Procharged Chevrolet Camaro SS Races Nissan GT-R, Jumping Leads to Trouble

The details about the velocity battle are pretty scarce, but we know that the 6.2-liter V8 animating the muscle car has left its N/A nature behind and now works with a Procharger.

YouTube label Can I Be Frank doesn't mention the rest of the Camaro's tech setup. While the said centrifugal supercharger can allow the LT1 motor to deliver anywhere between 600 and 1,200 horsepower, the wheel and tire setup of the vehicle doesn't indicate that we're dealing with a machine that packs a four-figure output.

However, the JDM toy we have here might just deliver that kind of power. Sure, we get zero details on what has been done to the twin-turbo 3.8-liter V6 of the Nissan. But while we're talking about an AWD vehicle, we have to keep in mind that the unit seen here packs beadlock wheels for the rear axle. That's a clear hint at some serious power as this mechanism helps keep the meaty-sidewall tires in place during hard launches.

It's worth noting that the racing action took place on the street, meaning that the machines went for the usual rolling takeoffs. The beasts duked it out on two occasions, but it looks like the driver of the GT-R jumped the start on both runs. Aside from the obvious safety aspects, this is yet another reason to hit the drag strip for both standing and rolling races.

Now, if you happen to be in a rush, you can skip to the 0:29 point of the clip below for the competitive sprinting.
