These days, special names in the aftermarket industry, such as AMS Performance or Underground Racing, strive to take our beloved GT-Rs and Lambos past 2,000 hp and still maintain drivability. Nevertheless, every now and then we get to see this otherworldy-built setup that comes and throws our standards away.
The most recent example comes in the form of the 1986 Camaro in the clip below. This shows what happens when a big block meets a pair of just-as-big turbines. To be more specific, this Camaro is motivated by a 622 CI V8, which if forced fed by 98mm turbos.
The owner isn’t exactly afraid to put all the muscle to work, since they guy enjoys running no-prep races, where the “virgin” surface can always lead to trouble. And when you throw 3,200 hp onto the rear wheels, trouble may spell any kind of disastrous consequence you can think of.
In fact, you can see the Camaro having its way with a bunch of otherwise overly intimidating big block machines in the clip below. The kind of noise these cars deliver is enough to scare a normal driver away.
And that’s just putting it mildly. As you’ll be able to see, these are the kind of drag strip beasts that could easily make you lose control towards the end of the runway. Speaking of which, we don’t have an ET for you. As the owner puts it, he prefers to race, not to turn clocks.
In his quest to bring you the most impressive automotive creations, Andrei relies on learning as a superpower. There's quite a bit of room in the garage that is this aficionado's heart, so factory-condition classics and widebody contraptions with turbos poking through the hood can peacefully coexist.
