If this car doesn’t put a big-ass smile on your face, you are on the wrong site. Drag racing has a strong place here, but I’m more of a road course guy and SCCA Trans-Am racing is my jam. Steel bodies, engines that were limited to five liters of displacement, and looking all the world like the most violent variation of the pony cars that they were representing, period-correct Trans-Am racers are rev-happy beasts that create some great dreams…wide and wider rolling stock, headlights, taillights, glass, some interior pieces. Everything about this car and it’s brethren is ideal. Small details stand out against a stock street car, like the different fuel filler and the wider rear haunches, but…well, you know what? Who gives a shit. I would donate body parts to science for a prayer to drive this car in any venue whatsoever. One pissed-off 302ci Chevrolet that’s rocking old-school grunt and new-school power levels in a shape that just might be GM’s sexiest creation? All day long and twice on Sunday. And if I could, I’d do exactly what this guy did…I’d have it on the street with exactly zero apologies to be made. There’s enough farm roads around where I live. I’d have no trouble at all letting the hills reverberate with this kind of music.
God I love that sound! Brings back many memories of why I love this sport/hobby/addiction so much. McT, please keep introducing new sites that some of us are unaware of, so on early Sunday mornings we can get a education on what is out there!
My boss went to school with Jim Hall’s son. I heard many Jim Hall stories but never knew he raced a ’70 Camaro. Cool stuff!
What is the purpose of doing donuts in a historically significant Camaro?
I guess I am getting old!
AMAZING…two assholes in the beginning of the tape doing stupid stuff WITHOUT SEATBELTS AND HELMETS.
send these two jackasses back to the darwinian zoo.
John, the only \”asshole\” here is YOU! Tommy is just having fun with Shawn and you\’re just a jealous Yugo driving DUCHEBAG!
Guys are b being kinda douchey really.
wow, I couldn’t watch the whole thing.. gorgeous awesome car, but as soon as that fool asked, “is it a 350?” really? a goddamn TransAm race car and you asked if it’s a 350? then the other fool is like, “these are slicks”, what, slicks? those are full on treaded tires, possible race rain tires, but, does he even know what slicks are? hey, glad you guys have a ton of money and you’re at least not wasting it on boring shit, and at least into cars, but for Christ’s sake… What a waste of a video, hope someone with actual car knowledge gets a hold of this car and puts out a good video, would love to hear actual gearheads and race aficionados talk about this car… I’ll be waiting.
I had to fast forward through some of it… like the hood fitment discussion… is it a 350? yeah, I just went to the parts where it was the car making noise.
Jay Leno’s Garage, this is not.
Soon as the guy swore that was it for me. And then Dude? All my years announcing I never once lowered myself to a grade 10 stoner level, guess I expect too much when I watch vids.
If you’re going to present yourself as a host/interviewer at least make an effort.
That could have been a great clip, but the wrong guy did it.
Driving like a dumb ass on street……. just plain STUPID.
As soon as the donuts started I quit. ANYONE can do a donut.
