The Camaro, a non-ZL1 variant, faces the mighty Hellcat, creating an electrifying contrast not just in performance but also in aesthetics. The bright orange Camaro and the vivid green Hellcat make for a visually striking combination, perfect for a summer showdown on the quarter-mile dragstrip. Both cars, equipped with parachutes, hint at the sheer power and speed about to be unleashed.
As the race begins, both drivers showcase their expertise, launching their vehicles head-to-head down the track.

The result is a breathtaking race with the Hellcat completing the run in 8.536 seconds at 160 mph, while the Camaro follows at 9.239 seconds and 149 mph.
