This week"s Drag Race video features a matchup between a 1967 Chevrolet Camaro and a 5th generation (2012-2015) Camaro ZL1. We don"t have any details on either car, but the 1967 Camaro does not look stock while the ZL1 looks like it could be stock down to the wheels. I should point out that this race is taking place at Bandimere Speedway in Colorado, where the extreme elevation and thin air leads to slower quarter mile times. The times turned out by these two Camaros aren"t all that impressive, but it cool to see one of the first Camaros going head to head with the most powerful stock Camaro ever.Oddly, the Camaro ZL1 pushes through the lights and leaves the line before the green light, quickly putting bus lengths on the 1967 Camaro. In fact, the 5th gen Camaro pulls away so quickly that the old school muscle car leaves the camera view a few times.While the 1967 Camaro technically gets the win due to the newer Camaro red-lighting, the ZL1 ran an 11.94 at 116 mph while the classic Camaro went 14.13 at 110 mph.Crank up your speakers and enjoy!Tags: 1st Gen Camaro, 5th Gen Camaro, drag race monday, ZL1
