What happens when you take a Chevrolet Camaro that was once powered by a LT1 engine, and replace it with a 6.0L LS1 with a turbocharger? You end up with a car than can run a less than 10 second quarter-mile, that’s what.
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.
“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.
