1:25 sounded like metal grinding

[Benguitar1991]

Was that twenty to eighty in about four seconds?

One day I shall have one... One day...

[mehlville97]

Let me tell all you old baby boomer farts something. My Honda civic could blow the doors off this american made boat anchor. I have been feeding the mice in my motor meth. and if thats not enough I just installed a new Maxwell House double the caffein muffler. Plus i mounted an old wing off a DC-3 on the back off it. So by the time you start this chevelle ill be hitting golf balls on the moon......

[nightmoves420]

@mehlville97 LOL, your a joke. Take your rice burner and move over seas and run it there. If your not going to run American you belong there.

[XboobtubeX]

@mehlville97 you snot nose kids know nothing about back in the day muscle cars. Do you really believe a muffler and wing amount to anything when it comes to horsepower? If you do, then you have a lot of growing up to do.

Great Car

whats granny shifting?

[brettt777]

I don't care how big of turbo or how much nitrous they put in a tuner, or how fast it goes, they could never have that big block sound and never be as cool as this. I had a friend years ago that had a '70 Olds 442 W-30 with the 455, M-22, 4.10's and red on black. It sounded and ran much like this one. Way cool. I told the wife last night that we need to have a muscle car in the family again. She agreed. I have an '06 Ram with a 5.7L Hemi. It's fun but it doesn't look and sound like this one...

@brettt777

I agree.

Hard to beat the sound of an old school big block with a solid lifter cam banging like this one does.

Good luck with the hunt for a muscle car. I hope you find exactly what you want.

@brettt777 man i agree!..i had a 69 442 w-32 with a 455 in it and it had a stick...i miss that car so much i had to sell it cause i moved to an apartment and i had no where to park it..i didn't want to park it in the street so i had no choice but to sell it...the 442 i had was so damn fast and all it had was a original alluminum intake manifold a 750 carb and ported heads....shifting the gears on it was so fun...i just love hearing the sound of a bigblock going down the street shifting gears..

@brettt777 сколько стоит стандартный такой автомобиль без турбо?! I WANT HIM!!!

[brettt777]

Sweet ride man. I have always been a Chevelle guy myself. I always had '68s but my next one will definitely be a '70. I gotta ask a stupid question. Yours have a very nice lumpy idle. Is that a stock cam and exhaust or is it aftermarket? I know Chevy put some pretty large cams in their big blocks back in the day...

[roadtesttv]

@brettt777

Thanks.

It has the stock L78 solid-lifter cam with hooker headers running into 2 1/2 inch exhaust and Flowmaster mufflers.

Thanks for watching.

Getting motored on by a sleeper Chevelle when your driving an 11.60 Nova, must have been a surprise.

Thanks for sharing.

[Mr1BADMFR]

[roadtesttv]

@Boggle122333

Thanks. Chevy got it right with the Cowl Induction hood on the Chevelle.

Great to watch it open when your driving and bury the throttle.

Thanks for watching.

[14Dollar]

Great to see an original dash. What a beautiful color for that car.

[roadtesttv]

Thanks for the comment and for watching.

I agree. Fathom Blue was a great Chevelle color.

[dacodoco]

[carsbyjeff]

Awesome Chevelle! Sweet Rumble, Sounds like a Rock Crusher 4 speed? M22...

[roadtesttv]

But it does sound like an M22 in video.

Thanks.
