Drag Racing

The Pure Stock Muscle Car Drag Race or PSMCDR class will almost never run out of steam and the video by CarsandZebras, that I’m featuring today is proof of that very fact. This duel between a 1969 Camaro ZL1 and a 1972 Dodge Demon is one, that you just can’t miss. Not only is it a full-on entertainer, but the video is packed full of facts on what exactly makes these cars so special.

Wheels is back with yet another drag battle. We’ve previously featured several drag battles from Wheels, but Ford vs Chevy face-offs remain popular with you lot. So, here is the latest duel that saw a C7 Corvette Stingray taking on a Mustang GT. Let’s look at the contenders now, shall we?

We’ve previously featured several Old-school vs Modern battles from the Cars And Zebras’ YouTube channel, and the video we’re featuring today sees another awesome pairing between a 1972 Dodge Dart Demon 340 and a modern-day Challenger Hellcat. The two cars took each other in the Pure Stock Class at the Mid-Michigan Motorplex.

The 1969 Chevrolet Corvette 427 L88 is a bit of a legend, isn’t it? It has to be one of the best Corvettes ever made. Its stomping performance continues to surprise people today as it did back nearly five decades ago. This video by Road Test TV of the L88 taking on some pretty potent competitors of its day is proof of what the ol’ Vette can do on the drag strip.

Not that they were ever built for speed (or were they now?), Motor1 decided to pit three high-performance V-8-powered rigs against each other on a dry lake bed, out in the deserts of California. The purpose of this battle was to determine the fastest of the trio on the dirt.

The 427 L88 Vette was a legend back in the day and its continues to be a highly desired motor by collectors and enthusiasts alike. You had to pay a premium for them back then, and to this day, values for these highly sought-after cars remain really strong.

Fast forward to today and the modern-day Demon has the ingredients to make it a legend as well. In this duel, featured on CarsandZebras, we’ll see the two cars go head to head at the drag strip in a series of 1/4 mile shootouts.

The Jefferson County Sheriff is back with the trusty old Explorer, this time taking on the mental C7 Z06. Granted it’s not the latest C8 Z06, but, the previous iteration is no slouch either. Now, this isn’t the first time that we’ve seen the Jefferson County Police Cruiser at the Bandimere Speedway in Morrison, Colorado.

Wheels has previously featured it in a bunch of videos taking on cars like the Nissan R35 GT-R, the Tesla Model Y, a Ford Mustang Shelby GT500,, and a Chevy Camaro ZL1. Heck, it even went up against a Quad bike.

Plymouth may be gone, but the car you’re about to see today is alive and kicking in. This old-school Road Runner took on a modern-day Scat Pack Challenger in a close battle fought in the F.A.S.T or Pure Stock Drag Racing Class.

We are back with yet another epic pure stock battle between two great nameplates of the muscle car world. This time around, we’ve got a 1969 COPO Camaro that took on a 1971 Plymouth Baracuda, and these two are pretty evenly matched between the power they produce and how much weight. Let’s look at the numbers

The latest episode of This vs That on Hoonigan saw a bonkers Chevy Trailblazer take on an equally souped-up Dodge Hellcat. It all went down at the Sant Margarita Ranch in San Luis Obispo County, California. There’s a decade between these two cars, but that doesn’t really matter cause they’ve both got some Go. Let’s take a closer look at the contenders.

Have you wondered which one of these Fast and Furious cars is faster in a standing one-mile drag race? Since we never really got to see that for real, YouTuber Ericship111 put together this race in the Virtual world i.e on Forza Horizon 6.

Now, who doesn’t like an old-school vs modern face-off? This time around, we’re digging into the archives of Cars and Zebras and we found this duel between a ’69 Vette with the legendary L88 going up against a more recent Chevy Camaro from 2013. Both cars took part in the FAST or Factory Appearing Stock Tire Drag Racing class, the rules for which you can check out here.

For today’s drag-race special, we have this closely fought battle between two cars from the early 70s. Both these models were at the top of their game back in the day and you’ll see why, in this stock head-to-head, that was staged during the annual PSMCDR at the Mid-Michigan Motorplex in Stanton.

It would have been some sight to have caught these two Chevys side by side at a dealership back in the late 60s. If you didn’t then here they are, going up against each other in a factory stock head-to-head. Let’s look at the numbers on these super rare cars.

Here’s taking a look at yet another stock race between two classic legends of the Muscle car world. This video of a face-off between a 1968 Charger R/T and a 1965 GTO Tri-Power, from Road Test TV dates back to 2015, but the race itself, well it remains timeless doesn’t it? It went down at the annual PSMCDR event at the Mid-Michigan Motorplex park up in Stanton.

If you’re a Mopar fan, I don’t think it can get any better than this one can it now? Demon and Charger are two of the most iconic names in Dodge’s history and this video by Wheels shows them in a head-to-head. I wish I knew what the numbers were though, especially on the classic muscle car here, but since they weren’t available, I’ll quickly run you through the baseline figures on both cars.

In this latest post, I’m featuring two Challengers that have nearly four decades between them. You have a Challenger SRT 8 take on its granddaddy in the form of the 70s 340 Six-Pack Challenger, both owned by the same guy, Robert.

The modern muscle car was clearly trying to be a throwback to the classic, right down to the graphics, and was driven by his girlfriend. The couple battled it out over six rounds, but before that, let’s look at the baseline numbers on both cars.

While pure stock drag racing remains a popular class to this day, here’s taking a look at what it was like gunning it down the drag strip back in the 80s.

This video with its grainy lines and off-beat commentary, about two of the greatest names amongst muscle cars going head to head, sure does ring the nostalgia bell pretty hard. Strangely, the video has the correct aspect ratio of 16:9 rather than the 4:3 which was the norm back then.

EVs and SUVs, they’re both the kinds of cars that will make a frequent appearance at the drag strip. This time, here’s a family hauler taking on a 250+ grand worth of Lamborghini Huracan. Okay, it’s unlike any other family hauler out there. Let me elaborate with some numbers:

We’re taking a look at yet another round of Stock Old-school muscle cars drag race, from the Cars and Zebras’ archives. Today’s contenders are the 1969 Chevy Yenko Camaro and the 1970 Ford Torino Cobra Jet that took part in the Factory Appearing Stock Tire or F.A.S.T racing series. Let’s look at the numbers, shall we?

Just on a routine fun day out at the Crofton Capitol Raceway in Mechanicsville, the Modern Red Hemi got the chance to run against a stock Dodge Demon. And, for once, I have the entire list of modifications, at least for one of the cars. Let’s look at the numbers:

It’s always nice to hear about a father-son duo showing up at the drag strip with a nice custom build. This ’66 Chevelle is a prime case in point, but when you bring two cars out, well, you can go head-to-head.

I had no idea this GT-R vs Z06 duel was a father-son pairing, to begin with, until I looked at the comments section of this video that wheel put out. Now, once again, I can’t confirm the specs, so let’s look at the baseline numbers and you can work your way from there.
