1997 Chevrolet Camaro "The Grubb Worm" by Tick Performance

Driven by Jonathan Atkins and supported by Tick Performance, the 1997 Chevrolet Camaro "The Grubb Worm" is a high-powered stick shift drag car that boasts an astounding 1800 rear-wheel horsepower. Originally powered by a 383ci LT1 engine with hand-ported cast heads and nitrous, the car has evolved into a turbocharged beast. Rock Solid Motorsports fabricated a custom turbo kit, and the engine now runs on a Precision Turbo Pro Mod 102mm turbocharger, putting out 60 psi boost through Trick Flow heads. The Camaro has a suspension setup from AFCO and Menscer Motorsports, and sits on Weld Racing wheels wrapped in Mickey Thompson tires. With a record-breaking time of 7.28 seconds at 196 mph, The Grubb Worm holds the title of the Quickest Domestic Stick Shift Car. The Camaro frequently competes in eighth-mile, quarter-mile, and half-mile events, showcasing its capabilities at major racing events like TX2K.
