dodge is when most people can't afford any new car, let alone something "fun."

This. So much this.

Tbh I think the c8 is overrated

Did you miss the roll race and the Demon catching up at 150 mph?

Learn to drive. It's called pedal discipline

@@HellcatM6 exactly lol

@@lukemeier1853 no, but apparently you did

It’s useless period.

Thats whats the c8 zora is gonna be based on drag

​@@anthonyhardaway1835I doubt that the ZR1 is meant as a track car.

@@alexanderellis286Zora and ZR1 are different trims

You do realize that corvette would get demolished in a legit drag race on a prepped drag strip? Lmao he couldn’t even press the gas pedal all the way down because the insane and tremendous amount of power would make the tires spin and he would fish tail

@@MisterDenoh make up another excuse for the demon ????,, 😂😂😂😂

No, they are not, these cars are wasting their power, the real engineering are the Porsche and GTR.

except they're really not amazing examples oif engineering. There is nothing amazing about dodges. They do exactly what you'd expect a land barge with a big motor to do, underperform with no traction, and turn like an aircraft carrier. It's all too predictable at this point.

@matthewhunter6421 Yeah I know, I just threw Dodge in there to prevent the butt hurt. Dodge are barges on wheels.

True

They should give us a Christmas special featuring both in an epic video

Hagerty is over done, feels too much like made for TV crap.

@@djsomeguy and that's a plus point, you can watch them anywhere you want without a TV with a TV quality

“Mopar” 😂😂😂

It's only missing a seventeen speed manual transmission

And this is why no one will care about EV racing.

unless on a prepped drag strip, the demon is useless.

​@@monax1a148 Bro bullshit even in a preped drag race the demon will still loose face it you need more than a preped drag race to get 9s with the demon 😂

@@totov7673 I mean the demon 170 can. Not the 800 hp demon. The 1000 hp demon can.

@@monax1a148 bro No its verry difficulte to almost impossible even the 1000HP demon is not going to 9s with just preped drag surface its going to average 12s or 11s (if your lucky) you need more than preped surface 🤣. Look at youtube theres not even a single video of dodge demon doing 9s in a drag strip

@@totov7673 do some simple research buddy. Demon 170 quarter mile test is 8.9 seconds. Video is on RU-vid if you want to see. It’s the official (public) test.

One of the best quotes ever🤣👍🏻

BRUH HE SAID THAT SHIT RIGHT AS I READ THIS 😭😭😭

Been calling Dodge the Burger King of the American car market. It will kill you but they will build it. Surprised they haven't made a Hemi powered minivan.

@@joelf1355 If “Hold my beer” and “Have it your way” had a baby.

Greatest thing ever. Little bit of a stretch there

@@lvloneymaker24 No it's true

I think the ZR1 may have twin turbochargers… which would make it even more insane.

@@RobertMock-pu9yx That will be insane a lt6 with twin turbos. I personally think it won't happen due to there is already traction issues. What may be more likely is a hybrid between the z06 Lt6 engine and the Eray awd and electric motor system.

@@marquisgallegos7719 Like the Zora minus twin turbos?

Yeah, I'm thinking the Zr1 will be LT6 with the E-Ray AWD system and battery bumping up the horsepower. The Zora, I believe, will be everything in the ZR1 as well as a Twin Turbo System.

@@marquisgallegos7719unfortunately I think you are right… that’s why they have such a big chunk of space in the front…. 😢 😭 💀

It wasn't,..and it's naturally aspirated,.with no help, like a supercharger or turbo

These cars are evenly match speed wise it’s down to the driver

Actually it was way more than a split second 😂😂😂😂😂

@@aone7640 They are not evenly matched on speed😂

Facts not even trying

Why cause it beat a car that was beaten by 440hp Porsche?

@@TRX25EX Go off buddy

@@TRX25EXwell, there are also videos on RU-vid of the new Z06 beating a Huracan EVO, 911 GT3, and R8.

@@Marcello2005 A Huracan who couldn't shift and hitting a limitet every race and not even using launch control which you don't need to shift on 😂, GT3 is 170hp less car!!!! Bring Turbo S despite less horsepower it will smoke this Z06 and will show it what is "true supercar" beater is

@@TRX25EX shut up dude. go cry somewhere else.

Not really, Demon in that mode instead of the 1000hp mode is only about 100-110rwhp more than the C8z06 but it weighs around 550lbs more.

😒not really it's supposed to be an 840 hp supercharged race ready vehicle that still got whooped 😶

@@David-bi6lt Uh no, 840hp is the base setting. It also has a 1000hp mode. Oh and no way that Demon was even close to race ready on those tires LMAO but that's what they like to do in these videos to create a certain narrative.

​@@itshihoNo ur wrong. Never has the demon had a 1000 hp mode. Where tf you get that info from. Forza

Still needs a blower

He still lost 🤷‍♂️

@@lostfound5471 oh that's for sure🤣🤣💀

Whats the difference between a porcupine and a corvette ? Porcupine has all the pricks on the outside ! Corvette All the " Pricks are inside ?

Very likely. It's like the Muscle hero vs the Prodigal son. They're both great, great cars. One just has a clear edge, and used that edge to win this fight.

I would take the Z06 all day long Dodgers quality sucks especially with a supercharger and the Dodge has known electrical issues with all their vehicles.

@@richardcerritelli9657 every car from every manufacture has its own list of issues, some are quality issues and some are issues that arise from poor maintenance and beating the hell out of a car. A lot of people don’t understand that there is a break in period for new cars especially high powered cars, during the break in ur not supposed to go over a certain rpm, or do any hard accelerations. That combined with a turbo or supercharger and a lack of knowledge on how to maintain them can lead to very premature failures and issues. And as far as electrical issues, that’s been a major issue for every manufacturer since 96 when they made obd2 a requirement and started adding more and more computer controlled systems and luxuries, back in the early 90s and everything older than that, there were little or no computer systems, driving was an experience, u could feel everything the car did and they were much easier to work on with a lot less electronic crap to fail. Manufacturers are also building cars to fail at specific mileage and timeframe to make more money, it’s called planned obsolescence.

@Lynx Actual Making assumptions make you look like a fool.🤣

Funny engine screech go “WEEEEEEE”

It's just too big and heavy, many other cars can also put a smile on your face

Good comment

@@veteransforequality7347 like your silly opinion matters 😂🤣 shut up.

Z06 is naturally aspirated 😅

Not sure why you'd think that when the Demon has 840hp. That's 170hp more than the Z06. With traction not being as much of a factor I thought the Demon was going to easily pull away. Corvettes punching way above their weight class as usual.

Not really when you realize the Z06 is almost 850lbs lighter 😳

@@adamgriffin But the demon have 170 hp more tho.

@@blue57263 The weight difference is much bigger than the HP difference. So, it makes sense that it lost. However, it was close to slingshotting past it. Twas a good race.

@@blue57263 The Demon is heavier by 3.2 Lizzos to put it in perspective.

Vette is lighter, lower center of gravity, and more aerodynamic

Lol i hope it has 170 hp more than the z06 with a supercharger and the z06 has nothing 😂

@rift33srt95 the Demon Launch control allows you to set Launch RPM and gear so far different then the Hellcat. Which has a worthless Launch control unless on a great prepped track.

@rift33srt95 the Demon has the same setup as the Dragpak just less powerful and weight is up due to street legal requirements.

Swear to god it's literally insane 🤣

Absolutely positively right!

That’s what the stellantis sales manual says to say

Yeah all the women want is to pose in the car . No car your nobody to them . Nobody needs a shallow women . Looks fade in women then they are street corner girls .

I like the orange color. I don't know the official name of the paint, but it's orange, Emilia Hartford on her YT channel!

@@joeysweet9045 yes that amplify orange is a great color as well, it looks really good

@@ParissaKhoury Wait about six months when we are in a recession. Car companies will be begging for buyers then. Just remember the dealers who were screwing us over right now and keep your business away from them.

LOL "babe magnet" yea, be a fool and get this car thinking it's gonna get you laid. it'd be the biggest waste $130k in american history. a mere "vehicle" isn't gonna get you laid, it's all about looks buddy.

I agree the zr1 will be unstoppable

The ZR1 will do wheelies. It’s gonna be even more rear-biased and it will also have much more power. I assume it will also have even less steering feedback than the Z06.

True! I'm a GM guy too (I like the CT5V-Blackwing). They put all of their eggs in 1/4 mile up to mid-range but not top end. The Z06 should have walked away just like it did from the start. But I did love how it walked away from jump street!

@The not gonna lie I've heard hushed rumors that the ZR1 could be a 1000hp AWD beast and then they will best it with a halo car that'll be labeled the ZORA

@@MB.1111 I’ve only heard the ZR1 will be around 800-850 and the zora will be a 1k HP AWD beast

2018 demon has 9.7 new zo6 time is 10.6. Challengers hard to drive cars cause big heavy way muscle cars should be. Corvette had to turn into an Italian sports car. ZR1 is my fav vette

Big fat cars

You're probably blind

It’s all traction issues, the power is there

@user, Because dodge has no idea how to make a car!!

europeans love making the hellcat look bad on purpose 😒 they are incredibly biased and it's so obvious,,, they forever refuse to test it on a preped drag strip 🙄 u've been brainwashed,, these Canadians are a little more fair tho

Came back to lose

I would hope so considering that's it's only job is to go straight. And then it still lost.

It does have nearly 200 more hp

@@noneyabizz8337also keep in mind that this Vette had the Z07 track package, which adds 365 more pounds of downforce and more drag with the wing and wicker bills. A non-Z07 vette in the roll race…scary

The horsepower is what brought it back. That's all it had over the Z06 and it wasn't enough.

Do or don't??

Don’t forget being a torque converter vs a Dual Clutch

@@MaxRamos8 - hp/tq does make up for weight once moving. At least in acceleration.

Like Thomas said, the Dodge is running old tech. But I'd still take the Demon over the Vette. The new Chevy is growing on me only because of its performance but the look hasn't yet. If I were an Italian supercar automaker, I'd sue Chevrolet... 🤣🤣

@@mpound97 - Chevy bought a Ferrari 458 and reverse engineered it

Old school muscle ? The Demon is far from being old school muscle

@LeoFHR it's 100% old school with some modern tech. Big pushrod V8 upfront, rear wheel drive, can't stop can't turn. Only great in a straight line. How is that not old school muscle? 🤔

So if the Demon will do better on a prepped track, wouldn't it be safe to say the Corvette would do better to??

@Aaron Collins they said the vetted hooked pretty well. 0-60 in prefect conditions both cars are pretty well matched but in the 1/4 the demon would take it. It's all about the launch.

That Demon is unbelievable , I know most of y’all like the Vettes.. But Jesus that wonderful performance 🥂

Does it come with drag radials?

@Darkcruzer23 yep. For 1 dollar you get the drag setup.

Yeah but it doesn’t come with a diff that won’t explode on a preped track

Not really , they have a ton of comfort stuff , AC ( that gets diverted but still no track car runs AC ) . If it were a track car it would have more lightweight features , it's definitely meant to be a street car that happens to have hard to hit #s on a prepped surface but bragging rights to first car that does a wheelie and some other records .PLENTY of people who own them never make it to a drag strip or go once and put 15k or more miles a year using it as transportation / fun street car . My understanding is, anybody's grandmother can drive the car very easily and wouldn't know how much power it has without mashing it and that it's a comfy car and good for family because back seats . I guess there is a rear seat delete . But it's just a Challenger which is/ was already an old Mercedes when they released the first challengers and has been updated a bit , most notably adding HP and NAMES but still an old heavy Mercedes at heart

Thought that was a drag race

Same! I absolutely love that car over any car. Maybe cuz I have a scat pack, but I just love the Demon

You really need a prepped strip

@@whyamievenhere1334 You're exactly right. No driver could have beat the Z06 with the demon on that track. It can't compete without a prepped track because of its FR layout.

a pro under a demon and a pro under the vette. The demon still loses. idk why people praise the demon is a garbage boat. lol

@@Eric-zs6rd it would still lose on a prepped track. The vette is the better car. in the street the demon is a dud. clear bargain here. and you get to terrorize super cars. something the demon never will lol
