i love the "factory +"(if that makes sense) way of building cars it doesn't feel like someone just shoved an LS7 in it instead its fully built all around almost like it came out of the factory today a proper remaster. i love it
Even being 26, with no car channel and moderate tech skills, 3:11 made me cringe. It takes 20 mins to figure out how a carb works. Depressing to see people my age purposely avoid them. I'm usually the one laughing when 1 of your 500 engine sensors fail. I've been on both ends and the lack of electronics on carbed machines is a god send. No spider web of wires that you have to chase all over. No potential random sensor faults. No low signals. No frayed looms. No ecu management or errors. Turn a screw while hooked up to a vacuum guage. Done.
im 21 and my car is carb'd i like its simplicity and i the find efi scary haha ,I plan on a 4.8 turbo anyways so im enjoying the BEAUTIFUL Sound of the Buick 350 until I do .Goodluck with ur projects everyone !
I'm 20, and I used to be the same. My grandfather got me started in cars, and he scared me shitless of EFI, computers, automatic transmissions. I ended up taking a leap by building a turbo miata with a full standalone ecu, and I dyno tuned it. Now I'm an electrical engineering student and old tech is more scary to me when it comes to tuning an engine. I love having sensors and data logs for everything, and I can safely tune for max performance in every cell and situation. I'd wire in a EGT and wideband sensor for every header runner if I could afford it. Anyway, I'm still glad to have experience with classic and modern technology, and I certainly appreciate all builds, but my 13 year old self would run from the tech I use now. It all starts with a leap and a desire to learn; the internet has all of the information you need.
My dads first car was a 1973 Split-Bumper Chevy Camaro. It was dark blue, with white stripes. I would love to find a rolling chassis so, that I don’t have to worry about p*****g off the purists out there. I would put an LS7 in it.
"these cars had carburetors, but when you get into LS engines with fuel injection you're more familiar with that" was the most millennial thing ive ever heard (not in a bad way). i have almost put a tunnel ram and dual quads on my coyote a dozen times trying to figure out this idiotic fuel injection crap and the awful computer garbage...UGH! times are changing and i feel like im being left behind LOL
900 hp on a 9psi break in tune on a stock truck 6.0... 500hp on a carbureted forged internals $10,000 383 stroker. Carbs just don’t make sense anymore. We’ve gotta learn to change and not be stubborn
@@riogrande163 still needs other changes not that that's my point. You can run boost on both applications and make power. You can use EFI or a carb on either set up too. What he said about a 383 is totally unrelated to what he said about a 6L and a turbo. It was inaccurite too.
@@lb9gta307 there’s literally no point to run a carb other than originality. If you stick to the past you get left behind. You lose 15 or so horsepower out the box no matter what you do. They are garbage in comparison for any high g Motorsport. Carbs are no comparison. There’s a reason we changed.
The kids are all right just give them an old muscle car for some experience of what my generation drove, this Camaro is like my '73 LT z28 with 350 L82 turbofire and it had a Rochester carb that served that motor well I swear it could rev to 8,000 the Muncie shifters weren't very reliable and missing 3rd gear was the result and the reason the handling was great for that era having bias belted wide ovals on steel rims I sold it for a 79 Vette which was a disappointment to me
I owned a 1979 camaro with a racing engine under the hood it had 750whp. I miss that car. It was a ticket car for sure. It was my 3rd car I owned as a young adult. 20 years later im hunting that car down to re-own it.
I know a guy at work who has a 71 camaro. Bondo’d gray with a 408 stroker with about 480hp. By far my favorite camaro. I dream in life is to buy that car and make it my own. I’d probably swap a 440 sb2 engine in it with a jerico but that’s just.
this is my favourite year of Camaro and I want one so bad. i love the full bumper too it just adds a nice look to it. the only thing I would also want one with t- top but that's because i had a 95 with them and i miss them.
My favorit is gen 2 camaros. We have in finland one Gen 2 that is dritf car which runs in the drift championship series. Lightened just little pit by fiberclass, power by ls7 whit centrifugal supercharger (845hp). He is one of the oldest dritf drivers in series +10years experience. He has been in the drifting since the beginning of the sport in finland
Not much of a muscle fn myself, but the stuff these guys come up with is so awesome. I'd love to own something as high quality as any of what these guys have built.
I was looking for a 70' to 73' Camaro for a few year's. Kept looking couldn't find one in my budget. I almost gave up suddenly a customer told me he was selling his 70' Firebird short story bought her several weeks later.
I wonder how much of those repro parts came from my workplace... they've been one of our vendors for a long time. DSE is a great company, the value is subjective because it ain't cheap, but they provide a high quality product you can rely on.
Lol, I think it’s not so much of being scared of something old, it’s more of an affordability thing and the lack of a desire to actually put in work to make something special. Now an days the easy way seems to be a preferred option and people are still chasing clout with their friends.
@@DavidSmith-se9of well you get better performance with fuel injection and if you want chunky intake noises then you've got ITBs, not to mention many converting back to carburators is dumb af
AceCustomz I understand that part, but I don’t think carbs are a reason the younger crowd don’t want classic muscle cars. Personally I would love to have a ‘72 Z/28 and really wanted one when I was younger, and I still do, but at the time when I was just getting into vehicles in general, my $6.15/hr at McDonalds wasn’t cutting it, lol.
@@DavidSmith-se9of I'd love an early 2nd gen too... but i also live in europe so there's even more expenses involved xD... i'd totally LS swap mine tho
This was my 2nd car, color and all! I loved my car. My brothers were not allowed to drive it😂. Unfortunately, my bank, step-dad, repoed it because I got behind a couple of payments. And, he wanted to turn it into a race car. 😢
Would you just....LOOK AT IT.
What's your favorite gen Camaro?
the gen before the current gen
Second gen 1978
I've had a 1977 a 1984 a 1988 and a 1995 that i currently drive , gen 2 is my favorite .
70 no doubt
3rd gen for sure.
use me as a “I think David should build a classic muscle car” button. After these series of Detroit Speed reviews i’m convinced.
A 69 grabber blue mustang named papa Smurf
He really should
@@jrcautomotive4319 nah 65-66
Just to do something different, he should do a AMX
@@Jasonsminiadventure those didn’t come in grabber blue
Damn this build is immaculate I honestly love this gen of camaro shit has a presence on the road
2nd gen Camaros are my favorite. Just because of Bumble Bee in Transformers
Tbh... same lol man when that movie came out I drooled over every New camaro on the road
Ew
Bro bumblebee is z28 from 77-78 is not this gen
@@apoloz1 it is that gen just slight body redesigns they’re both second gen camaros kiddo
@@theeoddments960 still different that’s my point. Thanks for the feed back 👍
Same power as a c7 zo6 corvette, that's awesome
Dude right? I couldn't believe how flawless this thing drove.
**C6 Z06**
@@superflo9768 C6 Z06 = LS7 505 hp. C7 Z06 = LT4 650 hp. This car = Modified LS7 650 hp. Same "POWER" as a C7 Z06 corvette.
@@Gilligansrevengeahh yes, I just read it wrong the first time
c6 zr1 had 638hp the c6 zo6 had alot less than 650
I love how Kyle is sitting there as his car is getting hammered at...probably 80-100MPH looking like he is thinking about what is for dinner.
My favorite gen camaro by far. I'm a ford guy but would get one of these in a heart beat.
Remember seeing this thing on SPEED back when pro touring was a new thing
never liked split bumper camaros, this one looks 1000% better
What a beast of a car.. next do a review on a gen 1 camaro!
My 81 will be like this one day
I just watched this Camaro last night on the track on AutotopiaLA's channel, this Camaro is sick! Beautiful build and sounds so good 😍
I absolutely love that 'stuffed wheel' nascar look. Road course material.
AHHHH I want it. I had a 77 a while back. I miss it.... I need another one someday.

My first car was a 1977 Camaro, always wanted a 72 built like the one featured here (I’m in my 50’s) as this is just a sweet build - very cool! 👍👍

What a beautiful vehicle. From the era of "theres no replacement for displacement." Astounding work.
I sold my 73 split bumper RS to build my 85 and wish I would have never made that move. That blue car is awesome

Thats my favorite bodystyle camaro ever made
The Beauty of owning an old car is that you can go any route you want !
My fav gen camaro and firebird
What a gorgeous car! 😍 how could someone dislike already? Lol wow
My favourite car of all time love the 2nd gen
Keep posting the collector type cars and such fr these are so nice and def a new upcoming series you can do
My fav put of all of them.

i met a dude named sick vic like a month ago and he had a 1976? Camaro and omg it was insanely loud and it has 465 hp
Great video and great Camaro!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!
Finally! Some good Ol' American muscle! Thank You! ❤💕
Amazing business turning out gems like these definitely a lot of passion behind it
Beautiful classic Camaro
Road America. Yeah buddy 👏🏼
Loving these muscle car reviews always been a muscle car lover
Been really cool seeing both you & Shawn from AutotopiaLA shooting the same Detroit Speed builds 🥰🥰👍💙💚 Rock on bud!
Much appreciated!
Car looks so clean
I did right all matching numbers 68 rs/ss camaro!
Breath taking
the intro song slaps I need it
also this car is sweet need one in black
Been wanting to do this forever!
Possibly the BEST example of that Camaro's generation? Chex MOST BOXES!!!
so pumped to see you do a restomod
It should have been a split bumper!
Yes “And four headlights” - Gen1 C8RS 🏁🇺🇸💰
I hope my 81 turns out this nice 👌
It's gorgeous, envious I dont have one.
God what a beautiful machine.

hi David. nice vid. liked b4 watching b/c I knew it was going to be good
dream car right there

You gotta drive a restored muscle car. Just once. Bias plys, drum brakes, bus size steering wheels. The works.
If you listen to him in other videos he'd be frightened going more than 25mph in something like that.
Sweet camaro! You should a review a done up 4th gen Lt1 or 383 camaro z28👍
3rd gen with out a doubt 88 thru 92 is the best looking.
Up next... The Roadster Shop...😎

Thath looks so muscle it flexes just by staying parked!
Impressive. Made a SLEEPER classic Camaro.
4:30 - 4:41 this dude takes 650+ horsepower like it's a casual Sunday cruise downtown
Very beautiful car
The best made Camaro. I love a second gen. The one Camaro that scares the shit out of Ferraris.
Beautiful! So tasteful and black wheels which I love! And it's fast as hell.
If I would see this parked somewhere I would stop and lose my mind!
The 1972 Camaro is the best looking car of all time.
Carburetors are so easy and they will be the ones running when shtf.
I like that guy.
I'll take third
Wish you could do more classics nice for a change
Badass rig 🤘
HEY! me and my top sportsman class buddies would love for you to drive some door shutters n promods get some real horsepower in those veins lol.
70-73 best body Camaro
