When The Greatest Of Mopar Car Names Drag Race
There are three cars in the lineup against the Chevy C6 Corvette Grand Sport, which comes packed with a beast of an engine under its hood.

So the first one to go is the Dodge Charger 392 which packs a 392 cu in HEMI V8 powerplant. The Corvette decimates it by a massive margin in a matter of seconds. While the 392 Charger raced the quarter-mile distance in just 12.62 seconds at a top speed of 110.48 mph, the Corvette achieves the same in 10.95 seconds at a 98.64 mph top speed.
Next up is the stunning Hellcat Challenger that looks intimidating next to the near petite Corvette. It runs the quarter-mile finish line in quick 10.24 seconds with a top speed of 137.03 mph while the Vette takes the win once again with a time of 10.06 seconds at 138.67 mph.
Its American Vs German Drag Race Now
The last of this drag battle culminated into a thrilling American Vs German war on a drag strip where the V8-armed BMW defended its German prowess against another V8.
As they approached the starting point, the V8-powered BMW rolled is in black on massive Hoosier tires and boasted immense power while the Corvette gets ready to show why it’s considered a ruthless American machine. Both the contenders took off from the starting point and remained side-by-side for a while before the Corvette left the BMW behind, by a narrow margin.
It took the Corvette 10.30 seconds at a top speed of 124.10 mph to cover the quarter-mile while its rival, the V8 BMW clocked the same in 10.93 on a top speed of 130.43 mph. This particular 'Vette was a hard competitor to beat, but the other racers give it a run for its money.
