The sixth-gen Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, with its 650 supercharged ponies, is one hell of a machine. However, when it comes to the quarter-mile sprint, which is a muscle car special, this doesn't stand a chance against the 991.1 Porsche 911 Turbo S.
To be more precise, the ZL1 needs 11.5 seconds to complete the 1,320 feet puzzle, while the Zuffenhausen animal can do it in 10.6 seconds.

Fortunately for the show, the drag race that brough us here doesn't involve a factory-state ZL1. And while I'm not aware of this Chevy's aftermarket goodies, its wheel setup is enough to let one know the GM toy has been prepped for the drag strip - we're talking beadlock wheels on the rear axle and sinny tires up front.

Now, I need to remind yoy that shenanigans such as the one depicted in the piece of footage at the bottom of the page need to be taken as an example. In other words, please stay off the streets and hit the track when the hooning urges happen to kick in.

Those of you who happen to be in a hurry should know that the adventure described above can be found at the 2:28 point of the clip. However, the rest of the video is also worthy of attention, since this involves plenty of other sprinting battles, all of which pack spicy machines.

Oh, and if you happen to enjoy betting, now would be a good time to pick sides in this fight. Nevertheless, when it comes to the aural side of the battle, the winner is clear. In fact, according to the cammer, the said Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 didn't just one-up the Porsche 911 Turbo S in terms of the decibel fight, but was the best-sounding car of the day. And since we're talking about the all-popular Palm Beach International Raceway, that aural feat shouldn't be taken lightly.
