Take a look at this, Jeff Lutz Returns with “Mad Max” Pro Mod Camaro for Quarter-Mile Showdown!
Jeff Lutz, one of the most respected names in the Street Outlaws universe, is back in the spotlight—this time bringing his iconic “Mad Max” Pro Mod Camaro back to the quarter-mile. Fans of high-horsepower machines and twin-turbo thunder are in for a treat as Lutz preps for a major weekend of racing at Norwalk.
The Return of Mad Max: A Twin-Turbo Monster
Lutz’s Mad Max Camaro hasn’t been seen much lately, but this brutal build is far from forgotten. Under the hood is a 540 cubic inch big block Chevy, built on a Trick Flow block, and fed by a pair of massive twin turbos—believed to be 88mm units. This same engine combo has powered several of Jeff’s legendary builds and is proven to be both powerful and insanely fast.
Performance Stats That Speak for Themselves:
-
1/4 Mile Time: Mid 5.70s
-
Top Speed: 251 MPH
-
Setup: Lightweight chassis, twin-turbocharged BBC, proven drag-strip killer
Built for Drag Week and the Street
This isn’t just a race-only machine. The Mad Max Camaro made waves in Hot Rod Drag Week, even holding the record at one point before Tom Bailey overtook it. Lutz also took the car to the streets—literally—when Pro Mods first joined the Street Outlaws 405 List. Back then, the car was painted black and made it as high as #3 before being taken out by Monza’s sinister split-bumper Camaro.
Reliability Over Raw Power
While Mad Max clearly has the horsepower, it’s had some trouble with reliability in the past. But according to recent updates, Jeff Lutz may have finally resolved those issues. That means this weekend’s event could see the Camaro hitting new personal bests—maybe even dipping deeper into the 5.60s or beyond.
Lutz’s Fleet: More Than Just Mad Max
Jeff Lutz doesn’t just rely on one car. His garage features:
-
The GTO: Running a similar twin-turbo BBC combo
-
The ’57 Chevy: Recently upgraded to a twin-turbo HEMI setup
-
The Mustang: Sporting a ProCharged HEMI
Each of these cars has proven itself in No Prep Kings, Drag Week, and grudge matches—but this weekend, it’s all about Mad Max.
Eyes on Norwalk: Can Jeff Lutz Break Records Again?
All signs point to a major comeback for Mad Max. With the right conditions and newfound reliability, Jeff Lutz could once again show why he’s one of the most feared racers in the No Prep and drag racing world.
