Supercar road trips are already becoming common even in Ukraine. But it’s one thing to go on a long journey in a stock Ferrari or Lamborghini, and quite another to use a 3500-hp dragster for this.
The car’s creator, Tom Bailey, covered over 1600 km on such a vehicle, deciding to drive to several stages of the drag racing championship on his own.
The dragster is based on a 1969 Chevrolet Camaro coupe, but the car has been thoroughly modified. Under the hood now hides a huge Chevrolet V8 Brodix bored out to 10 liters.
It is complemented by two turbines and Holley EFI electronic fuel injection.
The maximum 3500 hp is achieved on racing fuel. The best result for the Chevrolet Camaro in drag racing is ¼ mile in 6.35 seconds with a speed of 362 km/h at the finish line. There is a parachute brake for a quick stop.
Of course, the parachute isn’t used on public roads, and power on regular gasoline is limited to 1500 hp.
But it’s still very difficult to handle such a beast, especially since the interior is very Spartan. But the dragster’s creator jokes: “It drives like a Civic.”
