How an AMATEUR built this 1000HP custom Trans Am

This is one of the wildest Trans Am builds ever. It has a full tube chassis, a Chevy LSX that revs up to 10,000 RPM, and makes over 1,000 horsepower. You may have seen this Pontiac a few years ago when it debuted at SEMA, but Riley, the mastermind behind this car, is still tinkering with it to this day. From The crazy engine to the THICC wheels, we’ll show you why this Trans Am one of the most cohesive and well-put-together builds we’ve seen!

Damn, I came to the comments expecting people to say what a good job Jeremiah did (and he did!)
Boy was I wrong... chill out and enjoy the show, they write it how they want to write it.

[charlieee]

Damn James really set the bar high for these dudes

[Injamben]

This video: everyone hating on host. 5 months later, one of the best hosts donut has. Funny how things change. Funny how people try to reject that change.

[MyBallsUrJaws]

Me-"did you say 7 miles per gallon?" Builder-"I said 7 gallons per minute..."

[TheHatman]

Me: Can we have James Pumphrey?

Mom: No, we have James at home

James at home:

[mrdewb]

people are on this guy’s ass for acting like James. THE SCRIPT WAS WRITTEN FOR JAMES AND THIS GUY TRIED HIS BEST TO GIVE A GOOD PRESENTATION

[codyroden]

I wish the rest of the donut guys would just be themselves

Next up: bumper to bumper on Cleetus McFarland’s 1500hrspr exoskeleton 7 second drag car. Leroy

[kennedypuckettmusic]

One dude made a car that was so powerful that just starting it up made a grown ass man almost cry. That’s some inspiring shit right there!

[probablynotleo]

This guy seems nice, but dude needs his own style, he is trying too hard to be James.

[gustavoarguedasgarcia]

Everyone: We'd like James on this series
Donut: how about another dude that tries too hard to be James
Seriously I don't want to hate this guy but he tries too hard to be James. Still kudos for a great episode.

[sneakyboi]

"Do a burn out!!!"

"Sure thing :D"

*wheels rotate once"

I'm out of fuel D:"

[turbo]

The new guy seems a good dude, but he needs to tone it down as he doesn’t suit the style he’s forcing...

[WheelLoveTV]

I dnt care what they say, Daniel Tosh did a great job in this vid! 🤘🏽⚡️

[Iannuendo]

“If you owned a classic trans am then you’d be the smartest idiot alive”

[rafaelrosales]

I don’t like that fact the fact that he try’s so hard to be like James he need his own style.

[henrybehm]

I don’t think people realize that these people’s on-screen personality comes down to the writers. Jeremiah is a good dude and I can’t wait to see him do more stuff like this.

[snoopo]

99% of the comments: *holds up gun* Give us back james

[baaaaanbaaaaan]

Imma be rela Jeremiah seem's like a pretty decent dude, let's just give the man more time

[joejoseph]

Im an former ICU nurse and the fact that James was on ECMO and survived as an adult impresses the shit out of me. ECMO is used in pediatrics and NNICU (Neo-natal) not that unregularly. Using it in adults is not as common, and is not survived well. To see him having not only survived but back behind the wheel (as it were), is impressive and inspiring. Well met my friend and I hope you have many more years to share your love of cars with us.
