    2800hp camaro crashes at Texas Mile...

    2,800-hp Camaro wrecked at 220 mph during Texas Mile speed run | Motoramic - Yahoo! Autos



    Few weekend race events have grown quite as quickly as the Texas Mile, a twice-a-year run down a 1.5-mile airstrip in Beeville, Texas, that lets tuners push their creations to 200 mph and beyond. One of the stars of the past couple of years has been a fourth-generation Chevy Camaro, tuned by a Houston shop into a twin-turbo monster that hit 263 mph last October, claiming the mantle of America's fastest Camaro. This year, the team returned to the Mile last weekend with some 2,800 hp — and found that the engineering they'd put into safety features paid off when the car went off track, rolled several times and caught fire.

    I'm suprised they used a car with T tops. I want to see the video from this crash. He is lucky to be alive. That's one hell of a roll cage.
