2500HP Worlds Fastest Camaro - 263.2 mph Twin Turbo - Texas Mile (Gearhead Flicks)

[@91battlered]

whenever u talk supercars or the fastest car in the world u have to say the Camaro is on that list especially the 3rd and forth gen Camaros fact!!!!

[@DimitriosChannel]

I see you guys recorded me leaving work lol.

[@JavierPadron]

Dang guys nicely filmed and edited. I'm a huge fan of yall guys work.

[@gearheadflicks]

We have so much footage of the car and of it's last seconds.

[@dieseldong4781]

Congratulations on building a bad ass ride and fuck all the jealous haters below

[@thomas52950]

Matthew Hodges

[@Mekhi311]

what happened to it?

[@FranzXavier]

Dude u need to beat the ford gt hit 300

[@chandleryoung7289]

263 mph proven t tops by gm😂😂😂

[@johnniezuniga6841]

Thanks thanks for the ride and thank you for sharing it with us take care

[@jjs4you21]

Haha, spinning the tires at over 170mph in 3rd gear!

[@Haley72692]

a veyron also takes a few miles to reach 268, this does it in 1 mile

[@Nicky43352]

Mad respect..damn I miss mine..you can't ever change the sound of them..thanks for this video it made my night..😍

[@gearheadflicks]

Kelly is, without a doubt, one of the most amazing people on this planet. We are lucky to know him and consider him family - your admiration is well placed.

[@SFBay69]

KP racing is in charge of Bise's camaro now. They are a badass shop.

[@TheBrownbear68]

Another great edit. Awesome job

[@Curveball]

Oh, well great job LMR, and KP Racing !

[@ShonarXR331]

You know your car is fast when you have to have parachutes to slow it down.

[@liveandletlive2894]

Oh man have times changedb

[@OnyxStudios720p]

That was a badass video.

[@Birdofprey90]

Corvette, camaro, trans am pure dominance !!

[@joekool81]

That's so sick! Bad ass parachute deploy!

[@rogergreene2272]

RIP! Rest In Peace extremely fast Camaro

[@CamaroRick]

Thats my all time favorite mile car

[@kevins5911]

I wonder why?

[@RobertSmith-le8wp]

I love 1 mile racing. Much better than 1/8 or 1/4. It's amazing how cheap 2000+ horsepower engines have got with the new turbo technologies. It would be unfathomable 15 years ago. Heck you can get a junkyard 4.8 or 5.3 and get 1200+ horsepower with a cheap turbo and a stock bottom end. Heck, the old Ford 5.0's would split in half at anything over 400-450 horsepower. Compared to the new Coyote 5.0's it's night and day

[@xx_ironman77_xx1]

Cool but nothing beats an na motor that can spin an top fuel roots blower your 400 hp na turbo 4.8 ,5.3 can’t do that na 😆 1 mile racing is cool but prefer 1/2 mile roll racing that’s where it’s at rn 1/8 and 1/4 mile drag racing is the gold standard for drag racing that and street racing

[@shaneOD1971]

Wow. I once owened a black 99 Z28 6sp with intake and full exhaust mods and thought it was crazy fast. Little did I know.

[@SFBay69]

Kelly is truly a special person in this day in age.

[@LSXAllMotor444]

Yes it is a T56 face-plated. Rear gear is a 2.56 and the tires were 26.2" tall.

[@robvlob]

8 pistons 32 valves 2 turbos & 2500 hp makes for one hell of an awesome symphony. (I speculated on the # of valves couldn't find any specs about the engine)

[@xxRamD3yruxx]

16 valves

[@Curveball]

USA ! USA ! USA ! lol....don't get many chances to chant. :)~ Awesome car ! Great job LMR !

[@aza993a]

Crazy he’s running ttops on that thing.

[@victarnewmon]

They will be back better n faster. Glad Joe is ok.

[@06C6Z06]

With T-tops to boot ! Nice Job !!

[@gearheadflicks]

We have had an incredible number of requests for the footage of the accident. So that everyone knows, we DO have very detailed footage and the folks at TX Mile have graciously given us permission to post it. After receiving permission from Joe Honeycutt and Kelly Bise, we have decided to include it as part of the official documentary detailing the complete history of the car, from start to finish. Stay tuned by friending us on Facebook and subscribing to our KZbin channel to see it

[@ASouthern419]

Can’t wait till my f body is done. GOALS!!!

[@jonathandougherty3677]

It's crazy how he's steering the car with the gear shifter!

[@l337pwnage]

Considering the aero problems those cars have at those speeds, that is pretty impressive. Driving a 4th gen at 250 mph is like flying the space shuttle, you're not really flying, just trying to crash really softly.

[@TheAngryFapper]

Imagine how fast this would have gone if the driver didnt weigh as much as the car.

[@egecamlikaya]

+The Angry Fapper its for grip on the beginning dude :D:D

[@droceretik]

Weight has little effect on top speed given a long enough straight but top speed is a function of power and aero drag. This car with a 300 lb driver will reach the same top speed as this car with a 150 lb driver although it may require 20 or so yards more to achieve that speed. Image how much better you could think if you didn't have such a fat filled head with a peanut in the center.

[@kevins5911]

imagine how fast he would have gone if he wasn't taking a nap during the whole run? At least he woke up at the end to deploy the chutes. But the overweight driver is probably necessary to keep the nose down at high speed I hope, otherwise that car has another 10mph in it with a simple driver swap.

[@jjs4you21]

Kevin S Well he would have went a lot slower if they didn't tell him they had 3 Big Mac's, 2 Large Fry, 2 Apple Pies and a Large diet Coke Oh wait, he's watching his weight, make it a small diet Coke, all waiting for him at the finish line!

[@kevins5911]

+jjs4you21 Also I heard one of the greatest challenges for the team was getting the driver in and out of the vehicle so after carful consideration and computer modeling they realized That the F-body Camaro would be necessary for this project to be successful as using a crane and a small crew the driver could be easily hoisted straight up thru the removable t-top.without having to remove then re-welding the side paneling and doors of the vehicle. I also heard that a major hurdle was Keeping the car going straight on not veering dangerously to the left which would be catastrophic at high speed, so after many design tweaks and trial and error they realized the only way was to run smaller diameter wheels on the right side of the vehicle than on the left which caused the vehicle to naturally veer to the right countering the tendency to go left essentially allowing the car to keep in a straight line. They also had issues corner balancing the vehicle due to the car dropping all the way down to the bump stops when the driver was in the vehicle which caused the car to have 0 suspension travel but thankfully a quick thinking engineer came up with a quick and easy fix by welding in both the frame rails and suspension from a tri-axel dump truck which thankfully cheaply fixed the problem. Unfortunately after realizing the weight penalty of the driver they elected to use and already placing him in the vehicle they quickly realized the cost of the heavy machinery and 6 man crew needed to safely remove the driver was not financially viable and instead hoping that more boost and HP would give them the best odds at making a decent run, but realistically they knew based on the power to weight ratio numbers that being the fastest standing mile car was essentially impossible. Another hurdle that plagued this project was stopping the vehicle after the finish line was crossed, as engineers calculated the inertia of this amount of rolling mass to be equivalent to the space shuttle landing and quickly realized a normal chute would not be up to the task of stopping this vehicle but thanks to the end of the space shuttle program they were able to purchase the exact same chute that was used on the space shuttle endeavour which was more that up to the task to safely bring the Camaro to a stop. The entire project was way over budget and after asking the Crew chief what he would do different next time he quickly replied "Get a lighter driver" The End -Now I believe I saw this article in a magazine somewhere or maybe I made it all up, but a lot of points do seem plausible so take it with a grain of salt. But that was a solid run never the less

[@sidefx996]

Why are all the video game little kiddies talking Veyrons and shit? Veyron will still do an extremely impressive 204 in the mile, but this Camaro is in a different GALAXY. GET A FUCKING CLUE! THIS IS STANDING MILE RACING!

[@shotgunarms]

263, in a Camaro. HA, nice!

[@ChargedTTq]

One hand on the steering wheel... you've got to be insane! Here's hoping Kelly's Vette can take the title back for the LS cars!

[@alexandermarr8323]

He had to shift gears with the other dipshit

[@LuckyGarageUSA]

+John Smith Most 1/4mi Drag cars with 1000hp+ use autos, so for a 2500hp car, running 260mph+ and hes over there using a stick shift, its pretty impressive lol

[@TheBluebomber23]

This is a standing mile, not top speed. Bugati's standing mile for the edition you talked about is only at 204 MPH. Do your research before you hate.

[@RSChris666]

All wheel drive versus two. And 10 mph difference at that speed takes a lot more power than you would think.

[@Eco19]

Look at this guy one handin it at 260. "No its alright im not busy i can talk on the phone."

[@twhite5978]

Good job guys and its a Chevy:-) Love the sound! Love two be driving, You need a back up driver:-)???

[@IssaBendeck1]

no wonder there are lots of euro cars using small blocks chevy out threre , and i still swear its the best v8 engine ever built HANDS DOWN

[@JACKSchannel1100]

a thunderbird??? okay. a ford gt is a rear engine sports car that costed 30 times as much as an 02 camaro would have

[@s70driver2005]

***** it means when somebody does or says something to that you don't like or don't want them to do... oh wait that's accosted.

[@TacTorsion]

At least the driver is alright. I can see in this video, the front end started to lift at 230.

[@jquest43]

Someday they will equal the kugal komponets 1992 firebird which ran 308 at Bonneville in 1999, What??

[@JayDee-bz2ge]

I wanna see a smart car doing this. Oh yeah, thats the car to build if you wanna go fast. Shaped like a jelly bean, all it needs is TT big block.

[@lobelifter]

That is one serious car! Very nice engine. That thing sounds so GOOD!!! As far as small block goes; "small block" is very general, like calling this Camaro an ordinary car. It's an LS, maybe an LSX. Small block to most would be a 350 based engine, which this is far from...

[@KireFlu]

Are you f'cking kidding me? 263mph is like 423km/h ;O

[@GUERREROZ65]

ese coche con lo poco que yo peso (50kg) lo podria poner a mas velocidad porque el conductor no se ve muy flaco que digamos jejeje increíble coche increíble sonido increíble el mecánico que le dio forma a ese precioso motor ohv

[@z28elbatista72]

En Camaros solo este Camaro logra esta velocidad,otros no lograrían aunque tuvieran el mismo motor y tuning ya q la cuarta gen es muy aerodinámico algo q los demás Camaros carecen

[@goo5976]

Lets not forget that an 1800hp Gallardo did 263.8mph on a bumpy rode in Russia. It didn't have parachutes, radials, or weight reduction. With 2500hp it should be hitting 285mph

[@dustinmiller3921]

+goo5976 This is the the texas mile not a several km road

[@linzitazim]

+dustin miller they also run the mile.

[@kevins5911]

At those speeds a extra 700hp would net you about a extra 5mph just ask the ford GT guy's. AT 250mph plus U need absurd amount of power to get those extra mph's. That 1800hp Gallardo would probably get a lil more than 5mph with 2500hp, Aerodynamics just as important Hp in the mile.

[@goo5976]

Kevin S im seein what youre saying, however, what I meant was that since the road is so bumpy, if it had better aero due to less bumps in the road, added power from the x package etc it should be doing atleast 280 with 2500hp,

[@traviesosencion9760]

lmao u ever driven a lambo or u stuck playing video games and watching youtube videos stfu!! point is they are proud of their work I think they did a mighty fine job on the car and on the track no doubt chevy and chevy built engines are amazing!!

[@kcjr54]

The car had a built t56, and the only used up to 5th gear b/c this power level would destroy 6th gear. I think they are going to something custom in the future to avoid future problems ;)

[@TheLTXCamaro]

The car is completely stripped of weight. If any more weight was taken then the car would of gone air born or wouldnt of had any traction at all. Most people dont realize you need some weight to go faster.

[@Gmajsa]

What the song name? VERY Beautiful!

[@foxxrider250r]

Is this car no more? what happened? and did he start in 3rd??

[@dalton83800]

that is the prefect car to do that in

[@slowpoke96Z28]

Is this the same car josh ledford drove or a different one?

[@yomomsshouse]

does he start in second gear or does he only make it to fourth gear?

[@1ScvReady]

You do know that GM does make a block called the LSX rated for 2500hp?

[@2013FiveOh]

Actually it is in America....what country do you live in?

[@binka1000]

So effortless lol

[@chrissullivan1756]

Bad ass car !!!!!!!!

[@gc302047]

can anybody tell me what gear is in the back and how tall of tire he is using? also is it a t56. car is amazing!

[@Birdofprey90]

In my point of view this camaro is better than the new fifth generation camaro, it's lighter and its looks better too

[@Palrath1]

whats the weight of the car?

[@a510592]

I wonder what the top speed on that monster is!

[@grabir01]

Larry Larsen does that in the Quarter mile !!

[@LP187q]

+grabir01 Not with a stock chassis steel bodied car and a 6sp he doesnt

[@dustinmiller3921]

+grabir01 i liked your comment because it is true but yea different deal. Not a real comparison kinda like the guy saying i saw a lambo do 260+ yea well not in the texas mile.

[@danielmadera1144]

Is a turbocharger or supercharger better for increasing torque at speeds less than 60 mph?

[@sleisch833]

supercharger. with a turbo, the boost relies on the exhaust gasses to spin the turbine with the supercharger the belt goes directly to the crank therefore no lag in boost at lower speeds like with a turbo

[@bubub56]

Sam Leisch great explaination

[@hoytsigman6791]

That's a fast fucking car!!!

[@decside]

Speed itself is relatively cheap, but when you build a car to be able to achieve and handle those speeds properly, it can get quite expensive.

[@SZfiftyfour]

That's the fastest catfish I've ever seen

[@IssaBendeck1]

what happened? is he ok?

[@LORDZERO777]

THE VEYRON WOULD GET UTTERLY DESTROYED BY THIS MONSTER

[@luisferlopez100]

How fast is the quarter mile??

[@daliel24dm]

Cool what kind.of.engine.does it have if you dont mind

[@scoobsshrooms109]

Oh I don't know May be in the title or should I just say a twin turbo V8

[@sierravmax]

It appears to have a LSX block.

[@linzitazim]

b16a,with cherry bomb tail pipe .

[@cshos66]

+linzitazim this guy gets it lol

[@kwltommy]

You can daily a Bugatti Veyron. That makes a world difference in the engineering.

[@mistofuzzy]

What trans can hold this horsepower?

[@digthisv8]

What motor was in it?

[@MrStlover99]

there is a 2200 hp car out of the US, claiming to hit 60mph in 1 sec and fastest car in the world and daily driven

[@MrTech190]

Where is the video of the crash. I wanna see it happen.

[@brandonhunt4472]

the Bugatti takes like 2.3 miles to get up that fast, this car is twice as fast off the line

[@MrRodney3456]

understand this 2500hp standing mile vs 1200hp 7 mile oval track. Another 1/8 the camaro would be close to 300 or airborne

[@chevellenut1968]

may the Camaro R.I.P

[@kalebrodriguez6777]

i wish that is my car

[@ariesskowron2651]

you really like cars dont u

[@kalebrodriguez6777]

yes i do don't judge me

[@ariesskowron2651]

i wont. its a nice car

[@MrStlover99]

Its weird how cars have to sound like dragsters to achieve what two cars have, quietly

[@drunkhobo149]

For all those saying a gtr or a r35 cannot obtain these speeds you obviously haven't seen the ams gtr that is easily capable of 2000+HP that's with a v6 to, and it eats lambos.

[@danielm.9052]

old Ford GT on Texas mile went to 278.7 mph.

[@z28elbatista72]

sure, modified just like this

[@itsJohnnyDill]

Built on an F-body with T-tops. Not exactly an ideal platform. Well done!

[@entropy156]

Actually, it's a pretty damn good one. 3rd Gen F-bodies have really excellent aerodynamics. That's why they're popular at Bonneville, too.

[@MrStlover99]

Lambo is the greatest but Veyron is still in another league and 1600hp is coming soon. Americans always say "there is no replacement for displacement". Veyron has a whole lot of displacemet

[@victarnewmon]

They will be faster n better. Glad Joe ok.

[@danhellerjr]

Fast as hell but, that damn GT just won't go away. Bwahahahaha!

[@Fatalimit]

what engine platform is this car running?

[@chandleryoung7289]

Christopher Snyder it’s an ls built by Latemodelengines look them them up they have the best ls motors

[@chandleryoung7289]

Also look up the unicorn c6

[@jweezyadig]

Though admittedly I too like muscle cars(all cars really). At the moment I own a Subaru and Honda's so I am grouped with the "ricers" by anyone who doesn't like them. Though I've previously owned a BMW and Jeeps.

[@kwltommy]

I wouldn't want to if I had one, but I could if I wanted to :]

[@PKTST]

almost all 2000+ hp are B.B.C A.M is awsome!!!

[@2013FiveOh]

Saboury's '63 Vette, it's not quite 2,500 hp, but it's close, and it was faster than Larson's Nova, street driven.

[@Jonho_ninja]

lmao... this car has must have a shit ton of engine weight in the front and aero dynamic mods. try going 190 in an un modded camaro. that shit is scary. the front feels like its going to lift off the ground... lol fuckin eh its scary.

[@The01camaross]

did 160 in my stock 01 ss and it was planted like hell didn't wonder anywhere. now at 190 might have been different

[@Jonho_ninja]

The01camaross even at 160 its scary.

[@The01camaross]

mine was nice and neat. but that stock spoiler on the ss helps a lot

[@silfocus84]

The01camaross or you just didn't feel it lol. the SS is awesome but has horrendous aerodynamics...

[@Stealthcola]

Only thing scary about it are the windows trying to leave the car.. Mine was smooth at 170, '99 SS

[@IssaBendeck1]

NICEST STATMENT EVER LOL LOL

[@MrMcbear]

The car can be rebuilt, Joe can't...

[@Truthcanbeconfusing]

what is the half mile mph????????????

[@theseventhsense77]

every ferrari v12 and lambo v10 and v12 ever built. the aventador has around 700 horsepower for its 6.5 liter v12 and the ferrari f12 makes 740 naturally aspirated horses. plus the f1 cars of the v10 days ran N/A v10s at about 1000 horsepower. i get your point, and i agree with you. but thats about the limit of naturally aspirated engines, american or otherwise. to get past that and be streetable and run on gasoline, forced induction is the only route

[@xjkillerx]

I wish my fourth gen could go that fast

[@dustinmiller3921]

+Jeremiah They can bro you just missed the recall.

[@utooberblooper]

just get the wrench out and use credit,lots of credit.

[@aspieotaku3580]

No Ferrari can beat that not even their million dollar version.
