The new 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1 recently made waves in the high-performance world with a little aftermarket tweaking by the Lingenfelter Performance Engineering company. After upgrading the supercharged 6.2-liter V8 from 580 horsepower to more than 700 horses with three upgrade packages, the company took the car to the Muncie Dragway in Albany, Indiana, on Monday to put it to the test.

David Freiburger, the editor-in-chief of HOT ROD magazine, got behind the wheel of this supercharged muscle car and put the pedal to the metal. He raced the Camaro up to 202.67 miles per hour, the first time a ZL1 passed the 200-mph mark. This test run also boasted another first for the Camaro ZL1, a quarter-mile drive in less than 11 seconds. The Chevy's first run in the 10s took 10.79 seconds with a top speed of 134.36 mph.

"The Lingenfelter crew couldn't be more excited to make history as the first 2012 ZL1 Camaro to exceed 200 mph, and to celebrate this victory on the heels of becoming the first company to run a ZL1 in the 10s," said Ken Lingenfelter, owner of Lingenfelter Performance Engineering. "We are very proud to have David drive our car and to share this accomplishment with HOT ROD magazine, an icon in the world of speed and high-performance vehicles."

The performance company installed a custom camshaft, special cylinder heads, new top and bottom pulleys, a custom air intake filter, tires and wheels. This gave the car 720 hp and 650 lb-ft. of torque, making it more powerful than the 2013 Shelby GT500, which claims to be the most powerful production car in the world.

While a high-powered race car may not be in the cards for every driver, those looking for used cars in NJ with a bit of a kick will find plenty of makes and models at New Jersey State Auto Auction.
