lets let henessey make their own version of the challenger and see how much it spanks that camaro… lol. Speedfreaks is good, but henessey is just insane with their builds. I think that they should have had 1 company build all 3 to really test the platforms rather than the builders.

Howd the challenger come in third? The Supersnake should definetly be in third. 181 horsepower more than the challenger yet slower around the track, what a joke.

Its the only car not on R-spec tires too…

The SS is off the showroom floor, not raceprepped like alot of the other cars came…

A new camaro beats the GT500, since when?

Also took alot of mods to barely beat out the SS by .1 with better tires. Not impressed!

The “superslouch” aint all that much better than a GT500, Id rather have a 500 over it actually!

And the “new Z28”, IF it comes out, isnt going to have a huge cam, big heads, catless exhaust etc etc.
