Alex isn’t your (stereo)typical 16 year old American teenager. She’s a car gal and an aspiring drag racer who just completed her first 11 second quarter mile pass this year running in a modified 1968 Chevrolet Camaro powered by an LS1 V8 that used to be her mom’s.

The crew from 1320Videos who recorded the teen’s efforts commented: “Alex is one lucky girl, not only does she have an amazing family that has helped her build this beautiful Camaro, she was able to take a whole week off school to race for 6 days straight across the midwest on Drag Week 2013. Not only is her car beautiful, but it’s pretty damn quick too!”

See her running down the drag strip in the video that follows the jump below.
