Shot this supercharged Camaro at dawn yesterday for Hagerty. It’s an interesting car, engineered by an interesting guy — a long time Chevy mechanic who seems to have an engineer’e instincts for making things work. He runs the car with about 15 pounds of boost and moderately high compression on E85 fuel, which is 85% ethanol and dirt cheap compared to high octane gasoline. The alcohol is very friendly to an engine like this with high cylinder pressure, and they guy has it tuned perfectly it would seem. He drives it on the street on a regular basis with his german shepherd riding shotgun.. On a chassid dyno it registered 800 horsepower at the rear wheels, but it’s as civilized as one could ask for. Loud, but mannerly.
