Check out brand-new cars and truck handle Carwow:

It's time for an almighty American muscle head-to-head!

We have actually got our hands on the famous Corvette Z06, and it's going up against the Ford Mustang Dark Horse and the actual king of the strip– the Dodge Demon! This is the ultimate battle for United States supremacy, but who will cross the line first? Let's check out the stats …

Beginning with the Corvette Z06, it's powered by a 5.5-litre naturally aspirated LT6 V8 with a flat-plane crank, creating 670hp and 625Nm. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an 8-speed dual-clutch transmission, and it tips the scales at 1,685 kg. In today's market, you're taking a look at around ₤ 88,000 to get your hands on among these mid-engine work of arts!

Then we concern the Mustang Dark Horse. It's equipped with a 5.0-litre Coyote V8, producing 507hp and 567Nm. This specific cars and truck is running a 10-speed automatic, and it weighs in at 1,811 kg. It's the "budget plan" alternative here, costing around ₤ 47,000, however can it keep up with the heavyweights?

Finally, we have the Dodge Satanic force. This beast includes a 6.2-litre supercharged V8, and in its most potent form, it puts down an eye-watering 819hp and 972Nm! All that power is sent out to the rear wheels through an 8-speed automated, and it's the heavyweight of the group at 1,941 kg. If you want one now, anticipate to pay ₤ 62,000!

The Corvette has the tech, the Mustang has the grit, but the Devil has the raw power! Will the Z06's mid-engine traction be enough to hold back the supercharged brute? There's only one way to discover for sure … LET'S RACE!

      @yagamikiralight8805

      I don’t think it’s doing 80 mph when it’s spinning, it’s doing more like 40 lol, the Speedo reads how fast the tires are spinning & does calculations to determine how fast the car is going, when the car is spinning the calculations come out wrong, so it thinks it’s doing 80 while it’s doing 40

      Zr1 smokes both on this surface. The demon 170 needs a prepped track to be effective.

      What I like about the c 8 zo6 it’s got a top end of 195 mpn the stingray.
      Has a top end 194 even though it has a 170 horsepower, less and that is because the zo6 loses, top end speed because it has super low gearing for acceleration which takes off about fifteen mile an hour from the top end speed that’s why it’s only a mile an hour faster than the standard corvette, but the gearing is awesome for that zo6 wouldn’t have it any other way

      yea its soft so the car can tarnsfer all of its weight to the rear wheels on a prepped track. lol still looks scary tho

    3. @Kruelio Avatar
      @Kruelio

      It has a track mode setting for suspension which tightens it up significantly. Doesn’t look like it’s enabled.

    4. @davefave6922 Avatar
      @davefave6922

      ​@Krueliodrag is supposed to be soft for weight transfer to rear wheels. Its actually working perfectly

    5. @chrskiii Avatar
      @chrskiii

      @Krueliotrack mode is for exactly that, handling on the track. Stiffens the whole car up which is what you would not want

      I saw a newer model, Shelby GT500 KR once and I think that would’ve been an even better competitor against the Demon and the Z06

      Well then neither did the NA z06…. The ZR1 would be the appropriate comparison to the gt500 and the demon. But that would be even more embarrassing now wouldn’t it.
