Every car fan has certainly seen the crazy dragsters and funny cars on TV, which race with extremely high performance on the dragstrip. These racing cars mostly with Methanol operated, perform roughly 3.000 PS and create the quarter mile (402m) in legend 4,5 seconds. It is perfectly clear that such vehicles no street legal and are only designed for racing, but there are also dragsters with less power and street legal, what a under 10 seconds be able to complete the quarter mile. This is also the case with the Camaro we introduced today, which has become a thoroughbred dragster in the USA with street legal has been modified, and pretty much dwarfs everything that crawls and flies on the highway.

Batmobile for the street and the drag strip.

This second generation 1980s Camaro was built by a father and son team, and is capable of roughly 8,5 seconds can quarter mile to be completed. Bruce and Mitchell Laucks have put a total work of art on the wheels, which in our opinion is difficult to top.

When it comes to design, the Fiberglass front with their extreme bonnetby an oversized Power Dome is marked, everything in the shadows. At first you can hardly believe it, but the vehicle is not in black, it has become extreme dark green painted so that from many perspectives it looks like the Chevy Camaro is black. Of the front spoiler as well as the extremely unusual sidepipes, which are located directly behind the front axle, give the Camaro a racing car-like character.

At the stern, that happens immediately Longtail design on, which certainly extends the Chevy by a few decimeters compared to the production version. It also became a powerful one rear wing installed, which is equivalent to that of a funny car from dragster sport. Unfortunately, we don't know if there is also one Bremsfallschirm was installed, as is usual with dragsters, in order to ensure the optimal delay. On the front axle were classic Chrome rims in five-spoke design Installed with a low bed look, while the rear rims are more reminiscent of dragster wheels, and completely covered are. The side windows are probably made of lightweight plastic, possibly Polyurethane, manufactured to reduce the weight as much as possible while maintaining full safety.

9,3 liter V8 Monster works under the hood.

These numbers make you dizzy, but the displacement of the engine is amazing 9,3 liters, and the performance is unbelievable 1.200 PS. We don't even want to philosophize about the torque, but it should be well in the four-digit range. As mentioned above, are 8,5 seconds on the quarter mile Targeted as a goal, but the vehicle has not yet been moved on the drag strip, so there are no reference times yet. The monster is almost too powerful for normal road traffic, and we're pretty sure it is 9,3 liter big block makes a hell of a noise that puts a grin on every car fanatic's face when you bring it to life.
