Introducing The 1,000-HP Yenko Camaro For Only $69k

Camaro fans the world over have experienced little more than disappointment over the past year or two. It all began when Chevy decided to give the Camaro a facelift that was,by some accounts, hideous. And even though Chevrolethas since fixedits muscle car's front end,a rumor about the Camaro being discontinuedlater came to surface and seemed to confirm that Chevy really had given up on the car entirely. And while that rumorhas since been disproved, it still left a bad taste in the mouths of Camaro fans, in part because it uncovered just how bad things were going for the storied muscle car.

But for the diehards, none of that matters because despite high-output variants like the ZL1, the modern Camaro lacks some of the appeal of the late 60s classic. For them, only the older Camaros will do. Thankfully,年代pecialty Vehicle Engineering(SVE) may have a way to change that.

That's because the tuning division has gotten its hands on the 2020 Camaro SS and given it the Yenko treatment in the spirit of the modified coupe that dealership owner and racer Don Yenko built in the 60s. Like its peace and love era predecessor, the 2020 Stage II Yenko Camaro is beast to behold both visually and viscerally.

To start out, SVE took the SS' 6.2-liter LT1 V8 and bored it to 6.8-liters. It then added forged internals, an upgraded fuel system, new stainless-steel headers, a pair of high-flow cats, and a high-output supercharger to allow the Yenko's V8 to make no less than 1,000 horsepower and 875 lb-ft of torque. That power is then routed to a manual transmission, because for some nothing less than outright anarchy will do. But that the original Yenkos also featured plenty of visual treats, it would have been a shame if SVE stopped there.
