FIRST DRIVE- Guanci SSJ "Corvette killer" Prototype WORKS! - Video #2

[@Johnwalter1044]

Man, i think you got one of the most enthusiastic students ever Casey! They will form a fantastic team!

[@CaseyPutsch]

Agreed! They are all awesome people.

[@انا_ابراهيم_البناوي]

They are absolutely incredible ​@@CaseyPutsch

Genius Garage is the best program in the country right now for young engineering minds! Thanks, Casey!

[@CaseyPutsch]

Thanks! I think so!

[@sarahdell4042]

@@CaseyPutsch You should do updates of past students. Where they are career wise, to get the word out. I wish something like this was around when I was of age. There was a formula type program at another school, but other than that. Nothing like this was remotely available.

Enjoying the growth and mentoring of your channel. Nice lineup of cars ,still a car guy..

[@WexWerxScott]

that's a rad car Casey! Glad to see y'all bringing it back!

[@CaseyPutsch]

Thanks!

[@sarahdell4042]

This is one of those rare vehicles in which I’ve never heard a single thing about. Definitely unique!

[@donlemme898]

To say this video was interesting is a massive understatement. Great kids and such a cool car to have in the shop.

[@yamahjett]

That 4.0L engine has a pretty cool racing history if I remember reading correctly about them. Pap had an Aurora with one of those in it.

[@charlieposey5078]

Zinger on the outro - LOL! You got a good crop this time, Casey!

[@paulking54]

Very entertaining episodes. What a lovely car and nice friendly gang of yoot to help. This is one of my favourite American cars I have seen so far...... Good works Casey.

[@CaseyPutsch]

Thank you kindly

[@nthgth]

Pretty cool car, I'm surprised at myself for having never heard of it before I saw it on here.

[@andrewmunczenski3632]

nice job on this video. Interesting car for sure.

[@sarahdell4042]

What a funky looking thing.

[@memertmemes2586]

For sure. Oh we are talking about the car. The car looks pretty cool

[@sarahdell4042]

@@memertmemes2586 I would seriously love to know. Why post this? What’s the point of being mean towards someone who has done absolutely nothing to you or said anything negative to warrant such a vile response? Is your life really that sad?

Love these new style of mechanical videos, just information and authenticity as per usual, keep it up man!

[@CaseyPutsch]

Glad you like them!

I’m here from marketplace, I was just scrolling and boom, this pops up for sale and I had to know more about it🔥💯

[@Viporghini]

The ending was hilarious 😅

[@EJleon96]

The Corvette Killer was killed before it even had a chance to kill the Corvette🤣 nothing can kill the Corvette💪🏼 the C5 proved that

[@انا_ابراهيم_البناوي]

Yessss been waiting for this and it sounds amazing although it didn't last for long but my guess is that it's probably a fuel system thing

[@CaseyPutsch]

Working on that today actually.

[@انا_ابراهيم_البناوي]

@@CaseyPutsch Good to hear hopefully it doesn't turn into a nightmare

[@Gearbhall]

I am curious about the handling dynamics of that car. Given how well built it is, I wonder if the suspension engineering was good for the time also.

[@bigalsgarage9323]

I would recommend spraying some Lysol into HVAC intake.

[@DrGibs347]

22:08 as a mechanic. This was extremely painful to witness.

[@nealbechstein8350]

The Alero and Aurora both had similar rim styles. If the tires are 235/60R16, odds are they are Aurora. I owned a 96 and any tire shop I would call about tires knew it was an Aurora as soon as I gave them the tire size, so they must have been pretty unique to that car at the time.

[@Paul_D_Lashley]

Shelby was super hyped about that aurora v8 when I came out. GM spent tons on development.

[@P-J-W-777]

I would drive the crap out of that car. Very good looking car. Comes from a time when designers could actually design a car that someone is proud to drive said vehicle unlike today with all these goofy 5 year old EV designers whose designs are very douchey.

[@cpftank09]

I heard you mention Seafoam fuel system cleaner. I suggest something like Techron, BG 44k or Redline fuel system cleaners. You want a high PEA content since that chemical is the best for cleaning the fuel system and carbon. Seafoam is nothing more than isopropyl alcohol and a couple other chemicals. Decent as a fuel stabilizer, but doesn’t do much cleaning.

[@oonwing]

Cool

[@paulkenney1074]

That’s 4.0 engine is the same engine Shelby used in the series 1 cause he said it was the best most advanced engine in America at that time and they are capable of making 450 hp all day

[@That_ViperDude]

Sweet cassette player

[@stevendemoss6609]

The old fuel line is old and collapsing when under pressure. Check the actual pump for old cracked line

[@ruleninetyone]

That reversed really strangely? Welded or limited slip differential?

[@beardoe6874]

At 10:38, is that a half of a v-band clamp hanging down? That might be a source of smoke.

[@SVW1976]

Are those Oldsmobile wheels?

[@MrJerobona]

What car is that nice looking one made out of? I see full GM parts, Firebird? Fierro? Corvette?

[@CaseyPutsch]

It’s a prototype, not a kit car

[@Works2Shoot]

If it's late 70s/early 80s, how did it get the Alero powertrain and interior?

[@CaseyPutsch]

Are you familiar with relative time being linear?

[@Works2Shoot]

@@CaseyPutsch I am not - genuinely curious of the history of the car as it's a pretty interesting idea. Was it refreshed in the late 90s with an updated powertrain? Edit - or was that a joke saying that they built it with 70s/80s construction styles?

[@jeffreyoldham55]

Does the Guanci share any engine components with the Olds Aerotech? I think that was a Quad 4, and if this is a V8, then probably not.

[@CaseyPutsch]

Doubt it

[@CaseyPutsch]

Ameritech was just an indy car with a body. No joke

[@dylantran8492]

There were two Aerotechs. One with the quad 4, another with the Aurora V8.

[@thman6453]

Oxiclean is great for odors put a little in a carpet shampooer

[@SethDaughters]

Looks exotic, sounds mundane.

[@AoiKaze2000]

Think the fuel pump is dying?

[@dylantran8492]

Those are Aurora wheels! Not Alero 😅

[@Chris-hq7nl]

What was the rationale for using automatic transmissions in GM based supercars of the time? The Vector also used a TH350, I think.

[@nthgth]

My guess would be that they couldn't find a manual 'box that could easily bolt up to the engine *and* handle the power, and I guess they were too cheap to commission one from Getrag or something

[@Chris-hq7nl]

@@nthgth that’s fair. I remember reading that the 80s F Bodies couldn’t have a stick with the 350 because the T5 couldn’t handle the torque from even an 80’s TBI 350.

[@nthgth]

@@Chris-hq7nl I kinda remember reading that that wasn't the real reason; that they just more or less cheaped out on certification by limiting the build combinations. Could be wrong on that. But what you say is very plausible, and remember this car is mid-engine so it's possible that not just any manual transmission would've been eligible even if it could handle the torque. The Aurora powertrain is transverse, so I would think something like a T-5 would be out of the question anyway. Just spitballing though; I know almost nothing about this car (or the Vector).

[@AoiKaze2000]

So what became of the King Zero?
