I'm a Dodge guy too, the ZL1 is a great car but I always get a Challenger...car is a passion, my heart is with Dodge. GM and Ford do a good job but Challenger/Charger are for me the best

The best thing about the ZL1 is that it is even better known for giving the best sports cars trouble in turns on road courses too. Definitely carries Nurburgring records. Respect!

I own a '17 ZL1 and have beaten 2 Hellcats. No surprise here

@@yusufgta4341 it’s not much better the only thing that’s better is the fact it has 2 extra gears. Believe it or not the zf trans can hold more hp and tq stock over the gm/ford 10 speed in the upper levels of power. As they sit stock it does help I agree. And if given a qm like it was designed then the Camaro would lose. Do a roll race Camaro loses. Mod it stock motor and blower the Camaro loses. But yes stock 1/8 weight is just to much but at the drag strip it’s not it’s closer with prep to the 1/8. This is coming from somebody who ones one and has for 7 year. Also you never ever launch a hellcat on parchment paint it will spin every time. In any case the Camaro was the faster car in this video.

30/40/50 years from now folks will definitely be looking at cars from the years you stated as classics. The muscle car war’s definitely made a comeback.

Great video. I love both cars. I’ve had races with a stock A10 ZL1 versus my stock A8 717 HP Hellcat but did all my runs with it at the track from a dig and roll races with both of us on drag radials. In my experience both cars were pretty much hanging with each other and neither of them were pulling away from each other. They are pretty similar in straight line speed and whoever had the hit first took the win in a race. However on the street, with the Hellcats stock junk P-Zero tires like in this video, it’s very difficult to launch the car and gain traction. The Camaro has the better advantage with the better stock tires from the factory AND the Alpha chassis that helps put the power down better hence why the ZL1 quickly took the lead in this race. If this video were to only show races from a dig, a better comparison were to see both cars on a sticky tire to give each car a fair advantage.

@@barbell_7177 lmao this guy is just to upsessed with the cross symbol. He doesn't realize all the Camaro won was the 1/8th mile. Not like it was the 1/4mile that most races are. The fact that ZL1 is 39xx k pounds compared to the hellcat 4400lbs lol weight to power ratios. It's a good reason why that thing pulled off the line quick but in the video the guy mentions how the hellcat will reel in if it was the 1/4mile. Plus like you gave a good theory it is the tires that the hellcat has a hard time not spinning out. Even most experienced drivers can't seem to perfect the launch without the best tire setup on this car. I do agree the Camaro is a class of it's own and sure is a nice car. If it were me to choose a track car to do some quick laps of course the Camaro has the upper hand. But on a straight the hellcat isn't a pony it's a true muscle at the end of the day and it'll accomplish just that in drag races or off the line in straights. Every car has their characteristic built in them.

I love all muscle cars especially the Hellcat,Camaro,Cobra and Mustang.But I have noticed that the Hellcat is the measuring stick for all muscle cars,if you can beat a Hellcat you’re in the game or you have something worth having.So the way I see it all the other muscle cars made the Hellcat popular because it’s the measuring stick.

It’s a drag car dude. No excuses

Coming from owning a 17 ZL1 (6spd) Camaro for a few years, I can attest to how quick these things are both on and off the track (Big Willow 1:40.2 for non 1LE). However, if you're looking for a fun pony car that's both quick and can take the wife and kids around town for some fun, take the Challenger Hellcat. That thing has a HUGE back seat in comparison to the ZL1 along with a trunk that would probably fit a ZL1 with room to spare. Though the ZL1 is a better track weapon, no denying that, the Hellcat would be the better streetcar for the long haul. Great video otherwise.

We've advanced an insane amount. That 68 camaro had a 454(was stated in video and badged) and they didn't come with that powerhouse of a motor in 68. The 68 camaro all stock, which, this camaro wasn't, would get torched. It had larger wheels a larger motor(with more HP) etc. than it would've come with stock in 68. There's a reason cars like the new camaro are breaking records at tracks every year. We have cars like the c8 doing 0-60 in under 3 second stock nowadays. That wasn't even possible back in the 60's -90's without serious modifications. The advancement in cars is HUGE.

Good race both still great cars nice video

I love both cars , Great Video Gentlemen 🍺🍻.

ZL1 is designed with a fast and agile combo . With weight reduction and Chevy always does well when it comes to torque also

ZL1 is the only car I've driven that legitimately scared me. I was so careful. I've driven a ton of Hellcats, just don't spin the tires. The ZL1 feels like an absolute beast and is way better on an actual track as well. I didn't drive it on the track fyi.
