Yenko Camaro L78 396 CI -8 – 425 Horsepower
The first generation of the Camaro is one of the most iconic cars on the road. But even rarer were the Yenko editions of the car known for their serious horsepower and notable speed. Yenko was an outfitter that gave the cars increased power and performance. The L78 V8 engine under the hood of the Yenko changed the game. It wasn’t the average engine that you were used to seeing in one of these cars (via Motor Trend).
The crew who put the Yenko models together went all-out, and the horsepower was evident. The stellar look and feel of the car were impressive enough, but it was the feeling you got when you were behind the wheel that changed the game. The Camaro itself is a car that redefined the muscle car era by adding some serious power into the mix. As a result, this V8 was the stuff of legends.
