2000 HP Supercar Attacks Malibu! Nelson Racing Engines. NRE.

This car is a rocket ship! Tom Nelson pilots this rocket through Malibu and surrounding areas. Three action sequences. Tom tells us about this Nelson Super Car # 004. The engine is a work of art. We hope you enjoy this movie. Let us know if you do. We will do more.

[@SirSpinalColumn]

There's just no way I could drive that car for 8 hours and finish the day with my license and my life.

[@skinchen]

+David Ridout LOL

[@marktitus6598]

Best comment award!

[@gavinthebowler2967]

David Ridout lol

[@ROESPLETZ]

Spinal Column damn I agree with that statement man! It's something else.

[@sdry]

at least you would go out smiling. Could be worse.

[@abcdef-cf2uk]

'69 Camero, One of the most IF NOT THE MOST beautifully sculpted car of the 20th century to begin with.

[@hankgs]

"Camaro" , and you're right...

[@DesertStateNevada]

Are you kidding me? Muscle cars, Malibu, sunset? Ahh dreams, meanwhile Im stuck here in fuckin hungary..

[@solitarymessengeable]

Memories. Got pulled over on that 4 lane stretch of hwy 1. Wrote me up for "excess of 140mph while pacing 2 other vehicles." Pulled all 3 of us over. Big big fine, but the look on the #2 driver's face when he coasted up behind me with oil and smoke pouring out of his $100,000 911 from trying to catch my SS was absolutely priceless. So sweet!

[@firstbaldwin]

OK, if this thing has 2000 horsepower, and it develops that much horsepower at around 5252 RPM then its jacking out 2000 ft lbs of torque at that RPM too. From what I understand about turbos and boost it could be making that much torque at 3000 RPM too. That is pretty brutal. It would be nice to see this thing make some passes at the drag strip.

[@kurtrh63]

I'm a 100% Ford guy but appreciate anything done well..awesome build!

[@Ryandunne12345]

There is no way anybody would think that's 2000 hp by looking at it from the outside

[@Mr2013GT]

Nelson Racing Engines: Your #1 source for the ultimate getaway vehicles

[@karynfelix-the-Cat]

Beautiful car..insiide and out! Amazing! Great handling on the PCH!

[@neontube10]

What I like is Toms enthusiasm, he is not up his own arse like I lot of top engine builders and even though he is surrounded by these brilliant engines every day he still loves the thrill of them, top bloke :)

[@rocksouthtown2403]

Can't believe it's taken me this many yrs to see that car. Kinda amazing of the time you have after bursting L1, resulting in spinal fusion from T11- L3. Simply amazing!

[@IGOTTASRT8]

I'd love to see numbers from this car at a dragstrip.

[@donellmuniz590]

Without a drag-specific suspension and tires, I would guess high 8s, low 9s. Traction limited. But the mph should be insane, 150+.

[@flyinsossers]

Beautiful. attention to detail , without making it look like a Foose toy car.

[@Phatpug99]

If I was gonna have a car like this built, I would ask somebody with a lot of trans and axle experience to rig an AWD system. There is just no way I would trust two DOT legal tires with 2000 HP (race gas, mind you, but still). There is a guy in France who has an AWD Chevelle. Apparently it can pull 0-60 MPH runs in 2.2 seconds. He used running gear from a GMC Syclone. Failing that I'm sure someone will fabricate something for you.

[@Zionsol777]

Sounds like a fukin Tyrannosaurus Rex goin through that tunnel. Best car sound i've heard...ever. love your work Tom. Maybe someday I'll be able to afford one for myself ......someday

[@DBVintage]

Nice! I'd love to see more cars like this in Malibu - too many Mercedes, Audis and Priuses. I've just got a mild stroker small block in my van - but at 475 horses it gives the "hug the earth" crowd fits. Nice work on it!

[@08yannch]

this car running full motec and some hard core suspension work... spastic on the road, destroyer on the track, and maaaad respect at the drags dream car

[@1smiter]

Nelson needs to hire a driver and get some track time for these videos. Its like watching high school kid doing a burnout contest, over and over again.

[@TheBlueCollarBaller]

!!!!!!!!!^^^^^^!!!!!!!!

[@kingcrimson234]

Rick Smit yeah it pisses me off every time i see an NRE video. they can't drive these cars, lol.

[@Icutmetal]

And?

[@lost94133]

Rick Smit that's the only issue with his cars they all melt the tires 2000 hp doesn't mean shit if you can't get it to the ground

[@andycrawl2128]

It's also a customers car.....

[@commedesjojo]

The sound alone is amazing, and the looks forget about it!!!

[@travisdorris3094]

and he has now built a 2000hp, awd gto! I've got to hit the lotto....

[@saw2much68]

Your team is amazing! This is the sweetest set up in a older muscle car that I've seen in a long time.I could almost feel myself inside this ride on my 70" Sharp Aquos !!!

[@travisdorris3094]

to the no speedo comments, either one of 2 things or a combination of both, maybe didn't want the 300 miles he put on a customers 300k build showing on the odometer when he takes delivery, or no video proof of excessive speed on public roads.

[@TVmadethemdoit]

I'm sure the owner was more than happy to know how many test miles were put on the car by its builder.....

[@sereneturmoil]

That is the sexiest engine compartment I have ever seen. Period.

[@j.cannon2021]

there's no replacement for displacement

[@cognition26]

cannon m it's got 2 massive turbos on it. It's not NA.

[@Zionsol777]

Spencer 7445 exactly....forced displacement is always a mother fuker....lol

[@chrispy104k]

As Henry Ford said, "You can have any colour as long as it's black." That thing is mental. Nice work guys.

[@Tony67formula1]

the car is awesome great job on the engine looks amazing beautiful engine and really nicely put all together great job ,i want one someday!!!! congratulations

[@dimitrismpower]

2000hp - RWD - MANUAL TRANS ..... That is fucking INSANE !!!!!

[@simeonpetkov768]

I think i shat mah pants :) Damn, this is a dream car ! Dear santa...

[@BDean666]

the video will never do the sound that's made inside those tunnels justice....i bet it's incredible.

[@timthemagicbus666]

Ever thought of putting the 572 twin turbo into a 1956 Chevy bel-air? That would be nuts!

[@hankgs]

There is a guy in Santa Barbara, CA who has a V-12 in a '56 Bel-aire

[@TheSerpentEagle]

This car is absolutely thee baddest car on the road. She's so beautiful, black, and sleek,and mean. And fast is an understatement. What a perfect car. 1969 one if not the best year for American hot rods. This car has sooooo much love to give. I want one. Hats off with a hip hip hooray! to Mr Nelson.

[@Chief6067]

Speedo isn't working, sup with that?

[@lupo0144]

Not an American car lover since I come out of the UK... But your hard pressed to beat a 60/70 Muscle car brought up to today's spec! If I had money and lived in the US... This is what I would like... It's stunning! I would prefer it without the turbos to be truthful... Bet without them it's a 700hp car.... Well done for such a spectacular car!!!!!

[@dalejrfan88intexas]

What kind of fuel mileage does this camaro get?

[@frubbers02]

3 gallons to the mile

[@dalejrfan88intexas]

Lol

[@JethroRose]

if you have to ask...

[@dalejrfan88intexas]

Yeah. I had to ask

[@flyinsossers]

Cory Vines I don't know if this helps, but , Tom Baileys 3300 hp Sick Second Camaro was getting about 11 mpg on the highway(pump gas) when they were driving between tracks during drag week. All the cars competing had to drive a total of 1000 miles to get to every track. They actually pulled their tool trailers behind their cars. Check it out. It's here on YT.

[@thetajeff]

That is the cleanest 2000hp I've ever seen. What a sleeper!!!

[@AmirAbdullah]

Telephone Rings wife answers : Hello Me: hey babe, I'm never coming home. Me:Click.

[@NarcisMateescu]

Rick Lojko, one of NRE's customers, built a '69 Camaro with a 632 CID twin-turbo Big block. That thing makes 1600 HP on pump gas, and 2200HP on race gas. It would be awesome if Tom could get his hands on that car and make a street test video with it.

[@andyalmeida8356]

Now make an AWD version and call me.

[@Nazgul001]

Take the training wheels off Andy.

[@andyalmeida8356]

I bet a GTR with 1/2 the hp would eat that thing alive on a track; sure 2k hp sounds fantastic, but you'll never put it to the ground without awd

[@Nazgul001]

Andy Almeida True, but your comparing a new chassis vs.this 60's era chassis. Sure it's been modernized, etc. but it's an apples and oranges comparison. Now if you wanted to compare this car to any 1969 GT-R Nissan ever made....that would be worth discussing.

[@andyalmeida8356]

Still eat that black thing for lunch. That all you got? always some mindless insults... lol

[@jamesdean7054]

eww why would you make a camaro AWD? idiot

[@xilix]

Different strokes for different folks. NRE makes some of, if not 'THE' best gasoline powered engines on the planet. They also get incredible gas mileage as well. 1800hp at 20+mpg is pretty damn awesome.

[@MLKM4N]

8 hours of driving? I would say 8 trips to the gas station

[@masskhamisi4]

Nice these guys have done awsome technical work to achieve 2000hp and still have a daily driver ...its great minds like this that keep the automotive industry on its feet with technology

[@shagletshoop]

Your over a thousand rpm and no speedometer

[@lost94133]

shagletshoop probably to keep the haters from crying how fast he's going on public streets if i had too guess

[@highvelocity123]

I love it, it's what I always dreamed about doing to an old muscle car. 6 speed, huge power, drivable, awesome suspension. It's got it all...and no one on the road can touch it

[@justrollin1210]

Speedo at 0 mph while driving!! lol

[@bennyboom63]

572 BBC twin turbo twin intercooled 2000 hp all day long no problem. Incredible piece nice job again

[@tujiongyhrd]

I could totally smoke this in my riced out honda

[@57HarleyDavidson]

+The Channel of Stuff Keep Dreaming

[@bobakoskolaee6990]

The Channel of Stuff sure you could

[@nandadwirendragraha1210]

bobak oskolaee honda has great range, you can outrange it!! lmao

[@gypana]

You definitely smoked something.

[@abcdef-cf2uk]

The Channel of Stuff Uh huh

[@greer776611]

the screams were heard everywhere and the smell was something that made the children cry!

[@SuperRuss52]

there is no way that's 2000 or even 1000 hp. joke exspecially pump fuel

[@taomicioli]

go look at hot rods f-bomb, he did that engine too sbc 1500hp. actually drive that much hp. then talk

[@springwoodslasher79]

russ carney you dont know shit about cars for one turbo cars are lower compression so they run on pump gas 2 you put a single turbo on a built big block 1000hp is easy so 2000 isnt a stretch.

[@tailboard]

I guess you have built your fair share of cars carney?

[@kevin121649]

I like that you went with a manual instead of a damn powerglide.

[@altonlong386]

This car is mean and clean but your mouth needs a little soap to clean it up. Your car will get you all the attention and recognition that you deserve, but your 4 letter words will erode that.

[@Icutmetal]

No they won't; I doubt anybody gives a shit. Oops...

[@guido0582]

Love the cleanliness of the hard lines/pipes...

[@bob8323]

man oh man you guys build some amazing car engines if i ever win the lottery i know where im coming.

[@DylanK811]

I love that the motor is all black and ordinary in appearance to someone who doesn't realize what they're looking at.

[@NorbertoPedrosoNorb]

These Camaro it's One of my favorite cars! And you now i? Because i'm born in 1969!!! Thanks again Mister Nelson pelas suas Obras de Arte!

[@speedsalot]

Gas milage comments? REALLY?! Nobody buys or builds a car like this with gas milage as a primary consideration. If you can afford to buy/own it, kinda goes without saying that you can afford to fill the tank. Beautiful car. A real work of art.

[@Zachaccount93]

love the headlights/taillights might be the best camaro ive seen :)

[@domenicomonteleone3055]

Tom Nelsonracingengines you are one Intelligent Engineer who know what he is looking for when making Loads of Power in your Engines Pure Craziness i love it Hi 👋 from 🇨🇦 #YSW

[@rGDeceased]

There's a bunch of videos on this channel of NRE making over 2,000 hp with engines like these (street builds, mostly - some are for race cars though) what I find odd is that we don't really see any NRE engines featured in "fastest street car" competitions and such, because these are 100% for sure the best streetable custom "big power" engines that money can buy.

[@suzukiltr45024]

holy god that car could pass as a factory installed engine amazing work bravoo

[@Lear35pilot]

Great job Tom! Nice to have a cool customer like Ben who appreciates your fine art! I am coming to see you when there next!!

[@81broncoman]

It's actually quite good, the cam is small and there are no emissions restrictions on its tune, so it can run efficiently.

[@MagnusDominus1]

Sweet engineering. We were building big blocks and small blocks back in the 80's, that would perform on the street like this. Testing at the Gainesville Raceway, driving out to the track from town. He could put 10,000 HP in that car, but if he is not getting it to the pavement he may as well only have 1000. The most we could get to the pavement with any success was about 1200 HP in a daily driver. Impress me with your traction.

[@fingp1]

Each time they are in the tunnel, I kept wondering if the sound of the car would bring the mountain down. Amazing...

[@MrWalkerds]

Hey I saw this camaro on a mothers polish ad. Thats why it looks so good!

[@TheOfficialKC]

The difference is reliability and drivability. A 1500hp 4-liter is a time bomb waiting to explode after a few uses. This engine makes 1400hp on 91 octane, runs as smooth as a stock V8, and will last years of hard pulls at 1-2000hp.

[@DD5V1]

In the world of high tech power vs old school engineering, I'd rather have old school. Old school is proven performance, less room for error, and it's just cooler in general. I'm a Mopar guy but this is one nasty bow tie!

[@ROESPLETZ]

I'm not even a chevy guy though I am a Denali snob but that is one beautiful piece of work. Well done. Next $150k I have I'll have you build me one if that's enough.

[@frankdiesel1288]

I'm sure there ISN'T ANY ONE who can build a car,,an engine,,a trans,,a frame,,,HELL,,,,or even an airplane like the BEST MAN in the business.......and THAT man is TOM NELSON!!!!!!!! Tom,,,,,you're my idle,,,,I mean IDOL. LOVE all your work. EVERYTHING is a MASTERPIECE!!!!!! Keep on building them,,,,brother. If I ever win the lottery,,,,the 1st thing I would do is to commission you to build me a car. Until that happens,,I guess I'll just watch the videos with a bottle of hand lotion close by....HAHA LOL

[@murfguitar2000]

This dude's tire budget is higher than all of our paychecks.

[@billytaylor2734]

Out of Sight! Wow. I had .66 Camaro 327 3speed. Loved it

[@The05ZX10R]

Sir you have the best job ever I totally envy you. If you are looking for a capable hand to do shake down runs with those beauty cars that you guys build then look no further I'm ready willing and able. LOL! Keep posting these awesome vids.I myself don't own a hot rod so I always come on here watch you guys to get my fix. CHEERS

[@CHUUMPASS]

i'm sure that this is one of the most radical and most badass road cars on the planet (a common theme at NRE products), and probably the single most powerful (and most badass again too) 1st gen street Camaro of them all !

[@slabiciune]

I agree.That sound drive me nuts.

[@JackAr1a]

Yes you can it is called "compound charging" or "twincharged" it was originally used by Lancia in their Group B rally car the Delta S4. In the 1980's that 1.8l engine produced up to 1000bhp.

[@henrymontes4316]

Mr Nelson i'm a big fan of your work. What an amazing piece John Hennessy doesn't have anything on you keep up the good work

[@MacGyversWorkshop]

That car is a beautiful piece of work no doubt! I can only remember what a southern old timer once told me though.... "That's real nice son.... but too many hosses, not enough shoes!" That car is a perfect work of insanity!

[@Briggsian]

NRE makes the best engines, in both sheer performance and style. Keep up the great work!

[@stubenshoof4785]

I love watching this car drive! If I had the means I would have you guys build one for me. But I don't so im stuck drooling at the video

[@pepebenaventeleyenda8855]

fucking legendary Nelson and his team, deserves a slot in history.

[@Chief6067]

Do you service the engine after its run for awhile and say you need a spark plug change.......do you provide that service? I mean, there's allot of stuff to take off just to get to the plugs.........

[@JordieMotive97]

The Veyron's W16 is 8L in displacement, this Camaro is a 9.4L ;)

[@wckedss]

Would love to drop one of NRE twin turbo daily driver series engines into my 87 Monte Carlo SS!!!! Once I found their videos on KZbin I fell in love with their powerplants and drivability. Its crazy the HP and Torque they can produce even on pump gas and still be a daily driver. Would love to blow the doors off of anyone on the streets where I live and not know what just hit them!!! Keep churnin' out the Horses and maybe one day I'll have one in my 87SS!!!

[@bronco63]

A BOV or diverter valve, vents charge air pressure during shifts. That sound is not the wastegate. Wastegates regulate maximum boost by diverting exhaust gases away from the turbine wheel. The turbo thus spins slower. They can be fixed, manual, or automatic. For instance, as you drive up Pike's peak, the wastegate would gradually close (if automatic). During shifts, the BOV vents excess charge air pressure when the throttle plate is closed. 2 entirely separate (yet necessary) components.

[@crimescene25]

Rudolph Diesel definitely invented in germany, some of the newer fords are using german, and italian engineering (ford raptor being one of them), it's spot on engineering too, actually makes a great matchup.

[@cruyeda]

Hey, that's Kanan Rd. Back in the '80's, Malibu Sheriff's caught a Rolls Royce speeding. It was caught with the helicopter. The helo called in a ground unit to stop the Rolls. The Deputy looks inside the Rolls and tells the pilot, "It's Eddie Van Halen and Valerie Bertanelli. The pilot says, "Get me an autograph,,,,,,,,,on a greenie!"

[@cooster16]

your engines and cars are works of art

[@NorbertoPedrosoNorb]

Nelson... gostava imenso de ter o PRAZER de conduzir uma dessas Obras de Arte que você Cria com tanto Love. 1 grande Abração deste seu FÃ.

[@jeff9508]

These guys are Gods to me.. Wish I could afford to have them do a build on my "67 Camaro...

[@MINNEAPOLZ]

Can't believe you fit 2000hp under that tiny cowl!

[@Aelleor]

Good video. If I ever leave SoCal, it might be the roads that I'll miss the most.

[@DoGGRoBBer2000]

Beautiful car but Power without control ain't.... loss of of traction is the sister of tragedy......Sounds awesome and looks even better.....keep up the good work.

[@AB-80X]

Yup. They also seem to think it was the rocord. When in was set on September 14, 2011, it was the 4th fastest time of a street leagal production cars. It was never a record. The ACR that did it, was, albeit a street leagal "production" car, set up in a way, so it bore very little resemblence with the consumer ACR. Just to get an idea about the 7:12 ACR and a normal stripped out ACR we could buy and the SRT10. They did a 7.22.1 and 7.59 Funny that the SRT in stock form is slower than a 996 S.

[@93grech]

GasMotor Sport has had their car for a few years now, running over 2000hp and now its around 2200-2400hp and I have never seen or herd of it blowing up or needing a engine rebuild after every race.

[@SamnissArandeen]

That's what I was wondering. He mentioned taking it for canyon runs, but I didn't see any footage of those.

[@chrisneal3909]

Nice to see someone build a bad ass stick shift.

[@FCT8306onTwoWheels]

My 97 Suburban used to cruise at 65 mph at like 1500 RPM, I miss that car:(.

[@nillchen]

yes, you can judge it by listening how fast the engine revs up while accelerating. If it revs up slowly, it's either a weak engine or a heavy car or both. Also, I only play tetris.

[@Octane68]

This is a monster, love it...wow

[@R1ckJamezBitch]

There is so much technology in this car, This would have never happened 40 years ago. Keep your little $100,000 Supra, I'll take the #4 car from Nelson any day.

[@tracyamcneal9597]

It's no doubt a bad ass car if Tom Nelson is involved with it. If you look up the word horsepower in the dictionary you'll see Tom Nelson's picture "that's it"

[@The89stang1]

sick! and gorgeous looking too! with unbelievable drivability!!!!
