The sun is shining bright, and the pavement is hot as these two competitors cruise onto the interstate in Old Mexico for some roll racing. Word is that a bit of smack talk has resulted in bad blood between these two gearheads. No need for fisticuffs, here. These two will take it out in RPMs.

Representing the U.S.A. – in the right lane – is the Chevrolet Camaro LT1. Equipped with a naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 engine, the LT1 version of the Camaro was rated at 450hp and 450 lb.-ft. of torque in stock condition. Shifting is handled by a 10-speed automatic transmission. The Camaro featured in this clip has been modified with some degree of porting (probably heads and intake), a set of exhaust headers and an E85 tune. This thing purrs like a kitten, then roars like a tiger.

Rolling out for the Germans is the all-wheel drive BMW M5 Competition. A luxury sedan with a twin turbocharged 4.4-liter V8 engine, the M5 Competition is capable of producing 667hp and 553 lb.-ft. of torque. It has an 8-speed automatic transmission. The nearly stock M5 (running in this race) has a full accoutrement of aftermarket bolt-ons and it is burning premium pump gas. This one looks like the sleeper of this contest.
