I’m a Dodge guy, but a fan of all muscle car brands. Chevy Camaro ZL1 is a beast , much respect to that machine. Both cars are gems, no matter who wins or loses in a race. I’d take the both of them,and make them family!!

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!

Obviously 67 more HP isn’t enough to make up for the much bigger/ heavier Hellcat. That Camaro looks cool as hell too.

Thanks to the last 7 years (2015-present) I no longer feel like I missed out on the greatest time to be alive.. the muscle car era and horsepower wars of the late 60's to 71. Ours was even better. Thank you Chevy, Ford, and especially Dodge for bringing that Hellcat to life in 2015.

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

Camaro is far better looking and can do more than just go in a straight line. Give me the ZL1 every time

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.

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.

That classic Camaro actually did better than I thought it would. 😄

at the end of the day both are hell of a beast american cars💯

1/8th of a mile ? Come on, the Hellcat is just getting warmed up. Everybody knows the ZL1 wins on the short....both great cars.

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.

Dodoe just came out demon 1025 hp 0-60 1,66 sec 8.9 quarter 151 mph sick

Actually surprised the '68 came in that close.

I just have a 22 1SS , super fun to drive I can only imagine the power the ZL1 has.

2 badass cars right there. Wish I had them both 🤘

I have a 17' Artic Blue stock A10 ZL1 but I still have respect for the hellcats, well done!

ZL1 IS the Heir to the Mad Max Interceptor throne.

Good race both still great cars nice video
