We all love the new Chevrolet Camaro SS, housing a 455 horsepower 6.2-liter LT1 V8 under the hood with 455 lb-ft torque and an insanely quick-shifting automatic transmission– this setup is a beast on the streets and on the strip. With a 12.3-second quarter mile and a zero to sixty of only 4.3 seconds, some may even claim the vehicle can’t be pushed to its full potential on city streets, needing to hit the track or the strip every so often to be truly unleashed.
Today, Camaros of all ages are legends at the drag strip. Though much has changed throughout Chevy’s progression, one thing has remained the same: their passion for performance.
Now, the brand has partnered up with the legendary Yas Marina Circut in Abu Dhabi to offer every single track attendee the chance to get behind the wheel of a brand new Camaro SS and push it to its limits. The day of the event, attendees will be brought up to speed on each of the basics of drag racing: from the “Christmas Tree” lighting signal system to step-by-step in-car instructions from a drag racing expert.
Dubbed “The Camaro Experience,” these hoon-tivities will be a part of the circut’s “Drive YAS” events, which includes multiple automotive experiences from brands like Jaguar, Aston Martin, and Ferrari. Online, The Camaro Experience comes out to roughly $175 USD (or 650 AED) per person, which doesn’t seem half bad to us. Well, other that the price our plane ticket from California would be. But, Check out the video above to see what it is all about.
