Now that the Camaro ZL1 is among us, everybody wants to know what the badest Camaro can do compared to the Corvette big brother. GM recently decided to satisfy this curiosity, but wanted to make sure that we all know who’s boss, so the company used the Corvette ZR1 for the feat.
Both the 583 hp ZL1 and the 638 hp ZR1 were taken to the Virginia International Raceway (VIR). You can watch the vehicles at full throttle play in the adjacent videos.
