old vid, but some haven't seen it

here's a vid i posted a while back but i know that some of you guys didn't see it so i'm gonna put it back up...

this was the night i first got my car started, my dad's driving, you can see that he hits it at first, does nothing but spin, backs off and hits it again... watch as my headlights go up and down when he punches it

he backed off at 45, the top of first gear, still about 50 ft before the camera...

OMG!!! Dave, you guys did a really good job with the swap. Everything is so clean and neat. That shit sounds awesome. He peeled tire all the way to 50mph? Amazing! I can't until i drive my car again this summer. LT1's in 3rd gens are the bomb!!

Btw Dave, your pops is awesome. My pops is like that aswell. When we put the new rearend on, along with the catback, he did a nice burnout. He's heavy with the foot, just as i am.

lol he didn't burn till 50... he burned for a couple seconds, backed off the gas and punched it again... when he got off the gas just before the camera he was at 45... i'm not sure if it will burn till 50, the tires just sit there and spin you don't really accelerate much lol... granted if i punch it at 50 then i'll burn a lil :evillol:

and yes it is awesome to have dad's that "support the habit" lol

Awesome!! My moms can't stand it, but pops is always there to back me up. When i told my moms that i was going to get another engine, she was like "Thats a waste of money, your gonna get yourself killed". My father's response was "you gotta have more power sometimes". He has the biggest grin on his face everytime he catches me burning them up.

Damn dude your mom sucks, my mom is all cool about it, she asks me how much it will be. :lol:

Yeah, when it comes to cars, my mom could car less. She almost had an accident on a highway once, and that was a enough right there. She drives all the time, just perfers some slow and grandma like, but she takes my 84 Camaro, i don't get it.

my mom is the same way, she doesn't understand spending all the money i have just in the name of speed... plus she had a heart attack when she saw the car we got the engine out of... the engine in my car has already killed at least one person, there is no way the driver of the camaro survived the wreck i don't think, and who knows what kind of damage was done to whatever other cars that were in the wreck... so under my hood i have a monster that has already taken someone's life, kind of wierd thought huh?

If I had a job, my mom wouldnt care how much it costs as long as im happy, and like I already said before, she lets me do whatever I want to the Camaro, I just cant touch the Monte, so I want to go back to my Camaro DAMNIT!

put an lt1 in that bitch :icon16:

maybe if i say it enough every third gen in this forum will have one lol

I WOULD put an LT1 but no damn job or money on hand. :( And since hurricane Katrina decided to stop by we have all these people from Louisiana so its now EXTREMELY HARD to get a job :(

well i know kpot is interested in getting one... i think it would be sick to have a fleet of lt1 third gens out there to bring back the love of the third gens... its our job to represent :smokin:

Pretty cool vid.

WOW thats the most offtopic post ever. :lol:

Hey Dave im interested.. if its cheaper to get an LT1 in than an LS1 im all ears, which im sure it is because the Ls1 is newer.

Na man, just put a LS7 in a 3rd gen.

you can find an lt1/t56 combo on ebay for much cheaper than an ls1/t56 combo...

How much did your swap cost you completely?

Also I heard the video of your exhaust and all but man.. whats with your exhaust sounding ricy?

WOW thats the most offtopic post ever. :lol:

It wasn't completely off topic, I complimented his vid and added a side note of something I found on the same site. :shakehead

My second post (this post) was completely off topic. :grinyes:

....... ricey? ..... dude i have no idea what you're talking about.... my exhaust beats in your chest from almost 10ft away... RICEY!?

oh well, i don't really have a grand total, ballpark of 10 grand... but if you minus the cost of my car (1600), cost of the wrecked car (500) suspension (700) and paint (2500) so i guess about 4000-5000 dollar range... i suppose

But how many hours do you have in the project.....

Well I dont know how it sounds like me standing next to it/in it, but in the video it sounds ricey.

But how many hours do you have in the project.....

hours? who knows... only working on it on the weekends it took me almost an entire year for teardown, swap, paint, buildup

my mom is the same way, she doesn't understand spending all the money i have just in the name of speed... plus she had a heart attack when she saw the car we got the engine out of... the engine in my car has already killed at least one person, there is no way the driver of the camaro survived the wreck i don't think, and who knows what kind of damage was done to whatever other cars that were in the wreck... so under my hood i have a monster that has already taken someone's life, kind of wierd thought huh?

That is kinda wierd, i've seen cars at the junkyard that have hit people. The windshield was shatter in a way as if a body hit it. Kinda scary, but the monster is in good hands now.

lol these hands are probably just has stupid as the previous hands...

Lol!!!
