FWD Camaro Dragster Blows Tire on Dyno

We all know front-wheel drive and Chevrolet Camaro don’t mix, but someone was crazy enough to build one for the drag strip. You’re probably wondering why, but we really have no clue.

All we know is that this monster is powered by more than 1,800 horsepower and that its latest dyno session ended abruptly when its front left tire exploded at about 200 miles per hour (322 km/h). We’re glad no one was hurt in the incident, but it looks like this FWD dragster is not yet ready to hit the strip.

We’re not into front-wheel drive dragsters, but we wouldn’t mind seeing this Camaro pulling a few quarter mile runs. Until then, check out the video below and stay tuned for more dyno action.
