Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 vs. Dodge Challenger Hellcat vs. Chevy Camaro ZL1 - Muscle Car Comparison

Read all the performance data, specs, and testing notes from our drivers here: www.edmunds.com/ford/shelby-g...
What do you get when you have a Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 1LE, a Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye Widebody and a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500? The ultimate muscle car comparison.
The Camaro ZL1 and the Challenger Hellcat are established players in this space, but the arrival of the GT500 resets expectations from modern muscle cars. The ZL1 1LE is a hardcore racetrack-oriented beast, while the Hellcat Redeye has the bragging rights of 800 hp and comfort for the daily commute. What does the GT500 add to this trio? Watch and find out.
Ford Mustang Shelby GT500
The Shelby GT500 is a high-performance version of the Mustang coupe available in a single trim level. Essentially, a track-ready, street-legal Mustang, it has many performance features not available on the standard-issue car.
The expansive fenders contain wider wheels and tires to stick the car to the road better, while the front grille sized like a New York City sidewalk grate helps cool the hard-working supercharged V8 engine. The rear spoiler and assorted lower and side winglets also aid in directing airflow to press the car to the ground.
The Shelby GT500 appears well equipped to reassert itself as the top horse in the stable. Ford developed a new seven-speed dual-clutch transmission specifically for this engine and fitted huge 16.5-inch-diameter front brake rotors clamped upon with six-piston calipers. The adaptive suspension can adjust to various modes, including settings for track-day heroics or drag-race showdowns.

Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye
There aren't a lot of vehicles we consider to be muscle cars. The 2019 Dodge Challenger, with its outlandish horsepower and classic styling, certainly qualifies. Muscle cars are also known for their lack of practicality, but the Challenger bucks that trend by making fewer sacrifices in everyday usability thanks to its large trunk and relatively spacious rear seats.
The new 797-hp SRT Hellcat Redeye is basically the retired Demon but with a slightly detuned V8 and less drag race-specific hardware. There are also some changes in the supporting trims. All-wheel drive is now available on the base SXT, the Widebody treatment is offered on the R/T Scat Pack, and a new dual-snorkel hood increases Hellcat output by 10 hp. Some trims also come with fewer standard features and corresponding price drops.
Even without these latest changes, the Challenger would have remained one of our favorite vehicles in any class. It doesn't have the corner-carving chops of the Camaro or the Mustang, and we're quite fine with that. Not many cars have this kind of sinister style or performance that won't break the bank or overtly compromise your daily drive.
The Challenger may not be as fast or as responsive as the Mustang or Camaro, but it's always a hoot to drive. The Dodge's sheer size makes in-town maneuvering a bit tough (the wide-body fenders don't help), but meaty tires and upgraded suspension help with handling and body roll.

Chevrolet Camaro ZL1
The 2019 Chevrolet Camaro has been refreshed, with new fascias, front and rear lights, and some tweaks to trim-level equipment. But the only quality-of-life improvement is the upgrade to Chevy's newest and quickest infotainment system, the aptly named Chevrolet Infotainment 3. Nothing that makes the Camaro a tremendous performer and rewarding car to drive has changed, but nothing that makes it an unappealing choice for daily living has changed either.
Spend any time behind the wheel of a Camaro, and you'll quickly realize it's sharper and more purposeful than its American muscle-car rivals, especially when equipped with the 1LE package - an assortment of performance upgrades meant to improve handling, steering and braking. For 2019 models, Chevy has expanded the 1LE offering, making it available with all three engine options, including the turbocharged 2.0-liter. Unfortunately, the downside of the refresh is what didn't change. The Camaro still has a worthless back seat, minimal storage space, terrible outward visibility and some ergonomic problems.
In many ways, the Camaro feels like the odd man out in the American muscle-car trinity. The Dodge Challenger has stayed true to form and is basically a rolling couch you can equip with a 797-hp V8. The Ford Mustang, meanwhile, has turned into a solid all-arounder with broad appeal for coupe buyers. But the Camaro has become a true sports car with all the ups and downs that entails, essentially abandoning the traditional muscle-car traits except high-output V8 engines.

I love the GT500. Amazing car in every way. I can almost forgive Ford for not offering a manual transmission.

[@freddieredding4565]

I believe the reason why it doesn't have a manual is because they didn't have any manuals that could handle the power.

[@CarStory]

@@freddieredding4565 I wish they would have worked with Tremec to make one. They probably figured it wasn't worth the effort for the amount of people who would have wanted the manual.

[@dnsbb8033]

Freddie Redding i don’t think that’s the case buut reason they didn’t make it a stick was probably cause of how fast that dct shifts

[@CarStory]

@@dnsbb8033 Definitely a huge factor in their decision. Seems like manuals will be a thing of the past within the next few years. Maybe one day the manual transmission cars will go up in value?

[@batreview9600]

Car Story even my C5 corvette can out handle that over priced piece of shit Ford.

[@gamertube9918]

To do a proper burnout in an automatic Camaro you have to put it in launch control mode, and turn off stabilitrack.

[@explorewithmikaandkai2775]

Had all three been driven by a professional race car driver on the hot lap, I do believe the gt500 would’ve very easily had the fastest lap time.

[@savagetuner2404]

Your belief is irrelevant

[@sliknik1025]

Depends on the track really. ZL1 handles better (it has better chassis developed by Cadillac racing division, racing suspension, it’s lighter, better tires for the track), GT500 is faster (a lot more powah baybeh).

[@ANTOINE-dr2sn]

this reminds of an old episode of roadkill where carlos was invited and they had to start with a burnout for distance

[@Fee.1]

Carlos you think the zl1le lmnop is better than the previous z28 for track use?

[@JerseyMikeP]

It's ALOT Better in the 1/4 mile and on a Track. Zl1 1LE is 3.52 sec Quicker/faster around the Short Laguna Seca Track than the last Z/28.

[@Fee.1]

JerseyMikeP mostly due to the supercharger ? Which is more fun/more of a drivers car? That z28 was basically a dedicated track car so while the zl1 might be faster I’m not sure which I’d take

[@arnoldkeen6393]

That was fun to watch. Thank you all for the heavy chuckles.

[@JM-it2zo]

Awh cause it still lost? 🤣

[@OIR339]

@@JM-it2zo These tests prove nothing other than the hot lap. The only 2 seater car is the most practical one? The exhaust test proves that one car can rev higher at idle. A drag race would've proved something too but a half an hour and a $300 pulley kit and you just found yourself the winner. They're all shitty to drive compared to "normal" coupes. They all make too much power for the average joe to use on the street either too. These cars are the reason EV's are taking over, and trust me I hate EV. Factory forced induction on almost every car ruined cars. If it weren't for EV, and maybe DOT, these cars would be coming with factory NO2 kits in a few years.

[@lovethesmellofracefuelinth7374]

For burnouts, line lock is a must if you like doing them often. Mainly because it saves the brakes from burning up, and is just the right way to do it. We added it to my Challenger SRT8 and really rips it up, but is not connected to the hydraulics and is the plug-n-play zauto burnbox. Which simply connects right into the OBD port, and is one of the best innovations ever created for the automotive performance world. I like all three machines, but Dodge is the last true muscle car out of them all and most people agree with that fact. The Mustang and Camaro are both very good handling cars, but I didn't buy a muscle car to drive at Laguna Seca and is the best all around machine of the 3

[@scarbourgeoisie]

After watching this, I have to wonder why many people pine for old muscle cars from the 60's? Given this trio of beasts and their exuberant performance, all I can say is that we are living in the best of car times: gobs of HP, great brakes, safety equipment, and they don't stink of exhaust and raw fuel. Good times indeed.
