[The Vengeance Racing VR1100](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/12918/vengeance-racings-chevy-camaro-zl1-makes-1047-hp-at-the-wheels>) is a 2017 Chevy Camaro ZL1 which, thanks to a Procharger F-1A-94 Supercharger [among other things,](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/12918/vengeance-racings-chevy-camaro-zl1-makes-1047-hp-at-the-wheels>) produces a monstrous 1,100-horsepower—1,047 of which ends up at the rear wheels.

Recently, the tuners from Georgia took their 'roided-up Camaro to the drag strip to see what all of those numbers translate to on the blacktop. The result: an obscenely quick 9.58-second quarter mile at 152.97 miles per hour, making it the fastest and quickest sixth-generation Camaro ZL1 ever, according to Vengeance. And just to save you a Google search, yes, that is quicker and faster than [the Dodge Challenger Demon's](<https://www.thedrive.com/new-cars/12618/2018-dodge-challenger-srt-demon-sends-its-rivals-straight-to-hell>) official quarter mile ticket of 9.65 seconds at 140 MPH.

Vengeance says that their car had "another two to three-tenths" left to give, but ran out of time on the strip to prove it. Maybe next time, fellas.

Producing 784 pound-feet of torque on C16 race fuel, the Vengeance Camaro is outfitted with the aforementioned supercharger, GM's 10-speed automatic gearbox, Mickey Thompson drag radials, an LME billet intake manifold, a custom camshaft, in-house ported LT4 cylinder heads, two-inch long tube headers from Kooks Performance, an AlkyControl methanol injection system, a custom auxiliary fuel system, one-inch BMR lowering springs, and of course, Vengeance Racing engraved valve covers so the folks at the Cars & Coffees know what they're looking at.
