The Corvette is an automotive institution. Within that institution, the practice of engine swapping has long been practiced.

This week’s Drag Race video takes us back to 2010, where we watch a 1998 Chevrolet Camaro with a serious NA build on a stock LS2 short block in action on the 8th mile drag strip.

Drag cars need breathtakingly high horsepower figures to generate low quarter mile times. Jason Carter’s Malibu produces both.

“I love the exhilaration of the car heading down the track. I love the peace of me and the car being one. I love the fans. It’s a package. I can’t break it up!”

I don’t know about you, but when I was in high school I couldn’t even dream about owning a 10 second car, let alone a 9 second one! That makes this story all that more surprising.

I believe that the only things that move faster than new high-performance cars are the people who tune and/or drag race them. They don’t seem to waste any time when it comes to turning wrenches or spinning tires into rubber crowd cologne.

This week’s Drag Race video features a beastly 1979 Chevy Camaro racing against a Factory Five Cobra Kit car.
