I have not raced any hellcats yet
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!!
They not ready for that people egos are too much
Yes indeed they are both great experiences to have
I might get that ZL1
I agree!!
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!
Obviously 67 more HP isn’t enough to make up for the much bigger/ heavier Hellcat. That Camaro looks cool as hell too.
Yup! Weight is always a factor people tend to forget 😎
Bro you have more hp
Weight can be a problem but it's the superior transmission in the ZL1 that gave it the win. The 10 speed automatic in the ZL1 is much better than the ZF 8 speed automatic in the hellcat.
Transmissions play a crucial in drag racing too
@@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.
I own a '17 ZL1 and have beaten 2 Hellcats. No surprise here
🔥
But that GT500 will leave you.
@@zachwachs7913 not the same year
@@AnkhsZL1 any year.
@@EPICYELLOWHORSE you mean the hellcat barely stuck with the ZL1. A redeye will barely beat the ZL1 but that's pushing almost 800hp smh.
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.
Well said!🤘🔥
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.
Camaro is far better looking and can do more than just go in a straight line. Give me the ZL1 every time
PFFFT You have bad taste
Better car in every aspect except you can’t see anything in a Camaro.
Actually surprised the '68 came in that close.
It doesn't in real life, they made it look closer for public relations.
@@danielfair4675 lol sure
@@danielfair4675 Those old cars only weigh around 3200 Lbs., they're quicker than you think, especially with some modern technology under the hood.
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.
i wood not buy either car 4 haulling a family around in...LOL
@@scottbarker9058the Challenger fits adults in the backseat no problem but I wouldn’t make it a daily routine because the front seats have to be scooted up. Mustang and especially Camaro backseats are just there for decoration.
If you’re just driving around smaller kids or teens in the back it’s perfect, but the 4 door Charger exists for a reason.
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.
Muscle cars been muscle cars back in the 60s tf
That classic Camaro actually did better than I thought it would. 😄
and looks better
Doubt it's stock...
Sounding like an avarage hellcat enthusiast 😂😂. A loud whine doesnt mean its fast
@@ChicagosM0stWanted its stock lol
@@ChicagosM0stWanted Clearly. The 454 did not exist in 1968. It must not be too slow though to even stay in sight of the ZL1. That's no pickup truck engine in the '68.
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.
Great insight/information right here! Just goes to show how important racing/drag tires are! 💪
You do realize by mentioning that the ZL1 has a better chassis that you just admitted that its a better. Car than the Dodge right?? I mean you're struggling against a car that has 67 less HP than the Dodge and from your own words... the struggle is consistent!😎
@@hpmetabolics7558 The ZL1 “IS” the better well rounded performing car. I have no problem admitting that. I’m fully aware of it’s capabilities. It’s an awesome car and I’m a Hellcat owner. So whats your point?
My own words are based off my experience when racing it (especially when both cars have a sticky tire in the rear). My own words also states that the ZL1 does have better advantages against the Hellcat with a better chassis as well as better tires as opposed to the Hellcats outdated chassis and less desirable factory tires.
Here are two videos of the two cars that are both stock, automatic and with sticky tires racing from a dig and from a roll.

@@barbell_7177 I'm just digging atcha as a former fox body owner twice over... no fun if we don't talk 💩 about the different models! Love the looks of the Challenger but that ZL1 is a Moro!
@@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 just have a 22 1SS , super fun to drive I can only imagine the power the ZL1 has.
headers and chip , and a K&N will make that SS up around 540HP
@Jag Mag dude no it won't 😂 I have an ss and a zl1. You definitely aren't picking up that much power with just those mods. You MIGHT make that with fbo but I really doubt it.
at the end of the day both are hell of a beast american cars💯
Yes, well said
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.
It’s a drag car dude. No excuses
Dodoe just came out demon 1025 hp 0-60 1,66 sec 8.9 quarter 151 mph sick
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.
all cars in this video are amazing, but the real winner is actually the winner for a change.
Although the 68 is AMAZING considering the year. And can you even imagine how it was in 68 to have such firepower?
We have not advanced *that* much in 54 years.
Thank you for a wonderful upload.
Hello from England 👍🍺🇬🇧
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.
I have a 17' Artic Blue stock A10 ZL1 but I still have respect for the hellcats, well done!
That color bro, that color! Reminds me of that Blue that came on the ole M3s
2 badass cars right there. Wish I had them both 🤘
💪💯
Good race both still great cars nice video
I love both cars , Great Video Gentlemen 🍺🍻.
ZL1 IS the Heir to the Mad Max Interceptor throne.
Man I know the Camaro got it every time but that challenger look clean. I joy ride more than I would race. I would take that hellcat all day
ZL1 is designed with a fast and agile combo . With weight reduction and Chevy always does well when it comes to torque also
The Camaro is definitely the Better of the two with all the options for the price ! Awesome love to have it ....Some day !
No doubt!
That 68 didn’t do too bad for an all motor car.
Not once did you mention the ZL1s 600 lb weight savings from the Challenger. A measly 70 hp isn't going to make up the difference in weight there. A more even comparison would be a Hellcat Redeye widebody honestly. Regardless good video I like the multiple angles
bro what? bro sound dumb.
bro they are the same price range. plus the only point of a hellcat is to go in a straight line and it still loses to a camaro which beats supercars around the nurburgring!
Edit: there are 2000 pound cars with 100 hp.
@@alexsalazar5161 lol fr
@@alexsalazar5161 the zl1 will dust the hellcat in a straight line, it’s better performance wise in every way.
Don’t compare a Redeye to a ZL1 Compare a Redeye to a ZR1 corvette 👍🏼
was waiting for the 1/4 mi pull to happen...
that 69 454 Camaro was rated at about 450 HP SAE. Could be underrated. Still can't run with 650 HP Net.
Awesome time to be a car guy!
😎
Say what you will, the 68 Camaro is the coolest of them all
😉 Damn hard to beat that's for sure 💯
Agreed…especially with a Rat under the hood!
Two supercharged V8 beasts battling it out for ultimate bragging rights.✌
There's a weight difference I'm still going with the hellcat
amazing!!
That drag strip though 😁
Awesome:)
Give that 68 camaro a 8 speed trans also. Keep the power band right where it's always most powerful.
Dam bad ass machine's 🔥🔥
Totally agree!🔥
Was the 454 68 Camaro running on dual quads with a 4 speed manual? What kind of gas is in these cars? The 454 is built for leaded gas.
I didn't know Zl1s came with 325s in the rear. It would be nice if Dodge could give a Hellcat a chance to hook up.
Another cool feature in the ZL1 is the no lift shifting.
Both Camaro and dodge challenger are my love ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ mostly dodge lover love Camaro too because there like Twin brothers
ZL1 rules 🏁🇺🇸…just press the button and the magic starts 🪄🎩
Straight A to B is ok however...The ZL1 handling to me is the real benefit
How do they get off the line so well without lighting up.
Both cars are awesome but I still prefer my Hellcat Super Stock.
Depends on the driver!! There especially!! Both are Great!!!
Put a supercharger into that 68 Camaro and run that again.
Having battled the 5th gen camaro and now it's offspring, the Challenger is official OG muscle car of the duo.
🔥💯
@@kkoch666 If you think about it Dodge is the proverbial 🐐 since they've alwaysed been the cool kids, and they made the Ram; every single pun intended there.
2013 zl1 with the race package is a lot faster than the newer ones
Both are so nice
So cool!
Thanks! 😅
You have a great camera presence, fluid, relaxed, reserved.
I have a 2022 ZL1 and it is by far the most fun car I’ve owned in my 69 years. I love ripping through that 6 spd on a country road.
Or stoplight…
😎
zl1 is the most gorgeous hot sexy muscle car ever, i hope they bring out a new model lets see what GM can do to future camaro and power
GM Chevy is not making no more Camaro’s after 2024
🤣 I wouldn't hold your breath. Once again the Camaro is bowing out. Maybe they'll regroup and rereappear in 2030?
I had 2 454's, and a 427, neither of those as they are would touch the 427
how do i enter the contest ?

That’s some no prep racing right there!!
❤ dream car is the zl1 1le but i want to convert a 50th anniversary into it.
The Camaro won because it's geared differently. The Challenger has a final drive ratio of 2.82 vs the Camaro's 3.73
Actually it’s a 2.62
@@boostedhemi7118 even worse.
Wider, stickier rear tires FTW. That was the deciding factor between these 2 beasts
🔥
Correct but this was a Chevy advert, they all know Dodge wins, but they rig em to look good, the Dodge will always have the tiny tires, "the Dodge wont launch or grab" well no shit it is blasting out power, put some big tires on it and watch, but they don't wanna show the vids of getting dusted, but hey they are all at the click of a mouse here and it is glorious.
I can just imagine both cars even horsepower + grip this would be more interesting 🤔🧐
Nah the Camaro is definitely taking the crown with even power
Zl1 would still win. And why imagine both cars with hp & grip? Their built for different uses
they are both great msucle cars very aggressive look
What about roalling race😙?
🤔 How do I enter to win? 🤔
head on over to freedomstreetgarage.com/ to get entered!!🤞
I wish they would keep the Camaro but give them more power.
we're giving the ZL1 +$10,000 away after the official close date (January 8th). winner can definitely do upgrades with that cash if they wish!
How do I qualify for the Camaro zl1 ?

You're not gonna win bro lol
Camaro fan , but Challenger where always my second favorite over the charger 💯🔥
The zl1 is on a league of its own
Let's not forget the narrow body hellcat has 9.5in rear wheels and the zl1 has 11in rear wheels more contact and grip on the lz1
The Hellcat was a Widebody with 11" Rims. It's a combination of more weight and the Pirellis suck!
Proud!
Nice Can we get the ZL1 vs red eye?
plenty more videos coming man! make sure to subscribe and share!
DODGE BOYS JUST CANT STAND TO LOSE.. 1/4 MILE, 1/8 MILE, TOO LIGHT , TOO HEAVY, BAD ROAD CONDITIONS , TOO NARROW OF TREAD .. NOW THEY WANT RUN THE CAMARO AGAINST THAT NEW 1020 HORSE POWER KITTY CAT..LOL..! IM SURPRISED THE ZL-1 DOES THAT WELL IN THE DRAG RACE… LETS COMPARE THAT DODGE OR MUSTY-TANG 500 AROUND A NICE ROAD COURSE .. ENJOY THEM ALL BEFORE THE CLIMATE KOOKS OUTLAW THEM… 🤯😷😲 ❤
1/8 Mile? Run a 1/4!
ZL1 11.7 1/4 mi
Hellcat Red-eye 10.8 1/4 mi
Next
Dodge lies about performance post & has for more that 50 years
The best racing video Ever😮😮😮😮.
Simply love my silver ZL1, especially as it´s equipped with the 6MT, insane feeling to drive it, like a hammer
NICE!🔥🔥🔥
I'm a Chevy guy. But to be honest I didn't think they put that much power in the Camero. I'm pleasantly surprised.
Miss my dad's 400 cubic v8 trans am
nice!
In the quarter mile the cat should reel back in a bit
1000hp Dodge Demon: 😶
I don’t care if Camaro is faster, The Challenger is a beauty & a beast. Exterior/ interior design is unmatched in the muscle car industry.
I agree 💯. Dodge cars are a HUGE turn on to women. I know when I see one, no matter who's driving it, all I see is an endless handsomeness and musclebound
There’s a reason they only raced an 1/8th of a mile
hey i’m also trying to get this camero so may the best man win it
🤞Good luck and thanks for the comment!
I have to have this car... me and this Camaro are one entity I know it! Lol 💪🏾😈
💯 That's the spirit, Adam! Love the confidence 😉
The test is Quarter mile time
can i win it inside at egypt ?!
and what to do to win ?!
sorry, our sweepstakes are open to US and Canada legal residents only.
@@FreedomStreetGarage ok thanks
It's actually 305 mm 325 mm comes only on the 1le zl1
Kind makes you rethink whether you want to spend 100k on an old pro touring camaro vs a 60k used ZL1, doesn't it?
Theyre both very awesome cars
Hellcat will win on a prepped surface. Nothing against the zl1, if anything it is a point given to GM for handling the power off the line better. But pure drive train to drive train with no traction issues the hellcat will take the 8th and quarter mile
Am i too late to enter to win ...??

Getting a ZL1 is on my bucket list this year. I shall have one before 24' and the only thing that's going to hurt is me pockets!!
did you end up getting one
I’m trying to win that ZL1 ❤
"we ran it several times" zl1 is intriguing fir sure
🔥
No manches me encanta el carro camaro
zl1 50th edition
Yes,it’s American made.
I'd still prefer a Hellcat but that's just my preference. But yeah the outcome wasn't shocking to me. If that track ain't prepped goodluck getting a good launch with that hellcat. TOO MUCH POWER!
hope you're entered our new giveaway car our 2022 Hellcat SRT! 🤞
You’d prefer a boat than can only go in a straight line?
@@kevinjack1171 YUP!
Agree Mopar looks more like a muscle car. Mustang also does a better job at retro look.
They only went 1/8 of a mile. Cmon man. Hellcat would of took him.
Would be true if u can keep the check engine light off the Zl1
