Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 vs. Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye vs. Chevy Camaro ZL1 1LE - Drag Race

[@edmundscars]

Read all the performance data, specs, and testing notes from our drivers here: www.edmunds.com/ford/shelby-gt500/#related-articles To clear things up: We ran each car separately at our test track (off camera) with the same driver and better weather conditions and got the results you see at the end of the video. Do you think the outcome would change on a prepped surface and if each car had drag radials?

[@torque_eminal]

Ray Rocco are you stupid honestly. You say you’ve seen cars at the strip for years, yet expect a 700hp car on an un prepped road to grip. Wow. The difference between a prepped strip and an unprepped road is HUGE. There is not a chance in hell you’d be able to get any better results.

In conclusion, the three are incredible cars in all aspects, although they are not exactly the same or the same segment, as the years go by the differences between these three cars and their predecessors are increasing, the Camaro and the Mustang are now american sports cars with a muscle / pony appearance but with similar handling in several respects to european sports cars, more the Camaro than the Mustang, the Mustang is a bit more aggressive and less stable in handling than the Camaro, the Mustang still in handling looks like an American sports car, the Camaro has become an extremely easy to drive car considering what it was before, what a real muscle/pony car is, and that it is a tall american sports car performance, also between these two cars there is a marked difference in comfort and practicality, the Mustang is notoriously larger than the Camaro, on the other hand, the Challenger is practically punctual and apart, is the car that has remained true to its roots, both in handling, sensations, size, performance and appearance, thanks to that, as the years go by, the Challenger becomes increasingly special, striking and desired, the Challenger remains the only true muscle car that can be obtained today.

Its all got to do with the setup that your on of course! and one other thing the camaro ZL1-!LE is just as fast as the mustang around a track! (thats a true statement right there as well) for quite a bit cheaper! so its a no brainier to choose the camaro over the others for track racing! The camaro can do all of this with having the least amount of HP by a long shot! that alone is impressive!!! The mustang is great but it doesn't match up good enough to a ZL1-1LE when it comes to performance to price ratio... say all you want the camaro is a true trooper!
