It’s a traditional match-up of old versus new, classic versus current. A 1968 Chevy Camaro RS/SS lines up against a 2010 Camaro with the equivalent options packages. Apparently the ’68 is far from stock standard, with a 406 cubic inch small-block V8 mated with a five-speed manual Tremec transmission and a 3.73:1 posi rear end. This powertrain combination helps level the odds against the newer and higher powered 2010 model, it’s unknown if the newer car is fitted with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.

Regardless of the quality of the cars racing, doing so on a public road which is also a bridge doesn’t seem so smart. But it goes to show, you don’t have to be a teenage Nissan Silvia owner who lives in Christchurch to be a boy racer, it’s an option that is open to us all. Check out the clip below.
