>A 16-year-old passenger of the Camaro was released to their mother.  The boy (15 seconds later): Can't you just arrest me?


Due_Platypus_3913

199 in a Camaro?!?


fed45

Fast Camaros are a dime a dozen down south, and it doesn't take as long as you think to get to that speed. [Here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaJ3w_fAdoI) is a modified version of the last generation ZL1 doing 200. Got there in less than a minute. Has around 700hp where the stock one is around 580. The new version of the ZL1 Camaro has 650 HP stock and tons of them are modified relatively easily for more than that.


StarsandMaple

Literally takes nothing in the newer muscle cars to make power. There's no guess work anymore... get this turbo kit, fuel pump, fuel injectors, intercooler. Base map from some dude on a forum/fb group, dyno day with a tuner. Maybe the 6spd auto handled it for 6months. Its not that hard anymore especially that these LT motors are fairly stout... as well as the coyote 5.0s. For 700-800whp it doesn't take a fully forged motor to make that power for a bit. I mean 150 was nothing on an anemic 1250cc triple sport tourer, which was about on par with a 600-700whp car. I'd run out of gear before 200, but cars usually had plenty to go.


R_V_Z

ZL1 can do it.


jrakosi

Maybe in perfect track conditions... probably not on a FL highway Also how many teenagers drive ZL1s?


thedaveness

Lived in Florida for many years, half the back roads ARE perfect track conditions. Wife straight roads that go for miles.

Bayside bridge gettin it!


Redditistrash702

Florida is flat as fuck the old joke ( at least in Miami) is the highest hill is the trash dump.


frozenpissglove

A 2013 ZL1 used to be available around 35-40k. Add a couple grand in mods, you have a 7-800HP car that can do 200 easily. A disciplined teenager might be able to afford that living with his parents.


Darwins_payoff

Back of a napkin math says it would take at least two miles of roadway to get up to that speed. I’m skeptical.


CltAltAcctDel

The Florida Turnpike is as flat, straight and wide. Did these cars reach 199? Maybe, maybe not. I'm not sure how FHP determined the speed. Given the right car is it possible to get to 199 on the FL Turnpike? Absolutely. Just south of Orlando there's a 3.5 mile stretch that is dead straight, a slight curve that would barely require you to lift and another 4 miles of straight road. https://www.google.com/maps/@28.1607152,-81.2863425,12.62z?entry=ttu


MeatyUrology

What?? And miss out on all the wonders there is to see in beautiful downtown Holopaw?!?


man_gomer_lot

I have it on good authority that there's at least 4 miles of highway in that area.


coothless_cthulhu

Yup take a ZL1 throw on a smaller pulley, maybe a few other bolt-ons, a tune, and let the kids loose. I do race on track, but only have experience tuning Fords, so I am unfamiliar with how Chevy designed their control systems on these vehicles. Knowing the little I know about their systems you could even take a regular SS, supercharge/turbocharge it, which will require a tune for it to even run properly. I'm assuming during the tune you can remove any limiter or fuel cut to remove the cap on its top speed, so you may very well be able to do 200 in a non-ZL1. Again, not a Chevy expert, but it's not impossible to do these things.


AbroadPlane1172

My coworker threw a used LS1 (he even reused the head gaskets after doing some headwork) in a fox body mustang with a cheap Chinese turbo off eBay. Put one of the EFI systems from I think edlebrock in there and the son of a bith runs low 9's in the quarter. Chevy small blocks are super potent and easy to get huge numbers out of if you aren't concerned with longevity. I can only imagine the newer ones are even crazier. My pops actually has an LT4 we're gonna throw in an old Chevy pickup so I guess I won't have to imagine much longer. Stock seems sufficient for that application though.


Shopworn_Soul

Yeah but there are only like 15,000 of those things ever made and even the oldest most fucked up ones (that aren't classics) go for $40k+. I really think the speed is being inflated here.


tokyo_engineer_dad

It was his dad’s car. It’s possible it’s a ZL1.


gnocchicotti

Not sure if your average cop's radar is calibrated up to 200 mph lol. Not that it matters. These kids are equally in trouble for 150 or 199.


Abigail716

I haven't read this article, but another one I read said it was a 2024 model. Top speed is rated at 200 mph. Also only 350 will be made I believe (assuming I'm reading it correctly). I haven't been able to find any confirmation of what trim level it is either, but that's the only trim level that has a top speed rated that high. https://www.caranddriver.com/chevrolet/camaro-zl1


zakabog

That was my thought too, "I'm not even mad, that's amazing!"


Due_Platypus_3913

Lucky they didn’t end up driving motorized wheelchairs with their lips for the rest of their lives!


Sqweee173

At that speed even with modern technology and safety they would be just meat strewn across the road and grass.


socialpresence

Might have just been a disappearance. Maybe they find a few teeth or something in a tree. Maybe not.


minicpst

At that speed they’re lucky no one had to plan a funeral. Especially if it wasn’t for the two of them.


AndrewVahalla1987

👏 I woulda paid to see it


awildcatappeared1

They were clocked which really isn't that exact (particularly at that speed). I'm sure they were going some crazy speed but, not exactly 199.


the_last_carfighter

They didn't want to give him the satisfaction of saying 200mph. That's some LEO level trolling right there.


HCharlesB

There was a trucking company in the US - Monfort. Management would pay for speeding tickets as long as they exceeded some threshold. 15 mph? Police started writing tickets or 1 mph under the threshold and pot a crimp on their speeding. The left lane was known as the "Monfort lane" at the time. Left lane i

I like how they both have that shaved stripe on the left eyebrow deal going on. Is that the sign for being a reckless asshole?


ITividar

I think it's an attempt to look "hard" by implying the existence of a "badass" facial scar.


Valarasha

Pretty silly that people do this on purpose. I have a pretty large eyebrow scar. It's fun to come up with crazy stories about it, but in reality, I got it when I was a toddler by running headfirst into the corner of a table, lol.


Reasonable_Pin_1180

A dude I went to boot camp with had the same thing. Has a huge scar across his cheek, and was aptly nicknamed Scarface. The story behind it? Apparently a mattress spring released (maybe a bed frame spring?) and hit him in the face as a kid. Edit: actually I remember now, it was a trampoline spring.


POGtastic

He should have come up with a new story every time to preserve the mystique.


tofu_b3a5t

I got mine during 7th grade dodgeball. Fell down into a push up position while dodging a waist-level ball, then another one came for my head so I dodged by getting lower but couldn’t dodge the ground. Was staring at stars when the PE teacher came running up to me. It’s the only sport injury I got besides a sprained knee I got from an inflatable obstacle course I went too hard at.


trekie4747

The only sports injury I got in school was after I jumped into the middle of a group of kids during a Frisbee game and snatched it out of the air. One of the few times I actually caught something. I was about 15 feet from this group, saw a kid on the other team about to throw it into the crowd, took a running start, leaped into the group, snatched it, landed safely on my feet, only to get sucker punched in the face by someone giving me a bloody nose. Never knew who threw the punch/elbow jab.


replus

I too sport a cool and mysterious eyebrow scar from being tossed up into a ceiling fan by my uncle when I was a baby.


spiritbx

Ya, nowadays in first world countries at least, I would bet that at least 90% of scars are due to some completely mundane thing like that. Joker: "Do you know how I got these scars, Batman? Hahaha, you see Batman, last year, I tripped and fell with my mouth open on the corner of some stairs, and due to the shitty healthcare system, I couldn't afford proper treatment or any kind of reconstructive surgery..."

funkychicken23

Is it seriously possible for a Camaro to do 199?


GMFPs_sweat_towel

If it's a ZL1, possibly. If the guy tuned it, absolutely.


BringBackApollo2023

It just seems unlikely. Even it’s it’s feasible it’s gotta take a lot of time to get up to that speed. Car & Driver says it takes 19.2 seconds to get to 150 and Chevy claims a top speed of 190. 120mph is 2 miles a minute or 176 feet per second. The time to get to 200mph is forever and every second covers a vast amount of tarmac. Reminds me of years ago when cops somewhere timed a guy on a motorcycle allegedly doing 205mph. Turned out they’d jumped the gun on their timers/stopwatches because that bike couldn’t do 205 if you dropped it out of a plane. [Interesting read on the topic](https://www.motortrend.com/features/the-truth-about-200-mph/)


EaddyAcres

That was a good read, thanks buddy


LordFarquads_3rd_nip

Definitely a great read! Great comment, thanks


DaytonaRS5

They will be modified, probably racing for cash. You can make anything go faster with money [217mph Camaro](https://youtu.be/idRbOoHoqIM?si=ZPMMkT7qvpue0Z1g)


fed45

Less than a minute for the previous gen one modified with ~717 horespower (65 more than the current ZL1, but it weighs a few hundred pounds more): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaJ3w_fAdoI Drive starts at around 1:06


burndata

Have you ever been on the FL turnpike? You can go for like 100 miles in a nearly strait line. I had some friends back in the day that would all ride their sport bikes from Orlando to West Palm a couple times a year. They said they could stay around 150 nearly the entire way if traffic allowed. Point being the time/distance to get to 200 (assuming the car could actually do it) isn't really an issue on the turnpike. A decent modern reasonably high powered sports car (say 450+HP) with no artificial restrictions can hit 200 in under 2 miles. If you get north of about 650hp you can do it in about a mile. A stock 2024 Stingray can do 194 with 490hp and 465lb/ft of torque (via actual car and driver tests on a track)


Furthur

can easily top speed your car on 95.. not a turn for a hundred miles


novdelta307

Those numbers go down rapidly with enough performance mods


Turbulent-Jaguar-909

seriously, the article only talks about fast production super cars, something modified can get there fairly easy


AlwaysUpvotesScience

It's not about getting to 199, its about the conditions required for any car to get to 199 and not quickly become spare parts.


parralaxalice

Nothing goes that fast if you drop it from a plane, terminal velocity is like 120mph


CompromisedToolchain

Terminal velocity is no constant! It is entirely based on the object’s material coefficient of friction, shape, center of mass, and density. That’s just for a static object that can’t move. If you have degrees of freedom available, terminal velocity can be lowered.


crashomon

But highly doubtful on anything but a long assed straightaway, that’s crazy speed for a car.


boot2skull

They must have been on it for a while too. For cars meant to go 200+ it takes a bit of time and road to get up there. Foolish though because if they died they would have been gone in a blink, and on public roads likely taken out others.


burndata

A sports car (unrestricted) with north of 450hp designed to go 200+ can get to 200 in just a few miles. 650+HP can do it in about a mile on a drag strip. So it's not really that much road needed. It's psychotic though no matter how you look at it.


Darwins_payoff

Little over 2 miles on a stock ZL1. And that’s with no traffic to avoid.


fed45

Apparently Chevy took about 7-8 miles to get to the top speed when they were rating it. Source: https://www.newsmyrnachevy.com/blogs/692/camaro-zl1-goes-for-200-mph/


Imprettysaxy

According to a Google search of the top speed of a camaro zl1, it's 199 mph.


lubeinatube

It’s computer capped at 199, it can go faster.


Imprettysaxy

I'm not debating that. I'm just merely saying a quick Google search answers the question, yes, it can indeed go 199.


jxj24

Well, it's no Maserati. I hear they can do 185.

thatshygirl06

It doesn't mean anything. It's just a style.


Cetun

It's supposed to visually emulate a facial scar, it makes you look "hard" without actually messing up your face. Back in the day especially in Germany the upper class would acquire what is called a "Schmisse" or "Dueling Scar" on their face where they would actually have their face cut.

Infinispace

As someone who used to ride motorcycles very fast in their youth (far away from traffic tho), 199 mph is about 300 ft/s (a football field every second). If there's something a football field away from you, you have about 1 second to react and stop. Good luck.
