We only just learned about the 2012 Chevrolet Camaro ZL1's Nürburgring lap time on Wednesday through a tweet from a GM spokesperson, yet the Detroit automaker has already released video footage from its run of the Nordschleife.

Video: Chevy Camaro Dragster's Rear Axle Snaps at Lift-Off

One of the scariest things that can happen to a racer on the drag strip (or during any motorsport-related event, for that matter), is a serious mechanical failure as even the slightest problem can have disastrous consequences when you're moving at high-speeds.

For the driver of this first generation Chevrolet Camaro dragster, it all started with the first run when he lost control of the car and hit the sidewall.

Evidently, the driver and/or his team did not take a look or they failed to see that the car suffered significant damages when it collided with the cement wall. As a result, during the second run, the rear axle completely snapped off!

GM's 2007 Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra Promo Video

A promotional video for GM's all-new 2007 Chevy Silverado and 2007 GMC Sierra large trucks. GM wants us to believe that both models will help alter its lineup to include less "gas guzzlers" and more alternative fuel vehicle...

To do that, the Sierra offers a FlexFuel engine which allows consumers to run their vehicles using regular gasoline, E85 ethanol or a combination of both while, according to GM, the Silverado's new body design is more aerodynamic thus reducing drag and improving fuel economy.
