This drag racing video comes from the YouTube channel of Jesse Andree. It features a 5th generation Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE making a quick quarter-mile pass. The Camaro SS 1LE was engineered to offer greater agility around the road course than the "normal" SS. However, this Chevy muscle car has been built to conquer the quarter mile.This particular 5th gen Chevrolet Camaro SS 1LE has been upfitted with a 76mm turbocharger, a BTR stage 3 camshaft, a methanol injection setup and a TH400 automatic transmission with a transbrake. It also appears to have skinny wheels/tires up front and lightweight wheels with Hoosier drag radial tires out back, allowing this Camaro to make the most of that boosted LS3 power.1LE Runs 10sThe video begins with the SS 1LE pulling away from the burnout box and even as it decelerates, it sounds pretty mean. After a time-intensive staging process, the driver engages the transbrake as engine RPMs soar. We then hear the wicked whistle of the massive turbocharger. When the green lights drop, the Camaro 1LE rips out of the hole. It bogs just a bit before blasting down the track, and nearly lifting the front wheels off of the ground in the process.The turbocharged and cammed LS3 keeps the 1LE pulling strong throughout the quarter mile run and while we cant see the big board for the exact numbers, the guy filming is kind enough to read out the ET for us.This fifth-gen lays down an impressive 10.48 quarter mile and it sounds absolutely awesome during the run, so crank up your speakers and enjoy!Tags: 5th Gen Camaro, Camaro SS 1LE, drag race monday, LS3, turbocharged
