Ride of the Day: 1995 Chevy Camaro
By Sean O'Hara
I had one of these once, but mine wasn’t a ripped, LS2-powered monster like this one is. We aren’t sure why you’d need 800 ponies to the rear wheel — but we must admit, we’d want ‘em too, if we had the budget.

Why We Like It
It runs around 15 pounds of boost — obviously, that long list of mods keeps it at the front of the pack, damn near wherever it goes. We love that the owner didn’t just opt for the LS1 but went to a better motor with Turbo thrown in on top of it.
What We’d Change
Though the list of power mods is lust-worthy, we worry a little about the rear wheels hooking up under that kind of load. Some fat rubber and soft suspension might be in order.
