Roush driver here… thank you very much Sam and Dane for this race. Must say that Dane’s Hellcat is the scariest car I’ve driven so far… impressive!!! Love for everybody and haters… please, just enjoy the video lol
Next time you should start with the manual shifting to get into gear then switch to auto immediately. Using shifters on a 10speed doesn’t do it justice. You’ll feel the difference brother👍🏼
The Hellcat it's 860HP.. 🤷🏻♂️ Only reason the Roush gets ahead is because it's lighter.. Anyways that car is fast! Even on HP Disadvantage it takes off like there's no tomorrow..
It's governed to 155. Got to have a tunner remove it. Comes that way from Ford factory. I own one with roush r2650 stage 2 2020 750 hp 670 lb-ft torque. Cannot go over 155.
Truth. Roush has always been ultra conservative with their tunes. I can't count how many supercharged Roush cars and trucks I've seen get custom dyno tunes and pick up another 10-15% horsepower. I guess if you're going to give a 3-year warranty on your product, you're going to tune it for the absolute worst case scenario.
@@Stupidboi1 they make the power they say they do, they just don't have the best cooling setup. They can run 10.8s on a prepped quarter mile but run slower times in back to back pulls. This one handled the heat pretty well, usually the heatsoak slows them down a lot after a couple of pulls. For this being a stock Roush setup on the Roush tune, it did really well. Their tunes are slowly getting better, I'm running their most recent revised calibration and it blows the last one out of the water. They need to get the heat under control to start actually being competitive.
@@cooperlueck they're very reliable. The Roush tuning is conservative and shift points are just over 7k instead of 7400. The only issue with mine is that it might have messed up one of my cats, no internal issues though.
I had a stock 18 Hellcat Charger and I currently have a 19 Roush Stage 3 Mustang and anytime I ran the Mustang against my Hellcat the Mustang won every single time in a dig or roll and both cars were on drag radials. My Roush was on the Phase 1 calibration at the time which was 710hp/610tq. Now I’m on the Phase 2 calibration at 750hp/670tq like this car in the video and those races were way too close for that. I suspect that Hellcat is not stock or just some poor driving not knowing how to utilize the 10 speed in the Mustang.
@@gummybear41283 Vortech / Paxton are excellent options if you like centrifugal blowers. Whipple and VMP are excellent PD blowers. The roush 2.3 used on the 15-17 Gen 2 coyote was a great blower.

Good runs and great driving by the guy in the Hellcat. I far too often see owners blowing the tires off the rims on launch, but this guy held it together with every run. I always cringe when I see Roush cars in a comparison, because I automatically know its going to fall on its face at half track. Roush is famous for pulling a "ton" of timing out of the top end of their ECU tunes. They do it to account for poor fuel quality (or the owners that are too cheap to run premium fuel), since they're offing a 3-year warranty on their product. Every single Roush car/truck I've seen get a custom tune, has picked up a solid 10-15% increase across the board. Still...it is what it is.

The mustang will ALWAYS leave first and be ahead for a bit because of their differences but the once the power of that supercharged 6.4 kicks in that’s it.

@@jamesdyer3507 it would lose. Because it loses against the Gt500 as these 2 barely lose against the Gt500. It is a super nice Caddy tho. I have seen a Taurus SHO almost beat a Blackwing. Even a Marauder was on the back doors of a Blackwing. That is 1 heavy Gran Marque on drugs. Stock on stock.
For the amount of money spent on the Roush it should walk that hellcat. 760 is moderately tuned for a Gen 3 though. That Roush can make much more power than that but great race fellas
There's something about Sam. I take back any bad remarks about your driving skills. That's irrelivant, you are genuine and so enthustiastic. Which is why you are the best You Tuber in my book. You da man Sam, and Dane is the woman.
Unfortunately the stang has a speed limiter and tops out at 155. Where the Hellcat does not. I have a r2650 on my 2020 mustang. Going to remove it when warranty expires. Will do 190 easy.
What does this have to do with an 1/8th mile or quarter mile race? When are you going to race it past 155? Just curious.. How many times have you actually been to 155?
@@CreativePixElation Lol... Alot. Considering I have a super charged 5 liter. It gets to 155 fast. So does a hellcat. Do you own either of these vehicles? 155 is not shit for a hellcat. Roll racing people break 155 ease. Quarter mile not going to happen stock supercharger.
@@justinhawes5193 I do actually... and there isn't a hellcat at the track I go to that needs to worry about 155mph. Most don't reach over 130mph.. But... My speed limiter is about 180.. I'm still not going to hit it in the 1/4 mile...
There’s no reason the mustang should lose at all. Weighs less, higher HP, higher torque, better aero, better gearbox. Like this is truly determined by the drivers
Let's see we got sticky tires on the mustang. The Challenger has stock tires looks like pirellis. The mustang has more horsepower and weighs less. And the hellcat still pulls it in. Would I rather pay $67,000 or $93,000 I think that's an easy answer
negative it absolutely will not.. the Roush Stage 3 has been known to underperform for the HP numbers the RS3 traps around the same and less than a stock hellcat and runs near identical times. It will lose to a Redeye every time from a roll or dig and a 2020 GT500 which actually performs like its hp rating. A stock Hellcat can beat a RS3 especially above 130+
I’ve a q60 red sport thats tuned by AMS (red alpha stage 3 kit), its got about 470 whp, let me know if you wanna race it! (Runs 11.5 at the quarter mile)
These close races are so insanely satisfying. Monster cars head to head, love it. 2 things (lol) 1. Lets see that Sentra! 2. Dane revving the Hellgato with a dart in his hands. Outstanding
Mustang has aggressive gearing probably a 3.73 which is to much for top end . Low trap speed , it needs a 3.55 or 3.15 to handle that hellcats trap speed
Tuning and gear ratio played a roll in why the races kept ending the way they did. Hellcat had longer gears than the stang, stang is set up for a shorter run. I am a FORD man and always will be. But you gotta respect what Dodge did with those engines.
I really enjoyed this video . Please !!! Do the same Video with a 2021 Roush Stage 3 against a 2021 Shelby GT 500 . I have a 2020 RS3 and I’m dying to know how my car would do against a GT 500 of the same year and not an older 500 .
Thanks for this Video . We own Roush Stage 3’s and I’ve wondered how these two cars compared to each other. Now then , Please Please do the same thing with the 2021 Roush Stage 3 against the 2021 Shelby GT 500 . The HP is only 10 different but the Torque is 45 difference. I’ve been looking for a video on this but only find the RS3 up against an older GT500 . I’m betting other Roush owners like me want to see this race .
So the car with 50 more HP, 20 more torque and weighs 250lbs less cant outrun its opponent. Something doesnt add up. I believe Roush really put in some warrenty tuning in the top of of that mustang. Looks like the Mustang hit a wall at a certain speed.
@@someferarriguy7910 whipple don't offer the same warranty 3 year 30,000 miles ,right now whipple is over 12weeks back order . So going to whipple isnt that easy.lol
Had a guy in this exact mustang only red try to race me in my Challenger Scat Pack. I took one look at his Roush and new better. Managed to ask him at the Red light how much he paid for it...$94,000. I couldn't help but laugh. Nice car but way outta my price range. Nice race guys!
Sam this was an excellent race this goes to show supercars are not the only stars but also these scary beastly machines man , and I'm Tellin ya that Roush is way better than Shebly mustangs , more durable and all you can go watch hoovies garage video regarding Roush mustangs and why they're better than Shelby's also Sam there is one special Roush mustang that you need to try and get and not only do a race with but also a full review with ,it's the P51 Roush Mustang that thing has had only 51 units made in the entire world , nevertheless I'm a Mopar guy and I'm proud of the hellcats performance against the this beast so as well against the R8 in the last video of course that was the Redeye I know but still these kitty cats are awesome 😎👍💪🇺🇸🔥🔥❤️❤️💯💯✌️ SOME OF THR BEST PERFORMANCE DRAG RACES IN ALL OF TH-cam THESE TWO RACES WERE!!🤜🤛.
If that's a stock hellcat, that's pretty good to be neck and neck with a stage 3 mustang... but it would've been a clear difference in favor of Dodge if it was a redeye against the stage 3 mustang
I've got a 2021 GT with a Phase 2 and you are correct about the shifting. If I'm in SPORT mode with the Roush tune it's rough and if I'm in TRACK mode it's undrivable in the city as my spine feels like I'm on the receiving end of a viking invasion. I'm sure you know what Toronto streets are like :)
Is this the roush mustang that the throttle body closes when the supercharger temps go up which makes you lose power and keeps temps high instead of cooling down
Seems as though the Hellcat had gearing better for higher speeds with reliable acceleration and the Mustang wants to leave like a bat out of hell but the gear ratios limit top end acceleration compared to the hellcat. Overall I would say the hellcat with lower numbers 2 gears less and heavier weight it still the quicker car down the run but a better driver could have changed this outcome. What do you guys think?
Unfortunately the Roush blower for Gen 3 coyote is the worst one to get out of all the blowers available for the 18-current mustangs. They have heat soak issues. Undersized Intercooler. A Whipple or VMP Wouldn’t have let the Hellcat come back and close the gaps.
I’m impressed by the Mustang. Seriously. We’re talking about a 5.0 L naturally aspirated against a 6.4 L supercharged. Come on that thing should’ve blew his doors off. Imagine putting a supercharger on that 5.0. It wouldn’t be a comparison. Say what you want about Ford man but they are on the top of their game when it comes to muscle cars. And they use a much smaller motor to do so. Kudos to Ford!!! First on race day as usual.
The mustang roush is a nice car but it’s tuned and the hellcat is stock. But dodge is something else. Especially the hellcat. The dodge is quite heavier than the mustang but it still kept a good race.
I drive a S60 3.0 Polestar Volvo. It's AWD and I wreck the 5.0 GT Mustangs whenever they line up. 400hp and 650 NM of torque. I pulled up next to one of these thinking it was a regular 5.0. It absolutely wrecked me and sounded magnificent while doing it. I still destroyed it around the first set of bends but on the straights it ruled #respek
I have a 13'GT must. Roush test mule it eats cats(from h_ll) it's been tuned at brenspeed 2 times over 750hp. Has 9,800 mi. A true show car 1 of from all I know. They Roush owned it since day one for 34mo.s
That’s inaccurate info. That was the initial rollout on the 2018’s with the smaller heat exchanger and original calibration. The revised Phase 2 calibration and larger heat exchanger have made huge improvements.
@@johnthegaptist7794 Intercooler is still significantly smaller than the blow up designs from VMP and Whipple. It still gets heat soaked. Not enough room in the valley of a Gen 3 to install a sufficient blow down design.
I own a 2021 Roush Stage 3, and in a drag race, the best setting is Drag mode with the 10-speed in its normal mode. Shifting the automatic into sport mode just messes it up. The sport mode is the same as selecting Sport mode. By doing so you hurt your times!
Wow that was entertaining! Second run hellcat driver was manually shifting looks like. What happened to the roush, the transmission doesn't upshift sometimes? Is that due to the tune
Finally a racer who knows how to launch a Hellcat, tired of seeing Mere mortals that can only seem to launch everything but a Hellcat . Next up Baby Big Dogg, Srt Superstock !
The problem is that it's Roush. Get a Whipple or VMP on there and have it properly tuned for the same max power and the Hellcat wouldn't stand a chance.
@@lbear3321 that's a stretch. Have you ever seen it referred to as north American muscle? No, they specifically call it American muscle referring to U.S. of A.
For some reason the mustang has great numbers on paper but just always falls short for some reasons idk why. But this was an amazing race between two big HP cars.
I’ve seen a few,”if the Roush had a tune” or certain mod, it would be over for the Dodge. Yeah, do the same for the dodge. The Dodge has more top end. If the race was longer the Dodge would simply walk the Stang with no problem. At higher speeds, the Dodge had no problem reeling the Stang back in.
wow!!! Hey you said semi slick ties. which tires are those. If they are a drag radial that makes a big difference. The hell cat have a semi slick? I know it sounds crazy but I imagine those cars could spin tires at 50mph on the roll also.
Honestly that Roush get pulled on both from dig and rolling, the gearing, suspension and transmission tuning are worlds apart from the standard older Hellcats. Just the gearing ratio from a 2.62 to 3.09 will make all the difference. But man that Roush looks and reving is enough to win in looks department alone
Would love to see both cars race with 6sp manuals, as true muscle cars should have manuals, separates the men from the boys imo. Great race though, enjoyed it!
I am so mad about Roush that that Hellcat will walk over it if they went a distance but I believe he can take that Hellcat on that track real good though these light enough
Older Hellcat is going to suffer on the launch because it isn't a wide-body with the beefier tires. A Hellcat Redeye Widebody would be more in line with price of the Roush.
Paddle shift/center console shift in manual mode every time. Full auto sometimes hangs. Proven fact manual shift with auto trans is by far best for faster time/quicker acceleration. Always sport, sport plus or track mode and traction control off. Sam this time did a much better reaction to hand drop.
No surprise the Catt was making the pass in very first run. Roush tends to over state their kits power, and have done so since 2008. I'd estimate the Roush at 650 hp and 580 tq.
Something must not be right on the Roush cause I have a 2020 and have never even on 91 had a problem with a hell car I let them jump then reel them in like nothing even tuned with intake etc
Lol. The roush is a 5.0 with a supercharger. In other words you don’t need to spend hellcat money to go fast in a straight line. Money being equal put the hellcat up against a gt500.
@@danieljohn4603 My friends father has a roush stage 3 and it was nowhere even close to that. He bought it brand new and it was cheaper than the hellcat.
@@kcb55 You can get them starting at $25-30k and up over base cost of a Mustang. The prices of the 2 cars tested in this video were $67k for hellcat and $93k for the Stang. ( I quoted the Canadian price before by mistake)
Everything I know, and have seen, with Chrysler transmissions turns me off to any Chrysler product. As far as quality is concerned, I'll go with the Mustang every time! There is no discussion!
So no drag mode in the s550? That's weird? The ecu allows for a little bit of slippage by adjusting timing, braking, and throttle respond to the traction control system and all you have to do is stay in it and point and shoot. I'm about to boost my 5.0 6speed premium package very very soon. Can't wait to see what it'll do. It's tuned by Lund now on flex fuel tune. Nice runs against the Hellcat. Can't sleep on those kitty cats especially with a driver who knows how to drive one.
5.0 V8 supercharged mustang gave the 6.2 V8 supercharged hellcat a run for its money. The hellcat is only better at top end, but even so it’s ALLL the way at the end when the race is over👀 I’d chose the Roush over the hellcat anyday! Especially with the Roush being sold for 65k with only 2000 miles. If you like mopars go for it, but any car guy knows the mustang is the car to choose over the gas guzzlin Dodge.
Roush driver here… thank you very much Sam and Dane for this race. Must say that Dane’s Hellcat is the scariest car I’ve driven so far… impressive!!! Love for everybody and haters… please, just enjoy the video lol
you need to ditch that roush tune

@@jamesdyer3507 it would lose. Because it loses against the Gt500 as these 2 barely lose against the Gt500. It is a super nice Caddy tho. I have seen a Taurus SHO almost beat a Blackwing. Even a Marauder was on the back doors of a Blackwing. That is 1 heavy Gran Marque on drugs. Stock on stock.
@@lincolnls0416 my man 🤜🤛
idc what nobody says that's not a 30-40k difference. being that competitive with near 50 less hp and 300+ pounds heavier is insane.
For the amount of money spent on the Roush it should walk that hellcat. 760 is moderately tuned for a Gen 3 though. That Roush can make much more power than that but great race fellas
There's something about Sam. I take back any bad remarks about your driving skills. That's irrelivant, you are genuine and so enthustiastic. Which is why you are the best You Tuber in my book. You da man Sam, and Dane is the woman.
Unfortunately the stang has a speed limiter and tops out at 155. Where the Hellcat does not. I have a r2650 on my 2020 mustang. Going to remove it when warranty expires. Will do 190 easy.
What does this have to do with an 1/8th mile or quarter mile race? When are you going to race it past 155? Just curious.. How many times have you actually been to 155?
@@CreativePixElation Lol... Alot. Considering I have a super charged 5 liter. It gets to 155 fast. So does a hellcat. Do you own either of these vehicles? 155 is not shit for a hellcat. Roll racing people break 155 ease. Quarter mile not going to happen stock supercharger.
@@CreativePixElation He is reeling him in because the mustang cuts power alot once you go over 150. 50 roll your going to break 150.
@@CreativePixElation Perhaps not. It's kph so that is 31 mph. So probably no going to break 150.
@@justinhawes5193 I do actually... and there isn't a hellcat at the track I go to that needs to worry about 155mph. Most don't reach over 130mph.. But... My speed limiter is about 180.. I'm still not going to hit it in the 1/4 mile...
There’s no reason the mustang should lose at all. Weighs less, higher HP, higher torque, better aero, better gearbox. Like this is truly determined by the drivers
That was a great race. I enjoyed it very much. I would like to see who would win at higher speeds.
Hellcat, their top end is too strong
Let's see we got sticky tires on the mustang. The Challenger has stock tires looks like pirellis. The mustang has more horsepower and weighs less. And the hellcat still pulls it in. Would I rather pay $67,000 or $93,000 I think that's an easy answer
So which would you rather have?
@@collingreatest1772 I'd take the hellcat
I'm putting a Vortech supercharger on my 2020 Mustang GT. Will have 56K invested for 700 HP.
Actually I was using Nexun winter tires ahahah
the $93k is just Roush pricing. You can get a supercharged mustang GT for $35k brand new lol.
The 2021 Roush Stage 3 Mustang if it’s the 10 speed auto will take the Hellcat in a dig and roll every time. If it was a Redeye it would be a toss up.
Yeah either the title is wrong or the emblem is wrong but if it was the red eye toss up for sure
negative it absolutely will not.. the Roush Stage 3 has been known to underperform for the HP numbers the RS3 traps around the same and less than a stock hellcat and runs near identical times. It will lose to a Redeye every time from a roll or dig and a 2020 GT500 which actually performs like its hp rating. A stock Hellcat can beat a RS3 especially above 130+
I’ve a q60 red sport thats tuned by AMS (red alpha stage 3 kit), its got about 470 whp, let me know if you wanna race it! (Runs 11.5 at the quarter mile)
These close races are so insanely satisfying. Monster cars head to head, love it.
2 things (lol)
1. Lets see that Sentra!
2. Dane revving the Hellgato with a dart in his hands. Outstanding
Had to get the Belmont in the shot y’know
Mustang has aggressive gearing probably a 3.73 which is to much for top end . Low trap speed , it needs a 3.55 or 3.15 to handle that hellcats trap speed
I agree
Yep. My roush has 3:73
Tuning and gear ratio played a roll in why the races kept ending the way they did. Hellcat had longer gears than the stang, stang is set up for a shorter run. I am a FORD man and always will be. But you gotta respect what Dodge did with those engines.
I really enjoyed this video . Please !!! Do the same Video with a 2021 Roush Stage 3 against a 2021 Shelby GT 500 . I have a 2020 RS3 and I’m dying to know how my car would do against a GT 500 of the same year and not an older 500 .
Exactly what I would like to see but no one wants to do it
Thanks for this Video . We own Roush Stage 3’s and I’ve wondered how these two cars compared to each other. Now then , Please Please do the same thing with the 2021 Roush Stage 3 against the 2021 Shelby GT 500 . The HP is only 10 different but the Torque is 45 difference. I’ve been looking for a video on this but only find the RS3 up against an older GT500 . I’m betting other Roush owners like me want to see this race .
So the car with 50 more HP, 20 more torque and weighs 250lbs less cant outrun its opponent. Something doesnt add up. I believe Roush really put in some warrenty tuning in the top of of that mustang. Looks like the Mustang hit a wall at a certain speed.
Heatsoak and inflated hp numbers. Roush MO lol
@@728GT Yeah Roush isn't the greatest you're better off going whipple.
@@someferarriguy7910 whipple don't offer the same warranty 3 year 30,000 miles ,right now whipple is over 12weeks back order . So going to whipple isnt that easy.lol
Yes something not right exactly what I was thinking
Had a guy in this exact mustang only red try to race me in my Challenger Scat Pack. I took one look at his Roush and new better. Managed to ask him at the Red light how much he paid for it...$94,000. I couldn't help but laugh. Nice car but way outta my price range.
Nice race guys!
Smart man lol but I still race knowing ima lose
Sam this was an excellent race this goes to show supercars are not the only stars but also these scary beastly machines man , and I'm Tellin ya that Roush is way better than Shebly mustangs , more durable and all you can go watch hoovies garage video regarding Roush mustangs and why they're better than Shelby's also Sam there is one special Roush mustang that you need to try and get and not only do a race with but also a full review with ,it's the P51 Roush Mustang that thing has had only 51 units made in the entire world , nevertheless I'm a Mopar guy and I'm proud of the hellcats performance against the this beast so as well against the R8 in the last video of course that was the Redeye I know but still these kitty cats are awesome 😎👍💪🇺🇸🔥🔥❤️❤️💯💯✌️ SOME OF THR BEST PERFORMANCE DRAG RACES IN ALL OF TH-cam THESE TWO RACES WERE!!🤜🤛.
Should’ve put the roush in track mode. That would’ve disabled traction control allowing for better throttle response and a better launch.
This is the most epic race ever seen
If that's a stock hellcat, that's pretty good to be neck and neck with a stage 3 mustang... but it would've been a clear difference in favor of Dodge if it was a redeye against the stage 3 mustang
The Roush isn't known for a great amount of power. Had that Mustang had a Whipple treatment, the Hellcat would've been skinned pretty handily.
@@lanemorrow7417 true but then a better comparison would’ve been the red eye/demon
The hellcat was pulling up top! Very impressive considering it’s heavier, less aerodynamic and less power! I say that hellcat has some work done to it
No, roush mustangs are just garbage. A gt500 would be an entirely different ballgame
@@cflgt500 I don’t know about that, gt500 is only 10hp more and less gears. And besides I went on the hellcat owners Instagram he claims 860hp

@@carlosolimon7513 😂😂😂
I've got a 2021 GT with a Phase 2 and you are correct about the shifting. If I'm in SPORT mode with the Roush tune it's rough and if I'm in TRACK mode it's undrivable in the city as my spine feels like I'm on the receiving end of a viking invasion. I'm sure you know what Toronto streets are like :)
Came all the way from Quebec to race! Wicked!
I have a 2014 ROUSH stage 3 phase 3 675hp and it's a beast.
Drag radial’s on mustang explains why that launch was sooo good, not sure what was on the Hellcat.
I had winter tires on lmao
@@Mr.BobbyHellcat balls of steel you have.. lol
Is this the roush mustang that the throttle body closes when the supercharger temps go up which makes you lose power and keeps temps high instead of cooling down
Seems as though the Hellcat had gearing better for higher speeds with reliable acceleration and the Mustang wants to leave like a bat out of hell but the gear ratios limit top end acceleration compared to the hellcat. Overall I would say the hellcat with lower numbers 2 gears less and heavier weight it still the quicker car down the run but a better driver could have changed this outcome. What do you guys think?
its the roush tune over 5k in 5thgear up pulls 8 degrees timing and it falls on its face
It's a proven fact, that with the 10-speeds, you are better off letting the computer shift for you.
Unfortunately the Roush blower for
Gen 3 coyote is the worst one to get out of all the blowers available for the
18-current mustangs. They have heat soak issues. Undersized Intercooler.
A Whipple or VMP Wouldn’t have let the Hellcat come back and close the gaps.
Looks like the kitty got neutered by 1.2 liters less.
I’m impressed by the Mustang. Seriously. We’re talking about a 5.0 L naturally aspirated against a 6.4 L supercharged. Come on that thing should’ve blew his doors off. Imagine putting a supercharger on that 5.0. It wouldn’t be a comparison. Say what you want about Ford man but they are on the top of their game when it comes to muscle cars. And they use a much smaller motor to do so. Kudos to Ford!!! First on race day as usual.
Love the sound of both these cars🔥🔥😲I don't actually know which one sounds best😂🔥
good race both good drivers but who is the best what is the best
Hellcat comes with a 2.62 rear gear, I'm curious as to what the roush has. Maybe the reason hellcat picked him up
3:73 on the ROUSH
@@woodysdrums8083 3:73 for manual….. it’s 3:55 for automatic
Should have had the hell cat in track mode. You need the 40millisecond shifts versus 60mil in sport.
Driver mod needed
Very impressive race! Thank you sir!
The mustang roush is a nice car but it’s tuned and the hellcat is stock. But dodge is something else. Especially the hellcat. The dodge is quite heavier than the mustang but it still kept a good race.
I drive a S60 3.0 Polestar Volvo. It's AWD and I wreck the 5.0 GT Mustangs whenever they line up. 400hp and 650 NM of torque. I pulled up next to one of these thinking it was a regular 5.0. It absolutely wrecked me and sounded magnificent while doing it. I still destroyed it around the first set of bends but on the straights it ruled #respek
Good video!! 10 speed really came in clutch for that mustang! Imma mopar for life tho!
This so tuff I’m undecided about which one I want🔥🔥🔥
I have a 13'GT must. Roush test mule it eats cats(from h_ll) it's been tuned at brenspeed 2 times over 750hp. Has 9,800 mi. A true show car 1 of from all I know. They Roush owned it since day one for 34mo.s
These cars sound so good.
The roush set up gets heat soaked after one run
That’s inaccurate info. That was the initial rollout on the 2018’s with the smaller heat exchanger and original calibration. The revised Phase 2 calibration and larger heat exchanger have made huge improvements.
@@johnthegaptist7794 Intercooler is still significantly smaller than the blow up designs from VMP and Whipple. It still gets heat soaked. Not enough room in the valley of a Gen 3 to install a sufficient blow down design.
@@AB-coyote no heatsoak issues wit mine and its a 2020
I own a 2021 Roush Stage 3, and in a drag race, the best setting is Drag mode with the 10-speed in its normal mode. Shifting the automatic into sport mode just messes it up. The sport mode is the same as selecting Sport mode. By doing so you hurt your times!
Wow that was entertaining! Second run hellcat driver was manually shifting looks like. What happened to the roush, the transmission doesn't upshift sometimes? Is that due to the tune
I was using racing fuel and i got a misfire about fuel quality that won’t let me take it higher than 7k rpm

Very interesting, guys pressing the gas on road cars, and admiring changes from changing sides. Wowwwww!!!!!!!
The problem is that it's Roush. Get a Whipple or VMP on there and have it properly tuned for the same max power and the Hellcat wouldn't stand a chance.

For some reason the mustang has great numbers on paper but just always falls short for some reasons idk why. But this was an amazing race between two big HP cars.
It's electronically limited to 155mph
Even if it was which it’s not that’s not the point I am making.
I’ve seen a few,”if the Roush had a tune” or certain mod, it would be over for the Dodge. Yeah, do the same for the dodge. The Dodge has more top end. If the race was longer the Dodge would simply walk the Stang with no problem. At higher speeds, the Dodge had no problem reeling the Stang back in.
I love my red 2019 Mustang GT. It is so sweet. Everyday is mustang day. Turns heads everywhere we roll. We live to torture Prius’s
wow!!! Hey you said semi slick ties. which tires are those. If they are a drag radial that makes a big difference. The hell cat have a semi slick? I know it sounds crazy but I imagine those cars could spin tires at 50mph on the roll also.
I’m hyped for dodge to release the ghoul package
I thought the Roush would walk the floor out of the hellcat at least two bus Length, I’m surprised 😮
I think in reality it would. My son's 21' GT with roush supercharger 10spd kills new hellcats , but hes at 800hp
Huh lookin at the top end you'd think the challenger was the more streamlined car 0_0 but its a square how's that possible?
Those were some good close races, I’d be curious to see the roush vs redeye
Oh yeah you read my mind , exactly what I want to see as well let's gooo!!! American muscle 💪.
Honestly that Roush get pulled on both from dig and rolling, the gearing, suspension and transmission tuning are worlds apart from the standard older Hellcats. Just the gearing ratio from a 2.62 to 3.09 will make all the difference. But man that Roush looks and reving is enough to win in looks department alone
2020 gt500 vs red eye
@@jerrymurillo5017 coming on this 2022
Imo if the roush was geared differently this would have been a lot less of a fair race
American muscle at its finest!!! 🇺🇸🏁
Would love to see both cars race with 6sp manuals, as true muscle cars should have manuals, separates the men from the boys imo. Great race though, enjoyed it!
I am so mad about Roush that that Hellcat will walk over it if they went a distance but I believe he can take that Hellcat on that track real good though these light enough
It’s because he can’t drive
Why didn't u use drag strip mode in the mustang? It firms up the shifts so much.
Older Hellcat is going to suffer on the launch because it isn't a wide-body with the beefier tires. A Hellcat Redeye Widebody would be more in line with price of the Roush.
Speed wise this race makes sense... the Redeye would easily beat this particular Roush
what is the outcome of the race?
Awesome video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🔥🔥🔥
Paddle shift/center console shift in manual mode every time. Full auto sometimes hangs. Proven fact manual shift with auto trans is by far best for faster time/quicker acceleration. Always sport, sport plus or track mode and traction control off. Sam this time did a much better reaction to hand drop.
Mustang needs a Palm Beach Dyno tune verses Roush. Missing out on power and transmission tune. Roush tune like a OTF tune for Ford so called warranty.
No surprise the Catt was making the pass in very first run. Roush tends to over state their kits power, and have done so since 2008. I'd estimate the Roush at 650 hp and 580 tq.
Something must not be right on the Roush cause I have a 2020 and have never even on 91 had a problem with a hell car I let them jump then reel them in like nothing even tuned with intake etc
that Mustang doesn't have 750hp. how's a heavier challenger able to start pulling on a lightweight more powerful Mustang in a drag and tie in a roll?
How does a car weighing 500# more w/ less HP pull a lighter higher hp car? I always thought Roush over rated their power.
Hellcat let's go!
All the mustang boys finna be mad calling them boats aint even the redeye challenger just normal hellcat vs 10 speed roush 😂 good driving guys !!
If it were the redeye widebody, mustang won’t even stand a chance.
Lol. The roush is a 5.0 with a supercharger. In other words you don’t need to spend hellcat money to go fast in a straight line. Money being equal put the hellcat up against a gt500.

Why don’t they ever use the 797 hellcat for drags??
Everything I know, and have seen, with Chrysler transmissions turns me off to any Chrysler product. As far as quality is concerned, I'll go with the Mustang every time! There is no discussion!
The best sport car is the Mustang, better than the charger, Challenger, and Camaro in general
Wow, a great video. Thank you!
So no drag mode in the s550? That's weird? The ecu allows for a little bit of slippage by adjusting timing, braking, and throttle respond to the traction control system and all you have to do is stay in it and point and shoot. I'm about to boost my 5.0 6speed premium package very very soon. Can't wait to see what it'll do. It's tuned by Lund now on flex fuel tune. Nice runs against the Hellcat. Can't sleep on those kitty cats especially with a driver who knows how to drive one.
You can tell the Ford transmission is NOT happy but it's still qwik. Good racing.
A better driver would change things. The car has a drag race mode for a reason. High performance cars need high performance drivers, not wannabes!
5.0 V8 supercharged mustang gave the 6.2 V8 supercharged hellcat a run for its money. The hellcat is only better at top end, but even so it’s ALLL the way at the end when the race is over👀 I’d chose the Roush over the hellcat anyday! Especially with the Roush being sold for 65k with only 2000 miles. If you like mopars go for it, but any car guy knows the mustang is the car to choose over the gas guzzlin Dodge.
Can I just say this, in a mustang there is a reason they have, Drag strip mode, and Line lock. Use it!
