"It's a clash of two very different drag racing philosophies at Island Dragway! This video captures an incredible 1/4-mile drag race between the high-tech Corvette E-Ray and a monstrous Dodge Hellcat Challenger.
This isn't just a horsepower battle; it's a test of traction. The E-Ray, with its 655 horsepower and all-wheel-drive system, is running on its stock street tires (540 treadwear!). It's built for an explosive, high-grip launch. Its opponent, the 717+ HP Hellcat, has sacrificed street-ability for pure drag strip performance by running on a set of super-sticky drag slicks.
Will the E-Ray's AWD launch prove to be an insurmountable advantage? Or will the Hellcat's massive top-end power, finally able to hook up, reel in the Corvette by the finish line?
Find out who wins in this epic battle of street vs. strip, AWD vs. RWD, and hybrid vs. HEMI!
