This Chevrolet Camaro used to be stock, but now it runs 10-second quarter miles

Chevrolet used this car as a platform, mimicking the steps an amateur drag racer might take as he or she slowly builds a quicker and quicker car.

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

This Camaro SS used to be stock, but a number of drag-racing-specific upgrades have boosted output to 535 horsepower.

This Camaro is seriously quick, ripping through the quarter mile in 10.685 seconds at 125.73 mph.

According to the paint under the hood, this car is red under its camouflage vinyl wrap.

I love a good camouflage wrap.

The car isn't quick enough to require a chute or wheelie bars.

It is, however, quick enough to require Hoosier drag tires and smaller wheels.

There's no fitment quite like Hoosier fitment.

The engine looks like a mess, but one needn't deal with fancy plastic covers when outright speed is the desired result.
