Hard to tell from the video. 500 did a “roll by” on the start. ZL1 was carrying an extra passenger. What exactly is “full bolt on” on the ZL1? Usually that description is used by guys that are clueless.

That DCT in the 500 vs a manual in the 1LE is a helluva advantage, specially when the guy driving the stick is not badass at it. Not to mention the additional aero on the 1LE model.

Hard to see the outcome on a 3 second run with heavy traffic, but no doubt the GT500 has balls, though.

What I really want to see is the race with Demon.
There is another video that wasn't posted where camaro pulled. Let's not forget this is God gifted snake with a 2650 oem blower vs a camaro with a 1.7L tiny blower

of course there is. Obviously, stang guy is trying to look as good as possible for the tube. He already wasn’t straightforward about being modded, now it comes out that guy is only posting the run in his favor. Lol.

Win or lose, I always posted the runs I recorded.



Intake,headers and e85 stock pulley.

of course the stang owner would paint that as “FULL BOLT ON, YO!”. Gotta look good for the tube and alter reality.

that stang owner is definitely a Democrat

weak sauce. Lol

I thought the 500 would pull harder.

It has 100 more HP stock than the zl1, yet this one was tuned so probably 150 more hp than a stock zl1.

A bolt on e85 zl1 is likely still down on power vs this gt500.

Race appeared to be about even.

Where are you guys seeing the mods on the Camaro? I didn't see them in the description in the video.

E85 pullied, catless Hellcat is a low 10/high 9 on a tire.
I guess there must only be a few 500s out there and it’s winter, but I’ll wait for track vids.
Waiting on a few guys, hopefully this weekend, that’ll have tuned 500s on DRs at the track.

Depends on tranny and wheel/tire set up. A8, rear seat delete and 18” drag pak all around and in decent DA could probably run very low tens.

Maybe you missed the video in post 1.

Race was very close and zl1 was rowing gears.

I see a gt500 put a car+ in 5 seconds or so, maybe I’m just good with my peepers... it was “close” until the gt500 got to rap out 3rd and it clearly is walking away.

Disagree... every time the mullet shifted gears the 500 pulled, but was then realed in once the mullet was back on power.

I’d like to see it 2nd gear through the top of 4th
