An in-car camera in a Dodge Challenger Scat Pack catches a C7 Stingray winning at the line.This drag race video features a quarter mile battle between a 2016 Dodge Challenger Scat Pack and a 2016 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, captured from a camera in the Challenger. We don"t know any details for either car and we don"t get to see the elapsed times or trap speeds for this run. The Challenger sounds like an automatic as it heads down track and based on the short, quick rolling burnout done by the ‘Vette I would guess that it is fitted with the 7-speed manual transmission.Unfortunately, there are no details and after the Challenger heads towards the starting line at the end of the burnout, we don"t see the Corvette again until the race ends. Well, to be exact, we see the Corvette appear just as the race ends, which is what makes this video so interesting.Since the video is captured from inside of the Challenger, we ride along as the Dodge does a burnout, stages and launches. As the big Dodge lumbers down the track, there is no sign of the Corvette and as the finish line draws near, you might be wondering why we are running this video on a GM site.However, right as the Challenger gets to the finish line, the white Corvette Stingray blasts past, and if you watch the video very carefully, you can clearly see the bright green win light in the right lane come on as the C7 wins the race at the line.Even without time slips or any real Corvette racing footage, this proves to be a great video showing a new Stingray beating the Challenger with more power in grand fashion, so crank up your speakers and enjoy!

Interesting. The Challenger might make more HP (marginally) but the Corvette is very significantly lighter. I would have expected the Corvette to trounce a scat pack so what happened?
