The ULTRA RARE Turbocharged Camaro GM Was Too Afraid To Build

The Ultra-Rare Turbocharged Camaro GM Was Too Afraid To Build 🚗💨

In 1981, the Camaro Z28’s power had been tamed by new regulations and fuel crises. But Don Yanko wasn’t about to let muscle cars go out with a whimper. 💥 Partnering with Turbo International, he turbocharged the Z28, creating the legendary Yanko Turbo Z—a car GM was too scared to make. With only 19 units ever produced (16 Stage 1 and 3 Stage 2), this rare beauty delivered 250-300 horsepower and could leave most cars in the dust. 🏁

In this video, we explore the story behind the Yanko Turbo Z, its bold performance mods, and why it’s now a holy grail for collectors. 🔥
