BIG RED Camaro - The Texas Mile - March 2011

[thenikoxgtr]

beauty

[Qball914]

i favorited this video before before his run even started just because of the sound of that beautiful engine.

[WhiteTheWolf2]

Oh my god...that is the sound of beauty if I ever heard it, none of today's engines come close to that...

[01SaharaEdition]

Sounded like a warbird goin down the strip, That thing was screamin!

[ugotsmacked1]

listen to her scream! i love the sound and the car!

[HOWARDSRACING]

how do i get in to this action on the next texas mile???? i want it!

[PerryDaPinoy]

did anyone else see the wheel shake at 0:32 ?

[juicedup85]

it doesnt need to corner thats when it slows down for you to catch up in the straigh aways lol

[bobthebuilder6938]

ohhhh that sounds soo beautiful

[xrelapse13]

soo sick, anybody know the set up on this thing?

[AzureHDProducts]

mannn. listen to that thing!!!

[svtcontour]

I liked when this car didnt have the hood scoop. I guess that was a long time ago.

[7mrkicker]

from 1:10 to 1:20 sounds like a nascar on the daytona 500

[discosumo69]

if you dont chew Big Red then fuck you

[ffrgtm5150]

STOOOOPID SICK CAMARO, IM ALMOST TURNED ON .... I NEED TO GO THE BATHROOM....

[lovethingsandsuch]

goddamn beast

[woodgrain18]

man sounds almost like a nascar

[fixitman21]

Like a fine wine



[abdi862]

am from the uk and i love german cars buttt that is hands down the best muscle car i have ever layed eyes on.

[xd500mkll]

HI-END!



[Deathtenation]

but can it corner...?

[hightechcorvette]

@Deathtenation Yes sir it can, I guess you don't know what Big Red is, it's a famous road racing car.

[LOLHICRONO]

@hightechcorvette by corner i think he meant corner quick around a track, but that's a dumb thing to ask since the car was obvously designed to go quickly straight.

sick car.

[matthewgleason75]

@hightechcorvette still got the hotrod magazine where it ran about 220

[coolhondas]

@Deathtenation covered 90 miles in 31 minutes in nevada in the early 90's

[deelong4002]

@Deathtenation What an idiot. It's a road race car.

[jarripotero]

@Deathtenation I have a review from 90´s (not remember the name, Hot Rod, Chevy Power, Muscle Car...) and appears this car, it has tubular chassis, driver was a Dave Gottlieb?? Regards from Madrid...

[geeknproud321]

@Deathtenation yes it can. have been reading about this car for years and it s impressively modified.

[IssaBendeck1]

@Deathtenation who da fuck cares dummy lol we r talking the fastest top one mile run here is you want to corner you will just have to change d cars configuration and you can corner with it too once you are at the right track so NOT A BIG DEAL AND STAY IN CLASS kiddo

[BOREDfromX2z]

@Deathtenation are u on crack, look at how the car suspension is set up, and do those look like cheap street tires to u

[MrJimbo98z]

@Deathtenation A) Yes. B) Who cares? It's setup to haul ass in a straight line in this configuration.

[MoosaiLuver]

Oh God....

I could cry it's so beautiful....

[TheBadCommercials]

I died when he hit 3rd gear.

[moparcarsonly]

now that's what i call sound

[KillaPillaP]

It's not just a Camaro. It's a BIG RED Camaro.

[franklin29412]

sounds like a damn nascar haha! i love that sound



[hotpocketzaregood]

the two dislikes are from epileptics that hit the wrong button

[FABRIC8TIONUNLIMITE1]

Thumbs up if you open another page & go to big red camaro dot com and watch this vid. W/ their theme music and vid audio to.

[FABRIC8TIONUNLIMITE1]

For those that don't know that is the famous Big Red Camaro. The car that spawned Pro Touring, WOW 217.1 MPH @ 1:21 Dan Gottlieb & son RJ built the ultimate muscle car with the body of a 69 camaro & the guts of a race car. It was constructed to beat any modern production car on the road, Big Red is a dominant force in flat out road racing.

[hotpocketzaregood]

it sounds like fucking nascar

[johnsskatestuff]

Sounds like a badass Nascar 

[m6205]

@johnsskatestuff lol i just thinking that too

[Oldsking]

That car is just nasty :) Even since its appearance YEARS ago everyone who knows top speed cars knows BIG RED. All natural aspiration at its finest

[TheMozes555]

Long gears, love it. This car is boss.

[1FastGT500]

Great run and at 1:12, It sounded like a Nascar.

[ovatop]

2 people have hondas..  :P

[ThatFastXSport]

I remember seeing this thing in an old VHS tape I had covering the Silver State Classic. Good to know it's still kicking.

[rompn4x]

I love the sound of a big block turning over 8,000 rpm's =)

[kc8ntp]

The drag coefficient that this car has is astronomical, so very well done. Imagine this same engine in a modern Camaro; probably would hit closer to 260!

[kalavrich]

the sound oh the sound!



[chronictoker1]

this is just fucking bad ass.

[22mpb]

the 1st to 2nd shift sounds the same in camaro's. beautiful

[6IXBrandon6IX]

Sounds like a fucking P-52 flying by!

[Brownr67]

The legend,.. The originator, the baddest ever as Hot Rod Magazine designated it. Big Red.

[22mpb]

This baby sounds so raw. Its pure beauty.

[sparket77]

The dislike line is like a ninja.

You know it's there, But you can't see it :-D

[ryandonian]

It's... so... beautiful...

It's almost majestic.

[razzo749]

Long ago, before there was computer controlled injection with variable timing and ultra lightweight exotic composite materials formed into super aerodynamic low drag shapes there was RAW, BRUTE POWER!! There was Big Red!! Glad to see it today still sendind the big dogs home with their heads down and their tails between their legs whining about second place!

[yammieR12003]

Yes, there are forced induction cars that are faster than Big Red in the standing mile, but the thing that impresses me about this car is that it has the durability to run the silver state classic AVERAGING 200 mph for 90 miles. Im not sure if those other cars could pull that off.

[kc8ntp]

@yammieR12003 I live in Ely, Nevada, so I get to see the cars that run the Silver State and Nevada open-road challenge. I am always amazed at the cars that can keep the engines together for the duration of the course.

[Adam781]

216 and it's still N/A? Banana's.

[WhutThePhuq]

god it must be scary as fuckin shit going that fast

[SlickShoesC6]

Possibly the bitchinest muscle car of our generation. Seriously.



[newengland72]

1:14-1:20 Love that Ol' School Bonneville sound.

Never stop running Big Red!

[zLOSTNOMOREz]

Is this THE big red Camaro that i used to see in hot rod and car craft years ago?

[hightechcorvette]

@zLOSTNOMOREz Yep, same one.

[TheGunslinger2001]

@zLOSTNOMOREz I still have the Hot Rod mag you are talking about...dont like the scoop they have on the hood now, looked much better in the mag

[sewallm60]

yeah 540 inchs of big block

[xokylerox]

the one person to dislike this video is mad because their speakers don't work. lol

[379drvr1]

that car has been a bad ass for decades, didn't the driver get a ticket at 200+ back in the 90's?

[pearclips]

@379drvr1 I dont know about the ticket, but this thing has been well above 200 MpH many times in the Sliver State classic , his average speed for the entire course was just short of 200 MPH in the video I watched clear back in 1990.

[meo600]

My ears are pregnant...

[Fauls88]

That car is a fuckin monster! I just came...

[Donsfast]

was that 217 on the last run??? this has been my favorite car for years!

[missionarypro]

i would take that car ANY fay over most anything. lose that front scoop and its even better

[Huhakungfu]

.......nothing like a V8 sound...hands down.

[CopperheadViper]

WOW listen to that crunchy V8.

[donzifanatic]

holyyyy crapp listen to that baby singg!!

[bamaballa205]

The sound of pure muscle. Didn't see 200+ coming. SIck Car

[AnNdYy69]

Name of the song? "Camaro" O_O

[Dman2569]

I love that car!!!! Sexy!!!

[abdi862]

am a big fan of Europe nd jap cars but that camaro is one bad asss looking car! stupid UK we never get those cars here :((

[MrChevelle123]

Best sound on youtube...

[PacifistReaper]

I gotta have that CAR, OMG

[zythepsarian]

sounds like a nascar goin full out

[pierrecruzalmeida]

1:16 this reminds me the nascar cars.

[1bojanbojan]

wwwwwwwoowwhatas sound

[ekbusdriver]

Damn, as stupid fast as that car is, it must have almost been at 100 when shifting into 2nd!!!!

[MrDhs21]

sounds like a nascar!

[TheMozes555]

This thing rules

[willie201000]

theres supposed to be a documentary about big red coming out sometime soon.

[armwrestling23]

grate run looked very stable and 216 mph in a standing mile is a damn fast car and who can ignore that v8 sound

[Cognetto]

Sounds like a Pissed off tiger when he revs it...awesome!!!

[danicapatrick12]

some grocery getter!!!

[MrRockysquirl]

Uhm it's not racing "trim", it is a full on race car. It's not a Donovan anymore, it's a Brodix block with AFR heads. Donovan only sells a block that has 2" of cooling below the deck in it and that wouldn't work with Big Red.

[byronbja]

lets see a honda go 217 na

[CdnArms]

@byronbja you cant compare a 4banger with an 8 at a top speed... there simply just isint enough displacement from the engine to push the car any faster

[byronbja]

@CdnArms thats what im sayin

[CdnArms]

@byronbja well exactly! you can't compare them, and that's what you're doing...

[byronbja]

@CdnArms yyou dont get it dude

[Tatersalad0504]

<333333 gorgeous car

[bowslap]

That car has mesmerized me ever since reading about Joe Petitt's ride-along in the pages of Hot Rod magazine so many years ago. People can bitch all they want about red Camaros....this one delivers the goods.

[MaxCruise73]

I know the really fast cars are all turbo-charged, but there is nothing like the sound of a naturally aspirated V-8 running at full song. Plus that old Camaro looks great in full racing trim.

[gunsandguitars]

@MaxCruise73 213 isnt really fast? Also, this car runs road courses and smokes Porsche's and Cobras, etc... some of the drag cars at the Texas mile are straight line only.

[BigSloan413]

@MaxCruise73 Amen.

[zx12ryder]

i seen it run at Mojave this year.....pretty cool

[HY2THA4TH]

whos NASCAR motor did he still??

[105OUTLAW1]

@HY2THA4TH if it had any part from a NASCAR car it probably would have crashed! THUMBS UP

[StabyMcStabsFace]

@HY2THA4TH What? That's a 540 Donovan.

[blk420man]

so many excuses.



[sihombre81]

NASCAR 

[ramirosan145]

when did gottlieb add a hood scoop?

[twinturbo1995]

All motor :D

[Monte1970SS]

Big Block Baby!

[OldsPowered69]

kind of sounds like a nascar...sweet 69

[texwill77]

MMMMM.....that is the sound of bliss.....

[chevelle454ss1]

Badass camaro was this all motor or was it f/i?

[s5howboi89]

leave it to chevy to do the damn thing

[RotorMedic7]

@daybreak1HP

I believe that was just a passenger in the car...

[Paganiproductions]

What is the current spec of big red?

[xbrunovudux]

@Paganiproductions BBC 540 naturally aspirated, 874hp and 655 ft lbs of torque, 4-speed...

[Paganiproductions]

@xbrunovudux

That was the old spec

[MrTexasmark]

Big Red thanks Hightechcorvette for the coverage great video thank you

The car actualy ran 217.1 twice on friday and then ran 213-216 sat. and sun

bad wind and terrible air

they were hoping for the mid 220's oh well something to shoot for next year see you then

[MrTexasmark]

first video was with camera man and gear about 250lb extra and corrected altitude of 2450ft. not and all gas motors friend not to mention 10-15mph headwind which is definitly not Big Reds friend.

No Aero Brute horespower only

[eclipse10101]

[v8sten94]

[TurboGSR96]

[jumper1294]
