This project is going to be a challenge but I can’t wait to rip it around town 😎💪🏻!

[@justkiddin1980]

LOVE IT!!! Only thing is with drag and drive if you break down, nobody that’s along for the ride will have spare parts or will be able to fix it on the road…When you have standard American v8 stuff you can fix it in your local garage…

[@CJRaceCars]

@@justkiddin1980 very true. Hoping to run 8.50 weeks can have it turned wayyyy down and it will be really reliable power plant.

[@saganworshipper6062]

You got the right guys around to pull this off! Just don't rush it and remember to take a step back and sleep on it now and again. Do that and you'll be fine.

Cameron and his guys have been top notch the quality of there work is impeccable 👌 👏 just glad more people are finally seeing how bad ass they are just cleetus building a pro car to get Cameron's team out there on KZbin they put out some amazing cars

[@lonnyself3920]

I think it has always been just no one new , seen them build a few very reputable cars already and Danny a odd scientist with a tiny bit of raging cajon boiling to the surface now and then . LOL

[@Mikefischrr]

Me too. Cleeter brought me but damn I’m glad I stayed lol.

[@bioklastic7464]

Got a $35,000 Audi V10 hanging on a $300 Harbor freight engine hoist...... I'm glad Garret got me to subscribe to this channel.......

[@CJRaceCars]

Taking chances 😅😂

[@dbjunior1238]

I've seen tons of builders use harbor freight engine hoists at this point I think they are proven reliable. Now the slow pump jack can be replaced with an air powered jack to save time and your arms

[@keithmiller9603]

And it worked just fine didn’t it?

[@79tazman]

That hoist just had a one hundred thousand dollar Proline Hemi hanging from it the other week.

[@lonnyself3920]

I restored many of spendy Mopar's with harbor freight tools sure cut cost , some tools I wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole but most there stuff pretty comparable

The sound of that engine in the Camaro is going to be amazing. This is awesome.

😎

[@NonTypicalRacing]

Well, the sound might actually leave a lil bit to be desired. It will be made up for by its awesomeness in appearance and idea though! But yeh...she gonna sound like a wet fart...a LOUD one, like...Taco Bell/12pk of Pabst style.

[@brianwaldo2642]

Another Cleetus inductee here🙂. I’m really enjoying the different projects you’re working on these days. I’m also impressed with the competency and skill of the crew there at CJRC. I would hazard a guess that no one else has ever thought about putting a Lamborghini V10 in a Camaro, never mind actually doing it. I’m looking forward to seeing it rip.

[@Peg_Leg9n]

Absolutely love the willingness to do wild and new things coming out of CJRC 💯👍👏

[@CJRaceCars]

We are going to keep pushing new things 😎

[@cantgoslow]

I'm so in love with this build.akes a great change from the usual engine combos. That V10 will be the best sounding motor at the track. Easy for me to say, but please make this happen!

I like the idea of a cradle mount, that makes sense. I love the fact that you guys listen to each other and announce ideas around! That kind of communication will get the project done and done right! I think this is gonna be really really cool, and I can’t wait to see it! The difficulty that you’re going to go through is what’s going to keep viewership on your channel I think. I think it was smart to do something unique that makes people want to watch how are you overcome the issues from your project.
