It was Team Zelda vs. Team Darkness. Team Zelda's modified race car, a Nissan 350Z and Team Darkness' modified race car, a Shelby Mustang GT, each with over 500 horsepower and turbochargers, raced each other one-quarter mile at Coastal Plains Raceway on Saturday at the filming of the finale of the pilot episode for "MODS," an upcoming reality show.

"The show features two teams, each with three contestants who are given the opportunity to modify a sports car and then race the cars against each other for prizes and incentives," McMillan explained.
