I promised no more Mopars for a week, weird or otherwise, and I fully intend to make good on that deal. Even the Internet, which has spent the last week messing with yours truly, has agreed to be a pal and to lighten up by presenting a wonderful example of my first automotive obsession: a second-gen Camaro in it’s second form. All things considered, I’d take a 1974-77 Camaro in a heartbeat if I had to pick one version, and it’s purely an emotional reason. I just like them…ugly enough to be ignored for a long time, but with all of the bones that came with the 1970 variation, all the potential in the world was sitting right there and there were no rubber bumper caps to deal with. If it were me, I’d want a psychotic LT-1 350 powered monster with a six-speed and the 1974 Z28 graphics in a bold color like Rallye Green, but this example, which the guys at 1320Video found at Cedar Falls Motorsports Park running in the Outlaw Chaos race, could sway me. Why? 3,000 horsepower of twin-turbocharged Pro Line Racing big-block and the ability to run a four-second eighth-mile with a car that is all-steel and still sporting the factory glass. Make no mistake, this Camaro is modified by a wide margin, but usually the heavy items tend to be the first thing to go on a drag car, and if you have ever picked up a second-gen F-body door, then you know what “heavy” can be. It’s brutal, it’s street-legal (wow!) and would be my dream Drag Week ride. Watch as it makes mincemeat of the competition on it’s way to the car’s first race win!
