Chevrolet Camaro ZL1, Modified for Extra 18 HP, Dyno Explodes in the Test! [Video]

Car owners can put their vehicles to the dyno test from time to time. This test provides an understanding of the engine performance of a vehicle. With the dyno test, the performance loss in the engine and the state of the powertrain can be understood. Tests, often carried out in garages, yield important results for car owners.

However, not every dyno test will be successful. Sometimes, especially high-performance cars can run into problems during dyno testing. Now we will tell you about such an event. A performance upgrade to an 811 horsepower Camaro ZL1 was a disaster. While the car, whose transmission broke down, was engulfed in flames, the owner of the vehicle was injured due to the incident.

They wanted the already monstrous car to produce slightly higher horsepower

The reason why the car, which was pulled into the garage for the Camaro Fest XII events, was asked to perform a dyno test was to improve the performance of the vehicle a little more. The team, which had no problems during the first dyno test, faced a terrible event during the second test when it performed the performance settings. The car, which was suddenly engulfed in flames, deployed its airbags. The driver, who was in the vehicle at that time, was injured as a result of the explosion of the airbag.

The performance improvement made it possible to increase the power of the vehicle to 829 horsepower. Just before the problem, the speed of the vehicle was measured as 262 km / h. Examining the dyno test results, the team announced that there was a transmission-related problem during the disaster. Despite everything, there is something rejoicing in this terrible event. The Camaro ZL1, which was engulfed in flames, is still usable.
