Good news, lovers of excessively powerful pony cars: you can now walk into certain Chevrolet dealership and buy yourself a near-1000bhp Camaro for a bargain price. And by bargain we’re talking $90,000, for a car with hypercar levels of power.

It’s all thanks to Oklahoma tuner Fireball, which has just unveiled its Fireball 900 Camaro at the enormous SEMA show in Las Vegas. “That’s right, we built a 990 flywheel horsepower, street-legal, track-capable Camaro that will send Hellcats and Roush Mustangs fleeing for their garages,” Fireball proudly states, as well as pointing that the price tag means you’re effectively getting “$100 per horse”. Why aren’t all press releases written like this?

The newfound power comes courtesy of a massive array of shiny new parts, including a supercharger, a beefed up top end with custom camshafts, high performance lifters, new valve springs and more, a shoutier exhaust system and new intake manifold. To cope with the near-1000bhp figure, the Fireball 900 also gets a new aluminium drive shaft and stronger axles, while the exterior is treated to fresh wheels, a custom bonnet and some kind of ‘ground effects’ that aren’t detailed.

The want is strong…

Growing up on a diet of World Rally Championship highlights and lengthy Gran Turismo 2 sessions, a life in cars was as good as inevitable for Matt.

I imagine this is just chevy trying to catch up to the mustang’s crashing record.

Put some meaty drag radials on there and it will hopefully go into the 9’s in the quarter mile

Rip mustang, hello crowds

I’m Rick Harrison, and this is my pawn shop. I work here with my old man and my son, Big Hoss. Everything in here has a story and a price. One thing I’ve learned after 21 years - you never know what is gonna come through that door.

I came here to make a similar comment but you beat me to it!

And I thought the ZL1 and 1LE were insane enough.

I see what theyre doing. Ford has the gt350 with 500 hp for around 50k, dodge has the hellcat with 700 hp for around 70k, and chevy has this Camero with 900hp for around 90k.
