Video: Lingenfelter Camaro uses its 1,243 hp to run 8 second quarter mile

Lingenfelter has set its sights on building the baddest, full interior, new Camaro drag car in existence. Their committment to retaining the streetability of the car results in a 4,075 pound curb weight - making this Camaro quite hefty for a drag racer. Nonetheless, it has proven its worth by running an 8.99 second quarter mile at 158 mph.

To move that kind of mass down the track at that type of velocity, you need lots of power. And the Lingenfelter LS9 V8 delivers, thanks to an Eaton supercharger, fully ported heads, titanium intake valves, long tube headers, and a two stage nitrous setup. The mill is backed up by an RPS triple carbon clutch, 9.5 inch billet rear end, and 4.10 gears. And those parts are needed, thanks to the resulting 1,243 horsepower. See it run in the video above.
