Naturally Aspirated 427 C5R-Powerd Camaro Wheelies On The Bumper

If you ask me, there's something inherently American about a wicked drag car pulling the wheels and scraping bumper. There's no way around it, drag racing is as American as apple pie and such grotesque displays of horsepower are just cool. And so to lift our spirits during the rainy months, I'd like to share an old favorite of mine: The wheel-standing antics of Bobby Lashley's naturally aspirated 427 C5R powered 4th. Gen. Camaro!
Some of you might remember the car in its later years, circa 2010 when it held the fastest NA LSX title with a pass of 8.29 @ 163 MPH. Well, this was before the wheelie bars and perhaps this was the reason he added them...

See the main-page post with the 8.29 pass soon!

This car never held an N/A lsx title. I believe this car was back halved and when they had to switch back to a stock style rear setup and ditch the forward hood scoop it was no competition for the SAM hugger orange Camaro... If my memory serves me correctly.
