I LOVE that it is driven like that! Cars are made to be driven.

Just when you start to get tired of Camaro’s you drop that bad boy. That thing is amazing

[YukonDemon]

Wow! Just..Wow!! Cool using a boat engine. One thing people don't really think about with boat engines, yeah they make a ton of power, but they're durable as hell. A boat's engine is ALWAYS under load. Right from idle to cruise. There's no coasting in a boat. They're designed to be worked 100% of the time, and Mercury is at the top of the boat engine game. Such an awesome car. Thanks Shawn. 👍👍

750 NA HP fast revving and high revving? Man that's a dream. Reminds me of those high compression LS7 builds. The dream!

[scarbourgeoisie]

Never heard of this builder before, but this car shows he's as good as anyone out there building high end SEMA type show cars. This Camaro is top notch. Car is perfect, from stem-to-stern.

“Loves being at that high RPM” - then short shifts it a 5k rpm repeatedly… right as it’s about to hit its powerband. Let it sing. That engine is happy at 7800-8000 rpm all day long. That last 3000 rpm is where it comes alive.

One of the nicest pro touring 69 Camaros period. Top 5 for sure. So tastefully done. Colors go so good together. Thanks for sharing. You guys rock!!!

That DOHC ls7 is SICK!! Makes u wonder what a 750hp n/a C8 would be like

[bzmaro]

This has to be my favorite build on this channel yet. It sounds so savage!!! Never heard anything like it, so unique and great. What a gorgeous build. Thanks for sharing this one Shawn!

[Bernosgarage]

I'm a mopar guy but i've probably seen this clip at least 40 times now and can not stop watching it over and over again. It sounds amazing!!!

[rclife]

How the hell could people dislike this vid..I love it thats one of nicest rides thats been on here in awhile and to go ripping on a sema car come on really. Not many people are going to spend that kinda cash on a car then let someone go rip on it..gotta give props to the owner and all the guys that worked on it, and one big shout out to Shawn for another great video and one nice burnout for us..keep up the great work!!!

[paultucker]

What a work of art! You can keep your Ferraris and Lamborghinis, this is a super car. And that like a 1970 Trans Am racer! Sean Smith is a very underrated designer. Need to see more of his work!

[alejandroledesma]

FINALLY.. seen videos of this car and the engine itself but FINALLY a video where it’s being driven !!! It’s been like 2 years I’ve been keeping up with this car. I’m a sucka for Modular engines, this 427 DOHC is a treat to watch

[justpassingthrough]

This engines sound should be a ringtone. If we all had a car like this, this world would be a happier place.

[nonombre]

What a paint job. I don’t have the words to do it justice.

[craighighmore]

That car sounds amazingly loud & aggressive, like a cool Camaro.

[noxqses]

Maybe I'm wrong but the 69 Camaro is one of the prettiest cars ever.

And this one is awesome

[tjsadler]

69 Camaro is easily one of the best looking cars ever made. The hideaway headlights is a must have option as is either the SS or Cowl induction hood. This particular car is a beast.

[chazceena]

Usually not a fan of custom built cars but this one is an exception. Bravo!!

[TheoneDragon]

I just got mad respect for the owner. Tearing it up in the desert windows down even.😁

Get that trailer queen stench out of here.
