It’s certainly no secret that Chevrolet’s Corvette ZR1X is blisteringly quick, right? The 1250-horsepower, all-wheel-drive king of the Corvette camp managed to blitz the quarter mile in 8.675 seconds, as we reported earlier this year. “But that’s on a surface with glue smeared all over it,” says host Jason Cammisa at the outset of the newest episode of Cammisa’s Ultimate Drag Race Replay. “What about regular old asphalt?”

Good question. Does the ZR1X owe that mind-numbing number to sticky stuff, or can it still amaze us in a more real-world scenario? Jason wanted to find out, so he grabbed a few markers—a Lucid Air Sapphire, the quickest-accelerating car he’s ever tested; a BMW M2 CS, and a Volkswagen Golf R, both commendably spirited models—and did what we all dream of doing: Line ’em up and let ‘er rip.

You’ll have to watch the video to see the final results, but consider that bow tie-wearing monster for a moment: The ZR1X has the 1064-horse, twin-turbo, flat-plane-crankshaft V-8 from the Corvette ZR1, then adds the electric motor that you’d find up front in the Corvette E-Ray. In that model, the motor is good for 160 horsepower, but in the ZR1X, Chevy’s merry madmen juiced it up to 186 ponies. The final product, as Cammisa notes, has “the ability to incinerate all four tires on demand.”

So noted, but that Lucid waiting in the wings is a formidable opponent. It has a 1234-horse, three-motor electric drivetrain that dishes up stellar acceleration, sure, but its trick AWD aids that so-important traction management. “With cars this powerful, the first half of this drag race isn’t actually about output at all,” says Cammisa. “It’s really a battle of traction control, and this Lucid can adjust the output of each of the three electric motors, individually, from zero to 100 percent, one thousand times per second.” Gulp.

The obvious matchup here is the Lucid versus the Corvette, but to truly illustrate the pace that these two achieve, Cammisa lines up the Golf R 300 feet behind the ‘Vette and the Lucid, allowing it a running start. And for the BMW M2 CS, he places it 300 feet ahead of those two battle-bred bruisers, giving it a massive advantage on how much ground it must cover before the finish line.

So who wins? We do. Tune in and watch this quick quartet race the clock and each other.
