The year may be about to end, but it seems that there’s always a good time for records to fall. The latest example of this kind comes in the form of the adjacent video, which shows a Turbo Pro Extreme Camaro setting a new 1/8 mile record.
Belonging to the Q80 Racing Team, this managed to pull a 3.68s 1/8 mile run @206.42 mph (332 km/h), which means we are dealing with the fastest turbo doorslammer on the drag strip. However, this record may fall soon, as this was the team’s first test session with the car.

As for the quarter mile time time of this pumped-up Camaro, the vehicle pulled of a 5.86s time. By the way, power comes courtesy of a Pro Line Racingÿ 481X engine fed by twin Precision turbochargers.
