School of Automotive Machinists
1998 Camaro Z28
June 2008
Power? We got your power. How about a 500 ci LS2 Rat busting out 923 hp and 906 lb-ft of torque that runs on pump gas? Loaded with a Power Glide transmission for drag purposes, this ’98 Z28 could actually make street sense with an overdrive. But this calling card for the School of Automotive Machinists (SAM) in Houston, Texas is an actual learning tool to showcase the talents of the school’s students—something they all take huge pride in.
With car owner Linda Massingill behind the wheel, a field trip to the drag strip is the main testing grounds for the students to watch their extensive schoolwork reach a top speed of 139 mph in the quarter-mile¬—fast enough to keep the class’ undivided attention, even if it’s only for 9.50 seconds.
Well, this stellar fourth-gen got our attention; enough to make it as a Ten Best of 2008.
