7 Seconds 555ci Twin Turbo ’56 Pro Street Bel Air Smokes ’67 Camaro Easy!
A 555ci Twin Turbo ’56 Pro Street Bel Air is a custom-built version of the 1956 Chevrolet Bel Air that has been modified for high performance and drag racing. The “555ci” refers to the engine size, which is a significant increase over the original engine size of the 1956 Bel Air. This likely means that the engine block has been bored and stroked to increase the displacement, and the addition of twin turbochargers would significantly increase the horsepower and torque of the engine.
The “Pro Street” designation refers to the fact that this car is built for street use but also has significant racing performance capabilities. This type of car is often customized to include wider tires and wheels, custom suspension, and other modifications to improve its performance on the track.
The 1967 Chevrolet Camaro is a classic muscle car that was produced by Chevrolet from 1967 to 1969. It was introduced as a direct competitor to the Ford Mustang and was available in a wide range of engine options, from a 230 cubic-inch straight-six to a 427 cubic-inch V8. The 1967 Camaro was available in a variety of body styles, including a coupe, convertible and a rare, production limited, RS/SS (Rally Sport/Super Sport) package. It featured a sleek design with a long hood and short deck, and it was praised for its handling and performance capabilities.
When it first hit the streets in 1950 the Chevrolet Bel Air was a car that was meant to take you places, but it was the kind of car that was never intended to do it in a hurry since this beautiful automobile was all about stile luxury and enjoying the trip.
