With a top speed at 166 mph, the Ford Mustang GT FBO E85 wins this race. The Hellcat doesn't come close to the Mustang, and instead idling behind it with little chance of catching up. The Hellcat comes in second place only after the race is over. That is a very impressive performance for a stock vehicle. Here is what happened:
Durango SRT Hellcat Widebody
The Dodge Durango SRT Hellcat family-size SUV has lots to offer. This SUV offers a lot, despite the name. It can hold up to six people and has 85.1 cubic meters of cargo space. The large bolsters of the seat offer extra support and flexibility for those who need it to turn tight corners. Dodge Uconnect 5 offers hands-free phone calling, navigation assistance and a premium sound system.
Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat
Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat was one of most powerful cars ever manufactured. It is powered by a 707 HP V8 engine and produces 650 lb-ft. It is highly maneuverable thanks to its standard five-link rear suspension. Additional safety features include full speed forward collision warning and activebraking. For an even more thrilling driving experience you can opt for a Challenger SRT Hellcat Widebody, which will add three inches of width.
Ford Mustang Shelby GT500
Ford has unveiled the Shelby GT500, a new Mustang model. The Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 has only red options, but the Hellcat's black interior is highlighted by black leather. The GT500 has black leather accents and a steering wheel. Although both models have similar power and performance, the Hellcat's interior has more luxury. The Hellcat offers an optional sunroof as well as ambient lighting, an eight inch touchscreen display, and a rear park assist system. The GT500 is equipped with a full-color 12-inch LCD instrument cluster, an option B&O audio system and an 8.-inch touchscreen.
Camaro ZL1
The 2018 Camaro ZL1 features a lowered center of gravity, a super high beltline, and an aggressive interior. The Camaro ZL1 is a capable driver in stock form. However, the 1LE package adds track goodies. Multimatic DSSV spool valhocks are now available in the manual-only 1LE kit. These shocks replace ZL1's front suspension magnetic dampers. A set of adjustable camber plates is included, as well as hard-mounted struts. Solid bushings, larger Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar3R rubber tires, and dive airplanes are all included in the 1LE package.
Ford Mustang GT
Ford Mustang Hellcat GT is a beast of a car. It boasts a 6.2-liter supercharged engine and a 6-speed manual transmission. The GT Performance Package and gold-striped decals give it a distinctive look. Although it is not as strong as the Hellcat Challenger's GT, the GT still delivers. Its performance is what makes it so expensive.
2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350
The 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 production car is the fastest. It can accelerate to 60 mph within 4.3 seconds and completes the quarter-mile in 12.5 second. It weighs in at just over 3000 pounds and can travel 118 mph. The Shelby GT350 R have the same performance specifications, but the R weighs 18 pounds more and has stickier Pilot Sport Cup 2 tires. The GT350 R also weighs nearly the same but the Mustang Shelby is quicker and handles better.
