The GT350 and the ZL1 have been track cars from the start. So it makes sense to put these rides up against each other. The 650 horsepower ZL1 outclasses the 526 horsepower of the GT350R from the get-go. Luckily for the GT350R, the ZL1 in this comparison isn’t fitted with the notoriously good 1LE handling package.
Check out the video below for Kelley Blue Book’s full comparison, and find out which ride they think is more fun to drive.

YouTuber Michael Hysson, or Speed 717 made noise when he was fined for jumping a Ram 1500 TRX over a creek. He was charged with 18 criminal counts and forced to pay a $53,000 fine for damage to the environment. Has this stopped him from attempting stunts? Not so much. In his latest daredevil move, he takes the Ram 1500 TRX and jumps it over his own Dodge Viper. The best part? The Viper is an extremely rare Viper Snakeskin ACR Edition. So, how does it all go down? One way to find out..

A mid-week check in on a good old fashioned drag race – at least in our opinion, there isn’t. Today we have a classic matchup of sportscar power. While the C8 is certainly a fast car, it wasn’t exactly designed for drag racing. Now, let’s talk specs. In one corner we have the 2021 Chevrolet C8 Corvette Stingray, powered by a 6.2-liter naturally-aspirated V8 engine that produces 490-hp and 470 lb-ft of torque. It can get from 0-60 in a little over 3 seconds, or 2.9 seconds when it has the Z51 package, bringing overall power to 495-hp. In the other corner there’s the Mustang Shelby GT500, packing a whopping 760-hp and 625 lb-ft of torque from a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 engine. The Ford gets from 0-60 in 3.3 seconds and does the quarter mile in just 11, so the odds are leaning in the Mustang’s favor, but you never know how these things could shake out. Place your bets, and check out the video below to find out who comes out with the W.
