This 200 MPH Craigslist Camaro Is Like A Redneck Veyron
This 200 MPH Craigslist Camaro Is Like A Redneck Veyron-September 2024
2024-02-19 EST 22:13:39

This might just be the best deal in the automotive world right now: a verified 200 mph car selling for just $60k. And of course it’s on Craigslist.

. Obviously it has been quite heavily modified.

The reason why this front-page magazine car is so fast is that the original 305 horsepower 5.7 liter LS1 has been replaced with a forged 6.6 liter LS V8 with a custom all-billet 91mm turbocharger strong enough for over a 1,000 HP. The last dyno run, the Craigslist ad from seller and builder JFR Motors claims, was at 1,050 HP. More recent upgrades put it at an estimated 1,150.

Here’s how that single turbo sits in the car, as pictured on . Unreal.

There is a host of suspension and rear end changes to make that all work in standing mile competition, for which this car was built.

It did 202.5 at the Mojave Mile last year and even beat a Bugatti Veyron doing it.

The car has some quirks, like no working speedometer and a Moser rear end that leaks some oil, but for the money I can’t think of anything better. It even supposedly gets 20 MPG highway!

If you get this thing as a daily driver, I will love you forever.

See , or to get a full recap of what is described when the listing eventually goes down.

When I I’d just picked it up from having Subaru BRZ/Toyota 86 front and rear subframes grafted into its crumbling body. When the car came back to me in May, the clock started ticking. I had until mid-September to get the engine and transmission mounted in the car, clean...

Everyone who has worked on their own car has likely heard approximately one million times that you should and that it’s only safe once that vehicle is resting securely on jack stands. ? Given how relatively simple jack stands are and the fact that they have to do one job...

This Restomod 1956 Hyster Forklift Is Certified Fresh
It’s one thing for you to be forklift certified, but it’s quite another thing for your forklift to be certified badass. Most of the forklifts I’ve used at jobs have been unreliable, smelly monstrosities that have been repaired by . This restomod Hyster is definitely not like that. What’s...

I Ordered A Carbon-Fiber Roof For My Porsche 996 Turbo And I Might Throw Up A Little
I bought maybe the cheapest Porsche 996 Turbo—that’s right, —on the market a year ago, and I’ve mostly been happily stacking miles on the odometer since then. I have been working on making the car my own with a period-correct set of wheels, some extra carbon trim, and a...
