1,500 HP Chevy Camaro Disintegrates After 195 MPH Crash

195

To kick things off, reading about a Chevy Camaro going 195 mph, you really can’t expect that story to have a happy ending. Nothing against the Camaro, but seriously?

It turns out that a 5th generation Chevy Camaro SS tuned by the guys at CSM recently took it to the Pikes Peak Airstrip Attack in Colorado to see what it’s really capable of, and it turned out actually quite a bit.

The 1,500 horsepower highly-tuned, or should I say, completely rebuilt twin-turbo LSX motor achieved 195 mph after crossing the finish line, when the driver started the slowing down sequence and noticed a brake failure. At that point he also experienced a browning of the pants failure as one of the front tires locked up and caused the Camaro to veer sideways and eventually flip on its roof.

The vehicle was outfitted with a full roll cage as well as 5-point seatbelts which are solely responsible for allowing the driver and passenger to walk away alive. The passenger did lose consciousness due to shock, but nobody suffered from serious injuries.

Can’t even begin to imagine what he felt the second when those brakes didn’t do what their supposed to do. Insane…
