This guy has a really cool approach to going fast: Leave the engine stock and hop up everything around it. His formula has delivered an 11.62 e.t. at 117 mph from an untouched LS1 in a ’99 Camaro. How? Traction, gears, and weight reduction. It reminds us a lot of how Hot Rod used to test muscle cars back in the ’60s. The dude is Steven Mashburn of Independence, Missouri, and this SS is his first street/strip car. He got it for $11,000 two and a half years ago, scoring the hard-to-find, one-year-only Hugger Orange paint. This stripper also had perks like manual windows, no T-tops, and a stick. Drag-wise, it’s the perfect fourth-gen F-body.Powered by Facebook Comments
