Take a ride in a 1969 Camaro Z28 DZ 302 with Chambered Exhaust {crank up the volume}

[beeroosterm]

Needs a Gear Vendors overdrive unit.

[XboobtubeX]

@beeroosterm No, thats the 4:10 gears in the rear. these 302's you need to rev to

get the power band out of them. A overdrive unit would be a bad thing.

[Pronghorn67]

Very nice. What transmission do you have?  Sounds like the perfect gearing for that motor.

[XboobtubeX]

@Pronghorn67 original, numbers matching, Muncie 4 speed M21 trans

[ScottieDTV]

Nice Car and roads..u live in the south?

[XboobtubeX]

@ScottieDTV no...south central PA..the road was new as u see by the plastic orange barrels around

[ScottieDTV]

@XboobtubeX lol..They won't be that way for long up there...

[XboobtubeX]

@ScottieDTV lol i know...the way they like to pile on the salt..

[MrSkorpio66]

The 302 was made for road racing and a constant high rpm powerband.

[XboobtubeX]

@MrSkorpio66 Correct you are....really not made as a "grocery getter"

[DB69z]

Nice car. What do you have it jetted at?

[60camarochick]

NICE RIDE!

[bg147]

Pound for pound, the Chevy 302 is my favorite motor. Everyone loves the huge big blocks with tons of low end torque, but the short stroke in this little motor generates all of that high end power. It seems to be unappreciated by many. I gotta think a big block 396 in these smaller cars killed handling.

[XboobtubeX]

@bg147 I agree with you 100%. The little 302 was the engine that could, but the big blocks got more attn. The lighter weight of the 302 made the camaro's handle so much better.

[bindinglines]

@XboobtubeX Yup............the BB just literally threw itself around. Guys used to brag on the shear

(violence) of a BB mistaking out of control power for street smart driving. I think the real DZ model even

had the advantage of frame lightening. She made a good driver better.

[harddrivin1le]

My bone stock 2010 makes this car seem slow ...

[XboobtubeX]

@harddrivin1le your a idiot. I was not giving it all it has. The engine is not a fresh build. lets see what your "bone stock" can do in 2052 against a 2051 car. That is, if you still own it. Of course a newer car is going to be faster then a 42 yr old car that has a stock engine of the day. I read your other comments you post on other videos and it seems everything you have is better then what everyone else has. seems like you never got past 12 yrs. old. slower or not, I would still own a 1969.

[ericlathamable]

@XboobtubeX gotta say im much more jealous of the guy with the 69 great car and im sure mr. harddrivin1le is too.... your one of a few thousand compared to the few hundred thousand who already bought a new one like this dumbas why doenst he have a 69 z28? either he couldnt afford one, didnt have the common sense to buy a classic, wouldnt be able to handle the power of a z28, or maybe even just found out what a z28 is when he figured he should learn about the history of his cool new car he bought

[XboobtubeX]

@ericlathamable I could not have said it better.

[ericlathamable]

@XboobtubeX you should take a look at the debate ive been having with some guy about cars being stock on the video Battle Of The Supercars Camaro SS vs. Shelby GT500 Mustang Part 1

[ericlathamable]

hes prob got a v6 2010 with a nice auto tranny lol

[XboobtubeX]

@ericlathamable yea..haha

[averylyndsee]

what cam you running? 30-30 or one of the off-road grinds?

[XboobtubeX]

@averylyndsee 30-30

[metallicasg100]

damn i would kill to have a chevy 302

[XboobtubeX]

@metallicasg100 haha.....thanks for watching...it is a dream to drive..

[metallicasg100]

@XboobtubeX i bet it is, i would just like to be able to ride in one

[92camarors25]

@ fixitman21 a chevrolet 302 is a 327 block, 283 crank, L79 heads off a corvette, bigger exhaust valves and intake ports if u ever want to build one

[96FireChicken]

@XboobtubeX

Amen brotha. keep that thing in nice shape. 

[XboobtubeX]

@96FireChicken you can count on that

[carsbyjeff]

Simply Fabulous!!!

[JackFrost0123]

Sounds great! The DZ302s really have a distinctive sound.

[XboobtubeX]

@JackFrost0123 yes they do...thanks for watching

[skipfrancis]

Very cool vid...awesome sound.

[judgegixxer]

Sweet sounds from a cool car

[XboobtubeX]

@judgegixxer thanks

[choppaken]

NIIIIIIIICCCCEEEEE

[KHAN1350]

thats freaking awesome! that is THE shiz i love it

i know this shouldn't matter when it comes to muscle cars but whats the mpg on that just cruising?

[XboobtubeX]

@KHAN1350 just cruising I would guess around 14-16 mpg.

It has 4:10 gears, so it revs high all the time. But it was not

built for fuel economy and if you are concerned with that, don't buy or build one.

It is a "toy" to take out and play with at times. And I buy 110 octane racing gas(at $7.30) a gallon)

and mix it with 93 octane at the pump to give me a result of 100 octane. It runs great on this mixture. So a 60's muscle car is only for those people who are willing to spend the extra money.

[KHAN1350]

@XboobtubeX

see im looking for a first car (im 16) and im gonna be looking everywhere for a classic/muscle

i do have the hookups to restore (such as someone willing to let me use their shop, my old workplace)

i did find some cars that were just sitting in storage lots and all i gotta do is pay un paid lot fees

but i would also check out junk yards im still looking something with a 305 or 350

[XboobtubeX]

@KHAN1350 good luck

[fixitman21]

@KHAN1350 Mine had a 3.08 rear gear and it got 20 MPG on the highway.

[ScoopDaddy488]

@fixitman21 Then you didnt have a 69 z28 they only came with 3.73s or 4.10s and four speeds only. I guess you could have changed the gears then maybe you would be correct. I doubt a 302 would get anywhere near 20, It was a purpose built race engine pretty much. You would have to have some high gearing just to move these things, no torque it was all or nothing with the z28.

[fixitman21]

@ScoopDaddy488 No, I did not have a Z28. I had a 350 in mine. Just stating that in 1969 you could get a kick ass car and still get 20MPG.

[REDsnip3r]

check out the vid i attached, watch that beast flex some muscle too. :)

[XboobtubeX]

@REDsnip3r check out my other videos of this car I have on my channel. the 1934 Chevy is mine also.

[REDsnip3r]

damn! beautiful car! you know that is my dream car right? gorgeous car buddy!!!! Great vid! next time ill just hold the camera for you!! lol

[XboobtubeX]

@REDsnip3r thanks man...ok.. next time you can be the camera man. but you have to promise to sit down, shut up and hold on..haha

[187streetsoldier]

So this is what heaven's like huh

[XboobtubeX]

@187streetsoldier yes sir

[McCoyzzzzz]
