Hennessey Supercharged H700 C8 Corvette VS Stock C8 // DRAG + ROLL RACE COMPARISON
How does Hennessey's supercharged H700 Corvette C8 Stingray performance upgrade (708 HP) compare alongside a stock Chevrolet Corvette C8 Stingray (495 HP) in a drag race and a roll race? We headed to the Pennzoil Proving Ground for some answers and a mid-engined showdown.

Would be cool to see it go up against a c8 Z06
That is the only race worth seeing It's hard to care about modified versus bone stock it should be faster
Frm the races I've seen I'd say this easily beats a Z06. The regular stingray jumps out in front of the Z but the Z pretty easily overtakes it but this Hennessey takes the stingray frm start to finish. I'd like to see tht race too.....
Yup boost and .7 liters of displacement will win imho
. 7 more I meant
Agreed 👌
Should have raced it with a z06 to prove why it's worth to get this over that
Several thoughts - if Hennessey wants to compare the H700 performance to a C8 ZO6 why not do the same test H700 vs C8 ZO6? The drive train loss in almost every dyno test of a C8 (and C8 ZO6) is 11%. Hennessey's own dyno test of a stock C8 in their comparison shows 11% loss. So how does a 708 HP engine only make 573 HP on their own chassis dyno? Think about this - that's a 19% drive line loss? BTW 573/.89 (11% loss) = 643 HP ??? No drag strip numbers posted? Inquiring minds want to know. Real question - does the $35,000 package include half shaft and DCT clutch upgrades? Thanks and look forward to a reply.
Very interesting to compare with procharger, lingenfelter, Callaway all have supercharge kits I was leaning more towards Callaway because of the warranty they offer all are 20+ grand plus shipping there and back pretty pricey,but with the Z06 being made with unobtainium and vicious markups I'm thinking more of supercharging my z51.
Supercharged vs twin-turbo next?
run it with the e ray
I would rather see it against the z06, because I think the larger V8 that is super charged is better than a smaller high revving engine
Same
Seems like an awesome package however is the final product gonna look like that when you open the hood? Or is that just a demo place holder I would hope the final product looks good especially for customers who want show off the engine
This is nice. I'm considering the Lingenfelter setup as I prefer the 2650.
It would be nice to see you use launch control on both vehicles. Im curious if the supercharged version could launch better than the stock version. This comparison did not clarify how Launch Control is affected.
Nice little whine.
True
“Little”
Race another 700 horsepower car. Great video and content, as always, and keep up the great work .
I would love to see that H700 go up against a stock Lamborghini or McLaren 👍🤷♂️ grate video as usual 💪
Huracans would be good
Sounds awesome!
I love c8 lot and Hennessy keep up the good work and I love the video 👏 👍
So what is the Hennessy doing in the Quarter, low tens?
Amazing
The real concern is your dyno runs do not support a 700hp engine, showing at 573 at the wheel, thats a 130 loss in drive train. But stock the C8 is 495 at the engine and typically sees 440-460 at the wheel. Thoughts on this?
I was thinking that is seemed like a 150 hp difference.
He’ll let me get behind the wheel I tear some stuff up ! Thanks for sharing
35k for a supercharger and catback 🤣🤣🤣 they're high
@@nicklovely6431 their warranty is crap if you read it. They will not cover anything on the vehicle if they suspect it has been driven in a performance manner i.e. racing or any burnouts. Their warranty really only covers failure of the supercharge/turbo and components associated to that. However, that's really a warranty by the original manufacturer of those components. Therefore, I would not rely on their "warranty" However, you can buy a procharger setup and cutback and have a legit corvette tuner do the work for about 23k or so 🤷♂️ and they have a warranty as well. However, you can race with those and not be denied.
would be better if u make intake mainfold looks better than a pan
Sounds awesome. How about against with turbo S or GTR Nismo?
it sounds crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This would be better if you posted speeds and add a Z06 to the comparison
I notice each one is not using launch control and leaving at idle basically. Also makes me wonder if one or both is under the 500 mile break in period because both sounded like they were short shifting. If they both leave at idle and both over or under the break in it is fair but if one is under and other is over break in period it makes a big difference. Here in Vegas (LVMS) the difference of break in period to non break in period is almost .5 and launch control is another .4 so there is almost an entire second difference in ET
might just have to get mine worked on by you guys
If you can afford it it would be fantastic
Ayyy its my favorite nick/her
@@poke6983 📸
Don't go with HP, go with lingenfelter. More reliable and better packages. And they don't have all the lawsuits like HP😳
We both know you don't have one.
2:51 how does everyone feel about the geometric look? Welds are pretty but I’m not sure I like it’s appearance
z06 at katy westside y’all could buy to possibly test out !
How much, and is Texas the only place for installation?
Sounds way better too.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💯
@Hennessey Do you have Numbers for 0=60 time or 1/4 mile times? I see a lot of things producing horsepower but time are crappy.
Exactly. GR Supra is still the best one for price and modification price
Heck YES!!!! Horsepower + Smooth driving = WINNNNN! Well done!
Is this a procharger kit? It looks identical
What’s the 0-60 times on th H700? Looks like it’s MOVING
That whine sounds incredible to say the least!! 👍
I’m sure y’all are gonna love the e ray
Centrifugal supercharger sounds badass, sure beats a twin screw type setup...and always gonna sound better than a turbo because you don't have to kill the exhaust setup
Does it Dyno at 700 wheel or crank?
That's crazy......💪
W camera man
34k for a supercharger since when did they got so expensive!!?
Any one know what the difference in MPG is? Just curious
Why not use launch control from a Dig?
How come you didn’t do launch control?
What’s are the times tho?
How much is package?
Love that supercharger wine! I miss my Lightning.
How much is this package??
I wanna see this H700 vs a Z06 in Edmunds' U-Drag
Yes please put that up against the C8 Z06
Based off the video I've seen this gap was pretty much the same as the one between the new Z06 and the C8 Sting.
Corvette supercharged vs mustang venon
So where are the numbers?
Would be cool to see it against a ct5 v blackwing caddy
How does Hennessy handle the encrypted ecu that utilizes rolling code which is will never be cracked?
The ECU is flashed with a tune from ProCharger. We just upgraded our car to stage 2 and saw results of 639whp or about 720Hp to the crank.
@@ParagonPerformance , thanks for your reply. It’s great to know they’re doing a bench flash. There’s over a million lines of code in the ecu. Do you know if they are replacing all of the code? Also, do you know if the code is reversible? If not, the ecu would have to be replaced if the procharger was ever removed. The hp gains are amazing!
@@jmos96 No clue what they are doing besides a flash.
Is the Supercharged engine a 6.2 or is that a Z06 5.5 with a supercharger? What’s the price tag on the SC model?
6.2
The price price of a new C8 then another $50k to Hennessey
Vs Z06, Thats what I was expecting in this video
I'm so jealous of that track
I never know where to go to drive without dealing with other cars 😩
Stock C8 continues to impress. Very apparent here is the effect of the increased torque numbers of the SC car.
i thought the gap would be larger with a 200+HP advantage.
You have to see what the power curves are also. Remember, that's just peak horsepower compared to peak horsepower. The rest of the time, it's making less than 200 more.
@@jkeithv65 but that will only affect the beginning of first gear, after that they will remain in the power band between 7k and 8600k rpm. i would love to see an overlay of the dyno sheets.
how much for HTC version? And how much faster than Z06 C8??
would really love to know what it does in the 1/4 mile
@@nicklovely6431 that's barely faster than new z06
0-60?
Just ordered one for my C8 I thought it would walk it harder from a roll.
It’s an unprepped track, it would just spin if they launched harder. Edit, nvm, I see what you mean.
Same tires?
How much
Love do see it go against a mach1 with a supercharger on it ,
How much ? Is it a package or we need provide the C8
You would have to provide your own car.
Should be doing vbox or draggy times with how well put together the vids be…
Will it fit in the convertible?
No
you need to raise the stock power of the standard equipment for all versions 550hp not comme il faut otherwise it’s not a competitor to almost any sports car
Do a road course.
I'm surprised the black one isn't the Hennessy. 😐
OK, Alex, at the beginning when you were messing with your hair, did you suddenly realize you had the rearview mirror in camera mode and couldn't see yourself? Not that I've ever done that. 🤣
Is there any reason you don't have it up against a Z06?
Why show it getting beat?
After the initial gap, it didn’t seem to pull much after that.
Hmm. With a supposed 200+ more hp it should of gapped the stock car way more especially from a roll. I'd like to see a dyno test
Was that not a big enough gap for you?
I'll keep my stock C8..... Nice content though ......
1:22 first drag race
4:20 3:32
That last run was much closer. heat soak.
Give the stock one the hit and outcome will be much closer. Rolling wasn't that much of a gap.
I’ll be the Debbie downer: - hope the finished supercharger doesn’t look like that considering it’s on display. - either the supercharged driver was jumping the starts or the regular C8 driver has a slow reaction time. - Having the regular C8 on charge up to 1K RPM is foul. That car is capable of hooking up at higher RPMs. Either way the supercharged car would win all of these but these little thing’s certainly exaggerated the gap of victory.
Fixes hair for Hennessey Performance car video lol. I am not here for you I am here for the cars!
A beautiful muscle car😜😜😜
sand bagin for a sale... we would have all bought it anyways. the warranty alone makes it worth it
Should have put a draggy on them
Sound like a turbo Ed hellcat
Not sure how you can be surprised a car with 30% more power put that gap on .... that a lot more power.
This car looks like it performs better than c8 Z06, because the c8 z06 the line against a c8 stingray, they're even for like 5 seconds. This supercharged stingray wins off the bat
I swear(which I don't) I want the new vette so bad. And I want the almost 1000hp package by Hennessey. The vette has got me looking 😒 at lambo/ferrari It's so nice(the vette).
You can get a 1000 hp with a twin turbo set up for a lot less than a Lambo/Ferrari, and a significant cheaper running costs. But, are you really looking at a 1,000hp Lambo/Ferrari, those are million dollar cars. Not quite the same market as a C8.
I love it. Wanted a Z06 but now I want H700
Why dig from 1000 rpm and not use actual launch control?
I was curious as well about that. Doesn't make much sense. It seem as its to play into the strengths of they're package.
@@marg5905 Or they didn't want to smoke the clutch on video. I bet they didn't even bother putting a stronger one in.
@@stevend3753 The "clutch" is a dual stack of wet clutch disks internal to the transmission, no smoke to be seen. The weak link at these power levels is the drive axles.
With minimal mechanical skill, you can save 10k and do your own supercharger upgrade . I guess the c8 crowd might be the wrong group to say that in, but for an old gearhead , that's what makes that gap on the stocker fun. In a straight line, I'd put my old 72 camaro up against any of the c8 cars. Its no drag car and built to handle well too, but outclassed by the modern chassis on a road course . 3250lbs and over 900rwhp from a heads/cam ls3 on 18lbs of boost from a single turbo would imbarrass them on the straights. Not trying to brag , just stating the unfortunate change in the mentality of car guys in the last 20 years . Great machines though. Hating the thought of the end of an era where visceral cues will no longer be a part of going fast . You can keep the electric RC cars. Very fast as they are , they have no soul . A sad end to an era of man and machine , blended into a creation of their own making.
The gap isn't worth the price of the Hennessey kit. Just like the Eray with same engine as a Stingray isn't worth it with the boat anchor motor in front.
when u say boat anchor motor in front are you talking about the electric motors up front?
This doesn't mean anything without times
My 97 Mustang would rock that
Post your 97 & tag Hennessy. I would live to see a street beef settled properly.
@@boywonderrr71 well it’s being built number one.. it will make like 400 more whp than this. And I’m in Canada bro. But it would be really cool to do that
I'll pace you while I'm ahead of you, but we'll still go on your third honk. 😂🤣
My c8 Is still at the store but I plan on putting real tornadoes in my pocket
Absolutely love these cars ,, but both are fast enough with out anything done to them to get in big trouble with the party poopers 🚔🚓🚔🚓,,
Both on 91 octane I assume?
Hennessey is in Houston, so it would be on 93 octane if they aren't using race fuel or meth.
@@DoobieKeebler28 I would like to see the same race, but here in az, on 91 octane. I bet the race would be a lot closer.
