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.

2012 Ford Mustang Boss 302 priced from $40,995

The price to own the forthcoming 2012 Mustang Boss 302 has been announced, and starts at $40,995 including destination and delivery. The pricing makes a lot of sense, as it places the Boss solely in between the Mustang GT and Shelby GT500. The price for the Laguna Seca edition will run you $47,990.

Options are many and you can quickly run up the price by adding them. Recaro seats and a Torsen differential adds $1,995. An Accessory Package with floor mats and car cover goes for $475. Yellow Blaze Tri-Coat paint is an additional $495. You can even add an engine block heater for $35 (why not?). Now all we need is an onlne configurator to play around with (hint, hint).

Video: Rossi Sixty Six Corvette on Jay Leno's garage

The Rossi Sixty Six is best summed up as a cross between a C6 and a 1963-66 Corvette. In other words, the classic styling of a second generation 'vette combined with the performance and modern suspension setup of a modern one.

Jay Leno got a chance to wring one out recently on Jay Leno's Garage, along with some insight on the car from the Director of Design, David R. The cost of ownership is $130,000 and the kinds of upgrades you can get are limited only by your imagination and the depth of your wallet.
