Ford Mustang v Chevy Camaro v Dodge Hellcat Redeye: DRAG RACE

Thanks to everyone for lending us their cars:

Check out this incredible muscle car line-up!

We’ve got Mat in the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, and he’s going head-to-head against Yianni in the Dodge Challenger Hellcat Redeye & Racing Driver Sam in the Ford Mustang!

So let’s see how these mighty muscle cars compare. Starting with the Camaro ZL1, it’s powered by a 6.2-litre supercharged V8, which would normally deliver 650hp. However, this one’s been tuned, and as a result, it puts down 770hp & 1,000Nm of torque! It delivers the power to the rear wheels via a 10-speed automatic gearbox, and it weighs in at 1,748kg.

Next up we have the Dodge. It’s also powered by a 6.2-litre supercharged V8, but it’s completely stock, so it puts down 808hp and 959Nm. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed automatic gearbox, and it’s the heaviest car here, tipping the scales at 1,720kg.

Then finally we have the Ford Mustang, which has also been tuned, so as a result it’s housing a 5-litre supercharged V8 under the bonnet that can put down 859hp and 902Nm! Just like the others, it’s rear-wheel drive, but it has one big disadvantage - it’s equipped with a 6-speed manual gearbox! However, it’s also the lightest car here, coming in at 1,720kg.

So how will this one play out? Surely the Dodge & Chevy will beat the Mustang, right? There’s only one way to find out… LET’S RACE!

Did the 'car break' or did 'I break it'?

Yanni's forward lean and aggressive face adds another 100bhp

Damn the comment section really works. I’m back in another video! Love you guys ❤

How is no one talking about how Sam absolutely handled that manual Mustang. His launch with Mat was perfect

[johndale]

The zl1 with less horse than all of em almost whipped em all. Props to Camaro. Had em from jump too.

[soulcrusher]

Regardless of what badge you are loyal to, i think we can all agree that all three of these cars are badass.

As an American, I’m really sad this race didn’t work out, but them getting in the car together was pretty great 😂

I'm a Challenger fan, but that Mustang sounds phenomenal!

[AMSDODGEUK]

Can we just give Yianni a round of applause for handling our DODGE Challenger so well and not putting it sideways 😂

[sagar]

Sam is the real MVP here! Nailed those gear changes. He even held Mat spellbound. At 12:38 you can see! What a guy.

[arnom]

This was by far one of the most entertaining dragraces ever! The drama! The suspense!

[danielmeandro]

I've watched Carwow videos for the past 4 years or so and aside from cars this is my favorite video. All three of yall in the Challenger leaning forward really got me.

Thank you so much Mat, Yianni, Sam, Carwow staff and everyone who gave their cars to make this ultimate American tuned muscle car drag race possible!

[Ambatukamenurass]

I love the relationship between Yianni and Sam. The banter this episode was on another level

[Soh]

Best sounding drag race this month. That Challenger is an absolute animal once it gets moving.

[carnutr_]

This was by far the funniest episode I’ve watched and this was 9+ months ago🤣😭🤣

[nickhaddon]

You guys make the most entertaining racing videos. Yianni complaining that Mat cheated on him was hilarious.

[bazzyg]

If Mat, Yani and Sam were the new three Top Gear presenters, it would be absolutely amazing!

[jody]

Having Yianni and mat in one car is epic! that should happen more often!

[patrickmau]

Should have raced a GT500 against the ZL1 and hellcat. Putting a built GT against those doesn’t make sense.
