In a thrilling showdown, a formidable Challenger Hellcat Super Stock goes head-to-head with its ultimate rival, a Mustang GT500, and emerges victorious with a significant lead. Clocking in at 8.93 versus 11.15 seconds, the victory speaks volumes about the Challenger’s prowess on the dragstrip.
Documented by Wheels drag racing vloggers and YouTubers, the race highlights why Dodge chose the formidable Hellcat moniker for this spirited Challenger. Adorned with bold lettering and cheered on by the speedway announcer, the Challenger Super Stock lives up to its name, leaving the GT500 trailing behind from the start.
While the Dodge benefits from slicks compared to Ford’s street rubbers, there’s more to its dominance than just tire choice. Even against other competitors, including the GT500, the Challenger demonstrates consistent performance, showcasing its exceptional capabilities on the dragstrip.
However, the Challenger’s reign faces a surprising challenge from an unassuming Dodge Magnum, a boxy station wagon that gives the Challenger a run for its money. Despite the Magnum’s unexpected performance, the Challenger maintains its superiority, albeit by a narrower margin. With impressive elapsed times and top speeds, the Challenger’s launches are particularly noteworthy, cementing its reputation as a force to be reckoned with on the dragstrip.
