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."
Crazy part is the C8 isn’t designed to be a drag car, it’s a superior road course car, that’s just so good it’s hard to beat it in a drag race as well lol. Could only imagine if corvette wanted to be a drag car what it would be capable of! Love these guys videos and this matchup, thanks for doing this.
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
Between Throttle House and Hagerty, you two are the best car media channels by far. Not even just the reviews, but the entertainment as a whole. Flawless.
Both are amazing examples of engineering, but that C8 redefines everything. Damn near 700 horses and naturally aspirated, from a small block. And it is a beast on the track, as well.
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.

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.
With its exotic car looks, drivetrain layout, crazy speed from a standing start to rolling races, oozes sex appeal, it's a no brainer. I'll take the Z06 all day everyday thanks!
EXCELLENT VIDEO. I love that both these vehicles exist today. Both are an excellent snapshot of each brands mentality/culture relative to the performance car segment. Awesome stuff.
THIS WAS ONE OF THE BEST THROTTLE HOUSE VIDEOS EVER. Absolutely excellent dig and roll race gentlemen. I watched this video more times then I'm willing to admit.
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.
Thomas, I am a Demon guy and one of the complainers in your past Demon challenges. This one was as fair as it could be. Most all of the demon capability was used (especially 840HP) and the best car won. But I would still pick my Demon for the reasons you displayed on the run. It's just comical to drive and it always puts a grin on my face. Throttle House is the best.
I'm a Chevy guy all day but I'm still amazed that the Demon didn't walk the Z06 in the roll race, especially since the Z06 is described by those who own it to "fall on its face on the top end". Well done GM!! I cant wait for the ZR1...it's going to be the KING of American cars for sure.
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

@@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.
Epic !!! You got to appreciate what Dodge and Chevrolet have built and is sold to the public!!! Both Demon and Z06 are truly amazing in performance and style. These two cars have really raised the bar for American built cars. I must say thank you to Throttle House for showing us all what these epic cars can do. 👍
Glad to see the Demon come close to getting a victory. I knew there was no chance from a dig... HP & torque do make up for the sin of weight once your rolling as long as you don't have to stop or turn... Good stuff guys! Many thanks!
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... 🤣🤣
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
The fact that the Z06 was able to keep up with the Demon in the roll race despite having less power and more aero just boggles my mind. I thought the Demon was gonna walk it. Just shows how insane the Z06 is. Just imagine what the Zr1 will be like.
@@Keyblade_warrior 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.
@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? 🤔
@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.
Maybe the Demon wasn’t faster but the smile on Thomas’s face while losing and the smile on James face looking at that big beast staying right with him on the roll race shows what the SRT platform is all about. You may not be the fastest on public road from light to light but you’re probably having more fun due to the raw power and adrenaline flowing through the car into you.
@@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.
@@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
@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.
I’d gladly take either of those cars but if I had to pick one, I think I’d still pick the demon, it may have a hard time putting the power down and I doubt it would be any good in the turns but for an everyday driver that u can still have fun in, I just think the overall driving experience would be more pleasurable. Like they said in the video, it’s an 800 hp couch, comfy and fun.
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.
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
I love both of these cars so much honestly! And thank you guys so much for putting this drag race together. I swear I was screaming for the Demon in the roll race and honestly thought it was going to win! What amazing cars
That was freaking awesome!! I definitely thought the z06 was going to do better on the roll race … Demon was moving and pulling on the ZO6 love the Demon it’s just a beast they both are !! Great video !!
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.
Yeah so far word on the street is the ZR1 will have a very conservative 950 horsepower and with full bolt-on mods plus race gas tune and straight piped exhaust with methane injection and an ice tank God knows how much power it might make we could see 1500 horsepower out of full bolt on ZR-1's, and the Zora will have the ZR-1's power plus an extra 350 or so horsepower from very high quality electric batteries for the front wheels.... so just try to imagine a Zora with full bolt-on mods, a straight piped exhaust, methane injection, an Ice tank in the trunk, and a dedicated race gas tune, with upgraded and strengthened transmission, because the Zora should have, word is about 1250 horsepower or more Factory bone stock..... so we're definitely going to see tuners boosting these to close to 2,000 horsepower with all-wheel drive, so it's going to get nasty out there, and just imagine when someone has a bored stroked stroker kit for the zr1 and Zora, which will take it even farther..
Zr1 could dethrone the sledgehammer corvette of the 80s and build the fastest vette ever to match its exotic nature. GM has the platform to go after hypercars now
@@jostrander71 I understand I'm just stating what I've heard from people who've either worked at Chevrolet corporate or at Chevy dealerships they're saying the actual horsepower is going to be 950 unless they just lie about it so that's what I've heard so far and also heard that's just on the standard 91 octane s***** pump gas not even 93 or 98 octane so God knows what the aftermarket tuners are going to do even with just full bolt on month and then remember you have to add at least a few hundred horsepower on top of that plus all-wheel drive to equal what the Zora's going to be able to accomplish which is just mind blowing not even including aftermarket modifications
So the demon has line lock and a trans brake so tou can build boost before you leave the line, which you didn't do when you tried to drag race. As fast as the Z06 is it doesn't beat the time of 9.65 in the quarter mile nor take the title of the quickest production car the the Demon now holds. It beat the previous record held by the 1968 Hemi Dart for 40 years. You can take your Z06 and drag race it ,you'll need your helmet but not a roll cage because your not dipping below 10 seconds in the quarter mile. I will say when they pan behind the cars the exhaust note says it all. The Dodge sounds like American power but the Vette sounds like a 12-cylinder european exotic super car. What a sound !!!!
Fucking love the passion you guys put in your videos. Thanks for amazin entertainment and hope you guys keep doing what you love. Sorry for the F bomb lol
@@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 latest 2023 Dodge Demon 170 will smoke the Z06. 0-60MPH in 1.66 seconds (worlds fastest production car record) 1/4 mile in 8.91 seconds ET at 151.17MPH. 1025HP and 945lb-ft of torque.
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
I’m really loving the corvette. As a European guy, we have a smugness about American cars handling like boats, but this car seems to have it all… and that sound!!
That stereotype is dead now. There's so many American cars that are track oriented cars like the 2020 Shelby GT500, Chevy Camaro ZL1 1LE, 2016 Dodge Viper ACR, 2022 Cadillac CT5-V blackwing, C7 ZR1, C8 stingray, and ect. There's so many now. Many are beating their European counterparts around the track now. Many American cars have now dual clutch transmissions too.
Many Europeans don't know much or kept up with Modern American cars to learn about them and ect due to bias nationalistic pride in their cars. Many don't appreciate American cars because of their origin of country. American cars have come a long way in the last 15 years in terms of handling and interior.
@@yusufgta4341It's because we aren't educated enough on the newer American sports cars simply due to the fact we do not get them or exposed to them outside of youtube.
I would like to see a 2022 or 2023 comparison from Dodge like their new electric SRT or a red eye and then do it again with the new computers and all that stuff
@@davsquaredo79 stop making excuses…nobody told Dodge to continue making those vehicles like that it’s too fat and got left behind take the L and stop complaining
I never see a demon win a race unless it's got drag wheels on, the track is prepped, the gravity is just right, the wind is low and the planets are aligned.
Aerodynamic and weight do play the major role here. The Demon did such a great job on that come back before passing the finish line considering it is heavy and sitting tall. The Z06 is no joke as well.
@@gaddyify unpopular opinion and I'm about to get roasted, I hate the wing on the z07 it looks like an unfinished child's toy I much prefer the ducktail on the regular z06 and the wing isn't even that big compared to stuff like the gt3 or black series or even cayman gt4rs
Power to weight, aerodynamic, engine placement, traction, suspension. Horsepower and torque mean little if not applied properly. With that being said, great race at the end.👍
I feel like this is kinda like the Chevy SS I owned vs the ScatPack I owned. If I was going to a track (with turns) or wanted to gas it off the line and get the power down easier, take the SS any day....but when it came to "smiles per gallon" the ScatPack had that in spades. Tire ripping, exhaust screaming, sideways fun.
Um, turn off texting control on the Z06 and you'll do the same thing. Once HP reaches over a certain amount, you're going to break the limits of tire grip, both of them shoot right past tire grip thresholds by at least 300+HP easily. Both can easily make you grin like an idiot breaking traction and leaving trails of smoke in tow, but only one of them can also be useful either at the strip or an actual race track. Why the hell do they not have bigger brakes on that Challenger, wtf kind of short sighted crap is that?!?
@@evilformerlys4704 It's just not that simple. Chassis design, suspension setups, weight distribution, choices in transmission and engine tuning along with the general characteristics of how different engines will bring on torque earlier or later. One car can absolutely be designed and setup to better put the power down than another car.

He still lost 🤷♂️

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'll take both cars, thank you
That Z06 is a monster.
Thomas, I am a Demon guy and one of the complainers in your past Demon challenges. This one was as fair as it could be. Most all of the demon capability was used (especially 840HP) and the best car won. But I would still pick my Demon for the reasons you displayed on the run. It's just comical to drive and it always puts a grin on my face. Throttle House is the best.
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.
The Sound of the demon is absolute incredible holy Moly :D
This is the third time I watch this randomly. Awesome vid!!
Omg Thomas trying to launch another demon. This should be fun. The last two times was hilarious
I'm a Chevy guy all day but I'm still amazed that the Demon didn't walk the Z06 in the roll race, especially since the Z06 is described by those who own it to "fall on its face on the top end". Well done GM!! I cant wait for the ZR1...it's going to be the KING of American cars for sure.
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

Epic !!! You got to appreciate what Dodge and Chevrolet have built and is sold to the public!!! Both Demon and Z06 are truly amazing in performance and style. These two cars have really raised the bar for American built cars.
I must say thank you to Throttle House for showing us all what these epic cars can do. 👍
Nice job on this.... Pretty cool seeing these two cars go head to head.
That roll race was SO GOOD!! I caught myself screaming at the screen, which is NOT me! Love how those two cars sound, btw. Great vid, guys!!
Glad to see the Demon come close to getting a victory. I knew there was no chance from a dig... HP & torque do make up for the sin of weight once your rolling as long as you don't have to stop or turn... Good stuff guys! Many thanks!
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... 🤣🤣

I’ve never seen the challenger winning a single drag race. Always losing against cars with over 100hp less
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
The fact that the Z06 was able to keep up with the Demon in the roll race despite having less power and more aero just boggles my mind. I thought the Demon was gonna walk it. Just shows how insane the Z06 is. Just imagine what the Zr1 will be like.
Not really when you realize the Z06 is almost 850lbs lighter 😳
@@adamgriffin But the demon have 170 hp more tho.
@@Keyblade_warrior 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.
@@Keyblade_warrior The Demon is heavier by 3.2 Lizzos to put it in perspective.
Vette is lighter, lower center of gravity, and more aerodynamic
Thank you this is probably the first video I seen a car reviewer run a demon in race fuel
"Gahhh there's so much adrenaline!! HaaaaICanFeelMuhHeadItHurts!"
How every viewer felt watching the roll race
That roll race was intense! I was on the edge of my seat! Old school muscle vs a super car! Let's see them both on a prepped track! Great job TH!
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 🥂
The Demon is a full size 5 passenger car. Very impressive!
Not gonna lie, GM knocked it out of the park with the C8. My favorite is still the C7 but gotta give props where its due.
Maybe the Demon wasn’t faster but the smile on Thomas’s face while losing and the smile on James face looking at that big beast staying right with him on the roll race shows what the SRT platform is all about.
You may not be the fastest on public road from light to light but you’re probably having more fun due to the raw power and adrenaline flowing through the car into you.
Absolutely positively right!
That’s what the stellantis sales manual says to say
I used to own a corvette. I now own a challenger scat pack. I love the scat pack so much more than the vette!
The Demon definitely requires more skill to race. I know it's a heavy dinosaur, but I was still rooting for it.
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
Super high energy and high production value. Great work you guys 👏
They Demon takes so much skill and time to launch correctly. People usually launch in 2nd gear and set the launch RPM to 1500, and it hooks well.
@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.
I love this channel... I very much enjoy the back and forth banter. You guys are Charming individuals, i'll tell you what...
Cheers!
I’d gladly take either of those cars but if I had to pick one, I think I’d still pick the demon, it may have a hard time putting the power down and I doubt it would be any good in the turns but for an everyday driver that u can still have fun in, I just think the overall driving experience would be more pleasurable. Like they said in the video, it’s an 800 hp couch, comfy and fun.
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.
This is the 2nd or 3rd video I seen where the Corvette Z06 smokes another car! Love it!!
The Demon was met for the drag strip and nothing more. But then again, this was seriously exciting. Thanks for posting this video.
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
I love both of these cars so much honestly! And thank you guys so much for putting this drag race together. I swear I was screaming for the Demon in the roll race and honestly thought it was going to win! What amazing cars
That was freaking awesome!! I definitely thought the z06 was going to do better on the roll race … Demon was moving and pulling on the ZO6 love the Demon it’s just a beast they both are !! Great video !!
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.
Can't wait to see you guys test this Z06 on the track
The more you compare other crazy cars to the C8 z06, the more impressed I am with it.
Swear to god it's literally insane 🤣
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS!!!..wow..ESPECIALLY BEING a VETTE GUY....AWESOME...
God, the sound from that flat-plane crank Z06...
Z06 is amazing, ZR1 will be unreal and the Zora will be godly
Yeah so far word on the street is the ZR1 will have a very conservative 950 horsepower and with full bolt-on mods plus race gas tune and straight piped exhaust with methane injection and an ice tank God knows how much power it might make we could see 1500 horsepower out of full bolt on ZR-1's, and the Zora will have the ZR-1's power plus an extra 350 or so horsepower from very high quality electric batteries for the front wheels.... so just try to imagine a Zora with full bolt-on mods, a straight piped exhaust, methane injection, an Ice tank in the trunk, and a dedicated race gas tune, with upgraded and strengthened transmission, because the Zora should have, word is about 1250 horsepower or more Factory bone stock..... so we're definitely going to see tuners boosting these to close to 2,000 horsepower with all-wheel drive, so it's going to get nasty out there, and just imagine when someone has a bored stroked stroker kit for the zr1 and Zora, which will take it even farther..
Zr1 could dethrone the sledgehammer corvette of the 80s and build the fastest vette ever to match its exotic nature. GM has the platform to go after hypercars now
@@johnmuzic3475 850hp is what the engine specs that were leaked. So far they have been right on everything. Of course that could change.
@@jostrander71 I understand I'm just stating what I've heard from people who've either worked at Chevrolet corporate or at Chevy dealerships they're saying the actual horsepower is going to be 950 unless they just lie about it so that's what I've heard so far and also heard that's just on the standard 91 octane s***** pump gas not even 93 or 98 octane so God knows what the aftermarket tuners are going to do even with just full bolt on month and then remember you have to add at least a few hundred horsepower on top of that plus all-wheel drive to equal what the Zora's going to be able to accomplish which is just mind blowing not even including aftermarket modifications
Will there be a Goron edition of the Demon...
So the demon has line lock and a trans brake so tou can build boost before you leave the line, which you didn't do when you tried to drag race. As fast as the Z06 is it doesn't beat the time of 9.65 in the quarter mile nor take the title of the quickest production car the the Demon now holds. It beat the previous record held by the 1968 Hemi Dart for 40 years. You can take your Z06 and drag race it ,you'll need your helmet but not a roll cage because your not dipping below 10 seconds in the quarter mile.
I will say when they pan behind the cars the exhaust note says it all. The Dodge sounds like American power but the Vette sounds like a 12-cylinder european exotic super car. What a sound !!!!
Don’t forget about the Z07 package has all that downforce. If it was a base Z06 it might have did better in the roll race
This was adrenaline pumping ‼️
More Throttle House 😁
I love both cars. Both designed for completely different purposes but still impressive even with all the downforce of the vette!
I love Thomas suffering with the amount of adrenaline he had hahaha! Love this channel

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

@@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.
The latest 2023 Dodge Demon 170 will smoke the Z06. 0-60MPH in 1.66 seconds (worlds fastest production car record) 1/4 mile in 8.91 seconds ET at 151.17MPH. 1025HP and 945lb-ft of torque.
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
I’m really loving the corvette. As a European guy, we have a smugness about American cars handling like boats, but this car seems to have it all… and that sound!!
That stereotype is dead now. There's so many American cars that are track oriented cars like the 2020 Shelby GT500, Chevy Camaro ZL1 1LE, 2016 Dodge Viper ACR, 2022 Cadillac CT5-V blackwing, C7 ZR1, C8 stingray, and ect. There's so many now. Many are beating their European counterparts around the track now. Many American cars have now dual clutch transmissions too.
I agree, the z06 really excites me , probably the most appealing sports car out there at the moment.
Many Europeans don't know much or kept up with Modern American cars to learn about them and ect due to bias nationalistic pride in their cars. Many don't appreciate American cars because of their origin of country. American cars have come a long way in the last 15 years in terms of handling and interior.

Aerodynamic and weight do play the major role here. The Demon did such a great job on that come back before passing the finish line considering it is heavy and sitting tall. The Z06 is no joke as well.
The Z06 with the Z07 package is a track car that big wing bring massive down force. Not ideal for drag racing. But it's still fast.

@@lovelehstuff That wing still provide 736 lbs of down force. Which hinder it's top speed in a drag race.
Power to weight, aerodynamic, engine placement, traction, suspension. Horsepower and torque mean little if not applied properly. With that being said, great race at the end.👍
Bro the new corvette ain’t no joke that car is freakin quick 🔥🔥
I feel like this is kinda like the Chevy SS I owned vs the ScatPack I owned. If I was going to a track (with turns) or wanted to gas it off the line and get the power down easier, take the SS any day....but when it came to "smiles per gallon" the ScatPack had that in spades. Tire ripping, exhaust screaming, sideways fun.
Um, turn off texting control on the Z06 and you'll do the same thing. Once HP reaches over a certain amount, you're going to break the limits of tire grip, both of them shoot right past tire grip thresholds by at least 300+HP easily. Both can easily make you grin like an idiot breaking traction and leaving trails of smoke in tow, but only one of them can also be useful either at the strip or an actual race track. Why the hell do they not have bigger brakes on that Challenger, wtf kind of short sighted crap is that?!?
@@evilformerlys4704 It's just not that simple. Chassis design, suspension setups, weight distribution, choices in transmission and engine tuning along with the general characteristics of how different engines will bring on torque earlier or later.
