In addition to the popular “split bumper” design, we can see that this 1971 Camaro has received an extensive restomod treatment. We spy custom carbon fiber body bits, modern wheels with low profile rubber and a suspension setup that tucks the body tightly around those big rollers. On the inside, this 1971 Camaro is just as impressive as it is on the outside, with custom suede and leather race buckets, a unique custom gauge layout and a black finish from top to bottom.Finally, and most importantly with any good restomod, is what is under the hood of this 1971 split bumper Camaro. The supercharged LS9 V8 from the C6 Corvette ZR1 serves as the powerplant, sending power to the rear wheels via a proper manual transmission. The C6 Corvette ZR1 offers official power figures of 638 horsepower and 604lb-ft of torque at the transmission, but at the wheels, those supercharged supercars generally make somewhere around 540 horsepower and 530lb-ft of torque.Those numbers would make for one quick "71 Camaro, but the LS9 engine in this classic muscle car has been fitted with an Edelbrock supercharger, allowing the blown 6.2L V8 to make even more power.After the video gives us a good look at this customized Camaro from every angle, the action begins and this LS9-powered 2nd gen Chevy makes a good, hard run on the dyno. As the video ends, we get a quick look at the screen on the dyno, announcing that this 1971 Camaro made 571.78 rear wheel horsepower and 568.85lb-ft of rear wheel torque.As you might expect, this LS9 Camaro sounds incredible while in action, so crank up your speakers and enjoy!Tags: 2nd Gen Camaro, camaro, Chevrolet, Dyno Blast, Dyno wednesday, LS9, split bumper
