Well that was fast. Lingenfelter Performance Engineering needed just two weeks to accomplish a quarter-mile time in the 10-second range in a 2012 Chevy Camaro ZL1.
Lingenfelter provided a drag slip showing the numbers put down by their tuned Camaro ZL1. That slip reveals a quarter-mile time of 10.79 seconds with a trap speed of 134.36 mph.
The tuner says modifications were completed two weeks they got their hands on a 2012 Camaro ZL1. The LPE-tuned ZL1 features a Lingenfelter GT9 camshaft, CNC ported cylinder heads, modified supercharger pulleys, and a custom air intake. The car ran on 109-octane race fuel and rode on Nitto NT05R drag tires. All told, the mods equate to 720 hp and 650 lb-ft of torque, compared to 580 hp and 556 lb-ft that the 6.2-liter supercharged V-8 produces from the factory. Lingenfelter offers a number of upgrades that boost horsepower figures anywhere between 630 to 700 hp.
