2020 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 vs Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 vs Dodge Challenger Redeye -- Drag Race
Three of America's baddest supercharged V-8 coupes. One emerges the clear winner.
With the new 2020 Mustang Shelby GT500, Ford wanted to create a car that was dominant on road courses and drag strips. The GT500 has to outgun the Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 and the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat. So, the folks at Edmunds got the three together on video to determine which is the straight-line champ.
The Camaro on hand is the track-ready ZL1 1LE version, equipped with the newly available 10-speed automatic transmission, while the Challenger is the Widebody Redeye, which comes standard with an auto. Chevy has the lightest car in this fight, but the ZL1 1LE's 650 horsepower is a ways off the GT500's 760 and the Redeye's 797.
Edmunds didn't use a prepped drag strip for this test, and the video hosts all note that it was filmed on a relatively cold day. Caveats out of the way, it's off to the races.
