Camaro Super-Hugger . . . er, Hobbit

This Camaro "super-hugger" checks nearly all of the boxes on the drag racer's to-do list: immense "blown" (supercharged) V-8, extroverted paint colors, flames, stripes, side-pipes. What you can't tell from the picture above ...
... is that this particular Camaro has been narrowed, chopped, channeled, and otherwise cut down to hobbit size.
Munchkinland has a drag strip. Who knew?

I can't see what is on the rear tires, but with a small man or woman driving this it would be quick with the reduction of weight and wind drag. Of course dragging a short wheel based vehicle presents its own problems...

...i guess something's off with my sense of perspective, but it doesn't look conspicuously smaller than normal to me...

Having owned a Big Block 67 camaro, having the valve covers well above the level of the hood was a pretty good tip off.

Yeah, but how good of a daily driver can it be if you can't even see around the engine? Maybe the next mod the owner puts in will be a convertible top or sunroof (ooo! T-top!) so the driver can see over the top of that beastly engine. Either way, I think if I saw this in real life I'd fall over myself laughing up until -and probably after- the owner came over and kicked my ass.

I absolutely love Ansen Sprint slotted aluminum wheels. That's the most positive thing I can say about this car.

Yeah, I don't think it's that small, either. It's quite obvious, though, that what it has in design and engine, it lacks in space and drag area. But that's the advantage of the car, right? Like what Chris said, it has less weight and wind drag. I guess it was really meant for racing.
