This week"s Drag Race Monday video features a pair of 5th gen Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 coupes going head to head on the quarter mile. Based on the information included with the video, we have some key details on the two cars and it seems that each car has a name, but it doesn"t say which car is which. However, both Camaros are very quick, so this makes for a great Chevy muscle car duel.Details on the CarsWe are guessing that "HER ZL1" is the white car with the less significant engine build while ANGRY Z is the black Camaro, based simply on the fact that the black ZL1 is the quicker of the two cars so it likely has the more elaborate build. The black Camaro also appears to be a manual transmission on the launch. Based on that, we know that the HER ZL1 Camaro has a Davenport Motorsports Stage 4 setup which lifts the output to 730 horsepower while the ANGRY Z Camaro has a 396 cubic inch stroker motor with a Magnusson TVS2300 supercharger. There is no power estimate available for the 396 cubic inch V8 in the black Camaro ZL1, but even with the slower start that larger engine allows the Chevy muscle car in the near lane to drive around the white ZL1 for the win.On the top end, the white Camaro ZL1 in the far lane runs a 10.86 at 131 miles per hour and the black Camaro ZL1 runs a 10.57 at 133 miles per hour. The white Camaro used the quicker launch to hold the early lead, but in the end, the Camaro with the bigger engine made the quicker run and got there first.Crank up your speakers and enjoy the roar of these dueling LSA-powered Chevrolet Camaros.
