ProCharger F1A, a 408-cubic inch LQ9, a Strange rear end and suspension upgrades make one quick Camaro.
If you have been dreaming of a streetable fourth generation Camaro with a monster supercharged engine and the supporting upgrades to use loads of power, but you don’t have the time, abilities or connections to build such a car, you are in luck. While flipping through the most recently-listed cars in the LS1Tech Marketplace, we came across this 2000 Chevrolet Camaro. This ProCharged beast was posted to the forum by “GarzaZ-28” and it is everything that you want in a built fourth gen F-body, packing big power, a built drivetrain and a long list of chassis upgrades.
Most importantly, this Chevy muscle car has a solid price for what should be a street-friendly, nine-second car, listed for $18,000.

Nine-Second Street Car
Unfortunately, there is no mention of track times, but with 750 rear wheel horsepower, this Camaro should be capable of running in the nine-second range. Based on the build details it also seems like a car that you could drive on the street without problem, stomping just about everything that foolishly lines up.
If nothing else, the car packs big power and the supporting upgrades to run nine-second quarter miles while also looking wicked, so even if you aren’t a track racer, this 2000 Camaro is surely one hell of a fun street car.
"Before I was old enough to walk, my dad was taking me to various types of racing events, from local drag racing to the Daytona 500," says Patrick Rall, a lifetime automotive expert, diehard Dodge fan, and respected auto journalist for over 10 years. "He owned a repair shop and had a variety of performance cars when I was young, but by the time I was 16, he was ready to build me my first drag car – a 1983 Dodge Mirada that ran low 12s. I spent 10 years traveling around the country, racing with my dad by my side. While we live in different areas of the country, my dad still drag races at 80 years old in the car that he built when I was 16 while I race other vehicles, including my 2017 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat and my 1972 Dodge Demon 340.
"Although I went to college for accounting, my time in my dad’s shop growing up allowed me the knowledge to spend time working as a mechanic before getting my accounting degree, at which point I worked in the office of a dealership group. While I was working in the accounting world, I continued racing and taking pictures of cars at the track. Over time, I began showing off those pictures online and that led to my writing.
"Ten years ago, I left the accounting world to become a full-time automotive writer and I am living proof that if you love what you do, you will never “work” a day in your life," adds Rall, who has clocked in time as an auto mechanic, longtime drag racer and now automotive journalist who contributes to nearly a dozen popular auto websites dedicated to fellow enthusiasts.
"I love covering the automotive industry and everything involved with the job. I was fortunate to turn my love of the automotive world into a hobby that led to an exciting career, with my past of working as a mechanic and as an accountant in the automotive world provides me with a unique perspective of the industry.
"My experience drag racing for more than 20 years coupled with a newfound interest in road racing over the past decade allows me to push performance cars to their limit, while my role as a horse stable manager gives me vast experience towing and hauling with all of the newest trucks on the market today.
