Stock Lamborghini Huracan Drag Races Hennessey C8 Corvette, Lambo Starts Slow

But how does the C8, Chevy’s new interpretation of the Corvette, holds its own against a monster such as the Lamborghini Huracan?

There’s no shortage of videos showing the Vette drag racing pretty much everything with wheels, from Mustangs to Cadillacs and from Jeeps to Supras. And the general results are pretty satisfying.

In the video attached below you’ll see the C8 pitted this time against the Huracan. The American-made machine is somewhere between stock and the early stages of full tune, being fitted with a Hennessey stainless steel exhaust and lightweight wheels with Hoosier race tires. The Lamborghini, on the other hand, is pure stock. But that barely shows.

There were two runs conducted by Hennessey, one with the two cars starting their run from a standing position, and the second one from a rolling start from 40 mph (64 kph). It both cases, the first few seconds are surprising, because the driver of the Italian car doesn’t seem to give his best.

In run 1, from a standing start, the Lambo is left severely behind by the Corvette in the first few seconds, only to accelerate and overtake it moments later. The same seems to be happening in the second, rolling start run, when the C8 again shoots off like a champ only to lose ground rapidly as the finish line approaches.

We are not officially told who won the two runs, and we are being asked to answer this question ourselves, but for what it’s worth it seems pretty obvious the Huracan still is the faster machine overall. Then again, Hennessey is working on a souped up variant of the Vette, so expect this to not be the same for long.
