1970 Chevy Camaro – High On 9s

“It’s all about drag racing. We have a small group of friends with cars and they are always trying to run faster than each other. Most of the cars are within tenths of one another.” That was Scott Chvosta talking about his buddies and their fast cars. There’s nothing like a little peer pressure to motivate you to run a little bit quicker. Scott’s clearly got his act together, because this 3,300-pound Camaro can run low 10s on motor, and when he squeezes it, the times drop down into the high 9s at well over 130 mph. The Camaro has also yanked off a 1.50 60-foot time and will pull down 126-mph blasts when not on the juice. While that’s hardly headline material these days, consider that Scott is running these numbers not with a mega-inch checkbook motor but with a stock iron-block 468, a pair of iron oval port heads, a Holley carburetor, and plenty of tuning. That’s pure Car Craft. If this doesn’t motivate you in some way, check your pulse.
