4 Cam's in my 69 Camaro 540 Big Block

[hockeybich13]

damn.. that 2-3 shift...

[Chaos15000]

top right cam should be on the speedo instead

[5BobbyDavis]

I like it ,just hurts my eyes trying to see it all at one time.

[gtocarguy]

what kind of exhaust are you running

[moparkhunga]

Awsome ride along video man!, Keep them coming!

[rubypuppy7]

i like how u drive!

[epicfailedvideoz]

misleading. was expecting something else. nice video though.

[540merlin]

@epicfailedvideoz Yes and no.

[nicknsk8er]

NICE!

[JeppapeppaN]

One thing I wonder! How can you afford this and a '70s corvette but you can't afford a desent computer? D: Naah JK! I LOVE your vids! I would do anything to get one of those cars! Almost anything! Anyhow, I subbed to you and that sub is well spent! :D Keep it up!

[sk8forlife90]

do honda civic drivers ever challenge you?

[avenger1281]

This is the best car video on the internet, without question. No talking, no music, just the sights and sounds, and the 4-camera setup is incredible. This beast of a '69 Camaro being filmed is just icing on the cake.

[Chaosfurry93]

At the end of the video what is the pumping of brakes before burnout?

[17VINCE]

Hey there mr.dave, camaro still looks good as usual and you have some very creative vids..I've posted some new vids of my engine rebuild,I will post some vids similar to yours eventually,can't wait to see what kind of vids you come up with next!!

Vince

[philip21786]

Jk. But I bet the brakes on that car hate you!

[philip21786]

I am going to write you a ticket for running that stop sign at about 0:45

[groutaone]

Put a smile on my face watching you play with some muscle, cool video

[DeAdiSSu3]

Was that line-lock at the end of the vid?

[guillo88]

i love your camarooo!!!!!

[trevor1536]

Damn your Car is a beast but yet i've never seen it do a 1/4 pass at mission yet how come Street Legals Every friday during the summer 35$ to race just need a Car number

[540merlin]

@trevor1536 It won't pass tech. I need a cage, driveshaft loop, nitrous vent. But it's all coming eventually.

[xdarkmanx]

liquid crack of muscle cars!!!!

[540merlin]

@xdarkmanx I guess that's a good thing.

[xdarkmanx]

@540merlin sensory overload, you are the man times 4 now!!!!

[6speedlover]

Your 540 only has 1 Cam Dave lol, j/k.... This is one of my favorite vids. by you :-) I love them all, but they keep getting better. Btw, 1:40- 1:50 is a 100% Bonner .... This is asking alot, but.......... Can you get a vid. of your Camaro with slicks doing a 1/4 mile run??? Burnouts, and smoking the tires through the gears is cool as hell, but im curious what that Beast does in the quater... Thanx again for the vid.

[540merlin]

@6speedlover I'm working on exactly that video. It will be a while however. Keep watching.

[Xarmy187]

The way you talk about the computer, I think its more that you need a dual, or quad core processor then a ton of ram.

As for the video, I think its the best you have made yet!!! and you know I watch all your stuff, haha.

The only thing I would change, is I would only show one camera at a time, buy switch from camera to camera on different pulls/burnouts, and even replay the same part over again a couple times, but a different camera each time.

hope that makes sense.

[540merlin]

@Xarmy187 The computer was decent when I got it in Sept 2008. I should probably replace the whole thing soon.One scene at a time was sort of the alternative, but I wanted to da a multiple PIP video. I've got another multi-camera one coming up that I'll edit one shot at a time. Keep watching.

[Xarmy187]

@540merlin yea computers get out of date in about six months now a days. I look forward to more! going to be a good summer!

[TheCopperhead572]

Nice video, It made my month.Do you plan on attending any car shows this summer.?

[540merlin]

@TheCopperhead572 Whistler Corvette weekend in August, taking the Camaro though so i can autocross it. I didn't see BionicDance in your subscriptions. Check her out.

[g60scuzz]

This makes me excited to embed the camera setup in my car

[540merlin]

@g60scuzz Like permanent?

[g60scuzz]

@540merlin, Yes actually, they make CCTV cams that connect to wireless networks with 12volt power input. I was going to embed one in my car so it automatically connected to my server at home and record automatically when its in range , then I realized the true potential after seeing people post idiot drivers and the like all kinds of good footage to be had here. Already have a computer in the car so it would record there even using the same free zonealarm cctv software but while driving instead.

[BerriesMcGOO]

I though you tested 4 different cams lol oh well

[540merlin]

@BerriesMcGOO It never crossed my mind that anyone would think that. Funny.

[brian55lvr]

sweet vid----i want to do the same thing--

[540merlin]

@brian55lvr Thanks, you should do the same thing - I'd love to see how someone else would do a similar video. It was actually kind of fun rtying to figire out the best way to shoot it and the best way to edit it. I think my computer needs more RAM...

[427ImportEater]

youve done it again dave..very nice. Great angles and good quality considering you had to find 4 cameras. Once again, awesome!

[540merlin]

@427ImportEater The hard part was not finding the cameras (I have teenage daughters), the hard part was mounting them in a meaningful way in my car without being visible. How about that "pedal" shot? I can't beleive how well that angle turned out.

[427ImportEater]

@540merlin I was watching that pedal shot most of the time, especially on the harder shifting. Will your tko handle a full throttle shift? I wouldnt expect it to shift 930 horse like that but what do you think of 625?

[540merlin]

@427ImportEater I've never power-shifted in my life, if that's what you mean.

[550HPGTO]

Ive watched your vids so many times i can navigate my way through your neighborhood now. =]]

[540merlin]

@550HPGTO That's funny. I'll shoot the next one somewhere else to confuse people.

[550HPGTO]

@540merlin Hah yea i think that would do the trick. You should check out The vids of my car and tell me how you think it sounds for a Non-crate motor. ive got a few more things in there now i just havent got to upload any new vids yet.

[540merlin]

@550HPGTO Wicked sounding GTO. You need some more "action" videos.

[550HPGTO]

@540merlin Yea for sure. Ive got a forged bottom end and Patriot stage 3 2.05" heads on it now. Ran an N/A set up for a while with 12.1 Compression and made 636whp! Now ive decided to go boost so i dropped got some lower comp pistons and a procharger on 14psi for 836whp.

[540merlin]

@550HPGTO I have two comments for you: post some more video and you're going to have to change your YT name! 836WHP is impressive.

[550HPGTO]

@540merlin I might be able too. I actually plan on selling it and starting an 03 cobra project. Factory forged internals make it a lot cheaper too!

[540merlin]

@550HPGTO Ford or GM - I think you need to decide!

[550HPGTO]

@540merlin Oh come on. i LOVE GM. But theres one or two things ford does better. Well not "better" but a bit different, such as the 4v DOHC set-up on the cobra, and new GT 5.0. Honestly i think they both have their positives and negatives. It'd be my first ford too. Ive had camaros, trans ams, the GTO. I will have a corvette sooner or later. But i think the Cobra is a worthy investment. =]

[540merlin]

@550HPGTO I'm just giving you a hard time. I had a totally stock 99 Ford Mustang GT covertible for a few years. I bought it for my wife as a birthday present one year. I was actually surprised at how well it performed. You can see it in the background of some of my videos. Good luck with yours. I'll keep an eye out for new videos.

[chud327]

Oh no, 4:26 camera 3's battery died...

[540merlin]

@chud327 Close, the memory was full.

[multinjok]

Awesome video! Manual transmission in a muscle car is sick! Love it.

[540merlin]

@multinjok Manual is the only way to go, imo.

[60camarochick]

Dave, you did it again...the adrenaline is flowing.........thanks for the great work you do on your vids...you are very creative! If I had one chance to ride in the front seat of that machine, I would in a heartbeat. Notice I didn't ask to drive it..hehe

[540merlin]

@60camarochick I've seen some of the vehicles you driven - I'm pretty sure you could handle my Camaro.

[60camarochick]

@540merlin Wow, you are one cool dude Dave, and this is why you are my "fave." To leave your driveway in your Camaro with a wave, question is: would I be bad, or would I behave? lol

[540merlin]

@60camarochick Did you just write a poem? Out of about 4,000 comments on all my videos, I'm pretty sure that was the first poetry I have received. Thanks!

[60camarochick]

@540merlin yes, I made it up..I do that on occasion, for special people like you, who are amazin' (kinda rhymes, sorta!)

[viirus35]

badass car

[Ls3guy]

very nice the camaro still looks geart 

[540merlin]

@Ls3guy Thanks.

[sabrom]

At the 4:45 mark is that line-loc? nice 4 way set up on the cams.

[540merlin]

@sabrom Yup. Thanks.

[400chevlc]

Can i come and live with you?

[540merlin]

@400chevlc Probably not, but thanks for asking.
