Although the Chevy initially demonstrates impressive speed, a surprising twist unfolds as the Porsche driver unexpectedly lifts, granting the Nova an unforeseen victory. The scene then shifts to the higher elevation of Bandimere Speedway, where the competition is poised to intensify.

The domestic versus import rivalry continued to heat up as a Chevy Nova SS, disguised as a police cruiser, faced off against a Nissan GT-R. Despite its intimidating appearance, the Nova SS was disqualified for a red light, denying the GT-R a chance to claim victory.

The battle between American and foreign muscle cars raged on. A C7 Corvette Z06 decisively defeated an Audi R8, securing a win for the American side. However, a Hellcat was no match for a Kawasaki Ninja motorcycle, evening the score.

The momentum shifted back to the USA as a Mopar easily triumphed over a Toyota Supra. The competition intensified with a C8 Corvette and a BMW M3 battling it out, resulting in a tie. Similarly, a Hellcat and a Nissan GT-R couldn’t be separated, ending in a draw. Ultimately, America emerged victorious with a 4-3 lead in the showdown.
