The success of the Mustang has competition there to turn to with a new retro Muscle Car. Dodge launched the Challenger and Chevrolet the Camaro.

Chevrolet Camaro Z/28:
The ‘standard’ Camaro SS was not a childish car, with his 405pk strong LS2 V8, it was already a smooth device. In 2012, the Supercharged version, the ZL1, on the market. The time goes quickly nowadays, because the new is recently presented. But the athlete is still the Z/28. Based on the SS 1LE, but then so much more. Americans can be fun sprinters build, but not in the turns. Yeah, right. The Z/28 is a lot lighter than the regular Camaro’s. Not that it’s a lightweight, but all bits help. To the handling to improve, the base is very thoroughly revised, the most extreme are still tires; 305 broad behind and. And they are even semi-slicks also… The engine is the LS7 from the C6 Corvette Z06.
And that block is one of the finest V8’and ever built. Despite the 7-liter capacity, the block is very compact and light. There is only one intermediate the camshaft and there are only sixteen valves. Fabulous old-skool. The materials are anything but that: titanium, aluminum, and lightweight steel. Maximum power: 505pk. Maximum torque: 637nm. Despite the bizarrely low price of 73,000 dollars, there is not cutting down on the brakes: standard massive ceramic Brembo’s. To a vending machine, you will in vain look for the Z/28 was only with a Tremec zesbak delivered, to keep the Americans from. Nice detail: in order to ensure that there is enough air enters, the Bowtie in the grille holes.

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat:
Americans can be a name to remember. Will be a fun meeting have been: “Hey, how are we going to be the fastest SRT-8 call: Plus, S, Competition or Performance? Or just Hellcat?” BMW will not quickly with the M6 Hölle Katze… Where they at Chevrolet with success there is a trackday weapon knew, the lords of SRT back seized on a very simple but effective way: many, a lot of extra power and torque.
The 6.2 liter V8 got a huge supercharger and other modifications and reinforcements to the block. Result: 717pk. The torque is even more impressive: 882nm. To ensure that the engine of the Hellcat sufficient cooling, the inner linkerkoplamp killed for a blowhole (with a ‘ring of light’ surrounding it). How cool is that? The performances are correspondingly: 0-100 in less than 4 seconds and a top speed of 320 km/h. If you can’t switch, then you can (also of Tremec transmissions) zesbak replaced with an 8-speed Torqueflite automatic transmission.

So where do you go for: maximum circuitprestaties (the Z/28 does the Nordschleife in 7:37), or sprinttijden (the Hellcat does the 1/4 mile in less than 11 seconds on a drag-spec tires).
