A standard Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 can hit a top speed of "only" 184 mph. But the package recently announced by Lingenfelter has managed the impossible: at a recent test drive at the Continental Tire’s Proving Grounds in Uvalde, Texas on April 30th their car hit a top speed of 202.67 mph. However, it took another two tries before scoring this impressive result, but the car "only" managed to hit 199.8 and 199.9 mph respectively. Behind the wheel was Hot Rod boss David Freiburger. This impressive Camaro ZL1 has been equipped with a GT9 camshaft, CNC ported cylinder heads, an increased supercharger speeds, custom air intake with LPE’s race mesh filter, Continental ExtremeContact(tm) DW tires and production ZL1 wheels. But the most impressive thing is the car’s output: a total of 720 HP and 650 lbs. ft. of torque at the rear wheels! We have to remind you that the same car scored an impressive quarter-mile time just a few weeks ago: 11.03 seconds at 130 mph. So we guess its your move Mustang GT500! .
16 comments: Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 by Lingenfelter goes up to more than 200 (...) Ha ha though I’m a fan of Camaro, I still believe it’s not the best so don’t you dare the Mustang guys.
Camaro is one of the Chevrolet’s pride and having upgrades is one of the good news in the automotive world.
I’d be surprised if it surpasses more than that. What Lingenfelter has done can be tuned better by other companies.
