Hendrick Motorsports—the NASCAR outfit with over 30 years of racing expertise—is entering two of its Track Attack Camaro ZL1s. The 2019 model pictured above is powered by a 625-horsepower Chevrolet Performance LSX. If that doesn't do it for you, the 2020 model (still currently under construction) will have a genuine NASCAR racing engine said to make over 850 horsepower. Our Tire Rack Ultimate Track Car Challenge has seen its fair share of extreme track machines, and showing up with a combined output of over 1400 horsepower doesn't necessarily make winning easier.

The Tire Rack Ultimate Track Car Challenge is our annual no-holds-barred track competition. The rules are simple: Car and driver must pass a NASA safety inspection. Period.

Who else will be vying for the win in this week's #FastFriday selection? See for yourself:

Looks can be deceiving with Delmar Dale's 2008 Subaru Outback XT. Underneath its pedestrian exterior hides a 460-horsepower, all-wheel-drive machine with enough mods to stop and go on a dime. Will the Outback's stockish looks be enough to catch the competition by surprise?

Not to be outdone, Matthew Shaw is bringing an LS3-powered 1986 Porsche 944. Does a big-displacement American engine in a lightweight European body make for a winning combo?
