This guy is really proud of his son and is one of my favorite parts of this video
-
Once they get the suspension dialed and all the shakedown bugs ironed out.... Beast mode engaged!
-
As a 50+ year car enthusiast (professional and hobbyist) I think this amazing build has completely reset the bar. Should have known Autotopia would feature it. Thanks Shawn and crew.
-
1300whp at 14psi is insane. What a great tuner you have!
-
Dude imagine getting to build this kind of car with your dad. That would be something you’d remember forever and would shape who you are forever. A truly special experience. This car is a masterpiece. This is level I wish more “YouTube Builders” would strive to create. Real motorsports inspired car.

As a car nut who's very engineering minded, that used to sketch/design cars for fun, & 'invent' car technology... this absolutely speaks to me. I eat, sleep & dream about suspension, chassis, engine & aero tuning/engineering. And an aluminum de-stroked, high revving LS has always been my favorite setup ever. Love that & the aero focus, the blown diffuser, the advanced pushrod suspension. Not to mention that they're living my dream with the private, Top Gear style test track🤤😁👏🇺🇸

I was trying to imagine what exactly an Indy Car Firebird was going to look like ahead of time. I was not prepared. These cars (this generation anyway) never appealed to me all that much back when they were cheap and plentiful, but after seeing them show up as AWD track monsters every few years, stuffed to the gills with power and weapons-grade suspension systems, I must admit a fair amount of regret bypassing them so many times.
-
seriously.... these homies know their shit !!!! And them being quiet-spoken is major plus.
-
Son better buy a 45 day aged steak for his dad and 6 pack of beer for fathers day lol,great project and this is what bonding is and teaching your son how to be a mechanic etc.great job dad.
-
This car is RIDICULOUS IN AN AWESOME WAY!!! INSANE
-
Huge respect. Amazing build. Not only brutal, but incredibly technical, and also old school analog/manual. Everything blends together so well and it straight up looks badass.
-
If this isn't the sickest car to ever be on the channel then I don't know what is. I'd love to see this thing run at Indy, Daytona or even Laguna Seca
-
Russell and Cameron are two of the nicest guys you will ever meet.
-
❤❤❤ I'm in a complete mess after watching this.... Thank you thank you thank you all of you. Thank you for not just posting minimal footage... The extra runs were jaw dropping. Thank you for carrying out a full interview on a car that has had me intrigued since Sema footage last year. Thank you for inspiring the kids that will be well & truly blown away seeing this & will go on to inspire others with their work when older. I'm so happy... Thanks for making my day.
-
This car screams Mercedes CLKGTR. Love it!
-
Dude thank you so much for showcasing this masterpiece for all of us and a HUGE thanks to Russell and Cavan for building the beast. I love everything about it.
-
OMG! I JUST read an article about this very car in "Hot Rod" a couple of days ago! Mahalo for driving it around and letting me get a good look at it!
-
All I can say is that Ken Block would be proud. This reminds me of the hoonicorn so much, and I'm sure Ken would love to race you. Great job on the build. #KB43VER

My dad got me into cars when I was 5 years old . Now I am 43 years old and still messing with cars . Once a car guy always a car guy .

the potential of a parent who wants their child taught right and can afford the best education...we should all aspire to be parents like this
