[@neverstoppulling5169]

Love it when people drift uncommon cars

[@user-z3r0187]

NeverStopPulling me too

[@Tarvisse]

F bodys are the best, most well-rounded cars for the money. Wether autocross, drag, or even drifting apparently!

[@bradleylovej]

@Ls1 1980cutty God I love LS1 F-Bodies

[@arachniawebz6176]

Yep. Multi-purpose machines :)

[@Prime.Era.]

Love seeing American cars getting drifted for a change

[@kilgore280]

not just American car but an Pontiac 😎

[@turtlecrawling66]

They’re actually Canadian

[@blixxy1320]

@@turtlecrawling66 actually north american

[@turtlecrawling66]

@@blixxy1320 nope, if you look on the inside of the door it says made in Canada.

[@Fastskull]

@@turtlecrawling66 .. yes but the company is an American company that produces their products in Canada.

[@jeffreyzimmerman2553]

F bodies actually are pretty light. They utilize some fiberglass throughout the body. Really an underrated car all the way around.

[@buhrrito]

A MIATA IS AT ABOUT 3K LBS, AN F BODY IS LIKE 3500? POWER MAKES UP FOR IT. AWESOME CAR.

[@zerohourdrift]

buhrrito lmao Miata 3000 pounds? Yea right. More like 2200. A stock 4th gen is around 3300 pounds, but with a lot more power. Yes, power does make up for it though

[@ChevyCamaroIsBetter]

Certain v8 3rd gen fbodies weigh within 500-600lbs of a miata from factory.

[@zerohourdrift]

Warhead Urban Exploration no they don’t. Even the new miatas weigh around 2400 pounds. The lightest 3rd gen f-body available weighed around 3200 pounds....still a light car especially considering the power, but nowhere near within 500 pounds of a Miata lmao

[@ChevyCamaroIsBetter]

@@zerohourdrift 4cyl 3rd gens weighed 2800. Base model v8 cars weigh around 3000. Even 1le cars weighed around 3100. You can look that up. Also the NC miata weigh 2450-2500..

[@chevy2061]

I miss pontiac....

[@reesewilliamson3346]

chevy this is oddly appropriate given your name

[@joemarandres4433]

chevy I

[@silverpandaws6230]

chevy i do too. ;-;

[@35RSkyline]

Yea me to. Some people gave them a bad wrap but look how many of them are still on the road running granted the engines used are found in all Buicks and Chevys in the same time ERA with the 3.1 3.4 and 3.8 we're all great engines. My first car was a Pontiac with a 3.1l v6. Ran the shit out of that car and it never gave up on me

[@biggboysouth]

Yup I bought a 2001 v6 firebird during college and it had 100K miles. I sold the car at 200K miles for a 2002 WS6 =) but Firebird was still running like a top. sold it to a college kid an last I heard over a year ago he was still driving it. I honestly miss that car.

[@MichaelBacon212]

I grew up riding and driving in F bodies and they have a special spot in my heart. I freaking love them. Especially the WS6 Trans Ams. Love em.

[@bradleylovej]

Absolutely. My first car was a '95 Firebird. Just bought a black 2000 Ws6 because it is my favorite car of all time. Without question.

[@anthonysterling1]

OG with the matching color truck and race car

[@bobfalfa76]

Anthony Sterling That's "OG"?

[@TurboShotIncredible]

Definitely looks like a well built car! We have an Ls2 Trans Am with very similar UMI suspension-glad to hear you enjoyed how it felt! Great driving as usual!

[@deangelolawson6184]

This is a testament to your driving skill taylor with these drift reviews. It really shows that you can hop in any car a chuck it sideway with respect to not just send it...best youtube car channel of 2018

[@Giftied]

somehting to add to these videos is some clips of the owners drifting and maybe some passenger shots of them driving aswell

[@bryanmurphy26]

That thing is gorgeous. I love seeing any unusual drift builds. I'm sending this to one of my friends who just bought a 4th gen Camaro for motivation. On a side note, you should strap your helmet. I've seen what can happen if you don't. One of my friends got a concussion at a drift event when her helmet flew off.

[@TomasSheehan1991]

That guy seems like a sound fella and the cars cool

[@DeeZeeGR]

Taylor the guy that can drift anything haha 😂 absolutely love this type of videos thanks for making them!!!❤

[@vmondude]

King Whispa Yeah this series is really cool! Taylor keep doing them whenever you can it’s so nice to see all the different takes on drift builds

[@dcabral65]

I got a 94 f-body that i used to drift allot back in high school, now it's only once in a while that i drift. It has a 3.4l v6 that surprisingly makes the car kick out well in my opinion. I plan on putting a turbo on it hopefully sometime soon.

[@NoGripOnLife]

@3:29 that seth rogan laugh though lol

[@MrUmp2000]

Taylor your a BEAST!!! Any car you hop into you shred in. Keep these videos coming i like these reviews alot

[@coltbaney1642]

What's to hate, that thing is sick

[@giuseppeaccetta3996]

Just a tip that I think would be cool to show clip of the owner drifting it around the track once too

[@redslate]

Not a WS6, but still bad ass. These cars punch well above their figurative weight; true street legends.

[@PseudoReality28]

Been looking into an S, Z or E chassis. This Trans Am and Taylor's C5 are really making me reconsider.

[@TodrickMoore]

Man your excitement is contagious. These videos are going to be really good for your channel. Good stuff!

[@triggerfishable]

See you fixed the helmet mic, sounds great

[@MrBrypod]

Absolutely love the WS6. I had a 96 WS6. It's was an LT1 car though also with a 6 speed. Used to drift it here and there or should I say id play around in it. I absolutely loved that car, I do wish that I had bought a LS car and not the LT. But still amazing car to drive and own.

[@mikewarman9910]

Keep this up man. Awesome idea and great execution.

[@kseeger07]

I have a 1994 formula of the same color and this really is inspiring me to make a drift car out of it

[@jamietoolin8352]

kevin seeger I bet that Is gorgeous!

[@devonadams3443]

Do it

[@Mrmudbone_gaming]

If you have a formula, keep it original. Pontiac went out of business. Formulas are gonna be worth money.

[@dennisbryan7522]

I got a 1995 mine is built what is your setup?

[@sergeantspeed5941]

Buy a junker and fix it. The nicer ones are getting hard to find

[@NippyMoto]

I find it amazing that you can just get in any car and start drifting! Although I have been drifting for 6 weeks and you probably 6 years so experience probably helps!

[@lewisbiggs5977]

It's kind of like getting in a new manual car, take off once or twice and you just feel what the car wants you to do. You can weight transfer and clutch kick anything, so do that once conservatively like Taylor did and you can just feel what the car wants you to do!

[@Mugmagazine]

Hmm, defiantly considering trying to find an F-body project car.

[@zerohourdrift]

Shawn Stafford well based off the username, nissans lmao

[@alpal7shnikers760]

Loved this video!!! Ls trans ams have always been and always will be the shit

[@carlos64030]

The incredible sound this T/A makes, makes drifting 10 times more exciting and awesome!

[@mikemiller403]

I'm really enjoying the drift reviews, it's interesting to see the difference in building style. Keep it up, Taylor

[@Dibanator]

I’m really diggin this series, keep up the good work man!

[@jacknelson9440]

Hell yeah, seen it on Instagram and it's nice to see a in car point of view

[@cutthroat795]

He's a crazy man. Those are worth some money

[@mintsiez]

not really its still supper clean

[@brianfoley1052]

yea I got an fbody they are quite cheap good bang for buck

[@chadm528]

A ws6 maybe but i see rollers going 1500, sometimes even less

[@Otani_Garage]

this series is becoming so good. im looking forward to seeing more of these drift reviews!

[@andybobchak7497]

Taylor Ray I have 2 of the lighter more sleeper sisters the Firebird formulas one is a automatic the other is a six speed car they are trendously easy cars to slide around.

[@levimoore9972]

Andy Bobchak Unless you have a torsen differential :/

[@andybobchak7497]

Levi Moore torsen diff is okay not much different than an auburn unit the rear diff is fragile anyways stock the 6 speed cars destroy them on stock power. They are easy cars to slide tho.

[@andrewfaulk4688]

Andy Bobchak u Envy

[@andybobchak7497]

Andrew faulk they are cheap enuff cars anyone can buy one hell I bought a 98 z28 for $1600 I need a a parts car.

[@levimoore9972]

Andy Bobchak it holds up the same as the auburn, but it likes to one wheel peel at lower speeds. Especially with wider tires. :(

[@justinvaldez2498]

That audio quality tho. Almost sounded like it was dubbed over 💯💯

[@mavsformulaful]

Yesss! 4th gen 6sp with power, cut knuckes, and stock replacement susp (not setup right if its hopping), turns Taylor into F body guy! And u drive a miata bro, that things not huge- feather wt compared to the holden/ats based cars. Throw heidts irs on it and it's as purpose built as ur miata, in far less time. You could build one in a weekend w a long block sitting there- plus inexpensive tuning sesh.

[@ianturner7993]

the drift reviews are sick, keep it up

[@kelevra558]

I drift a LSA supercharged L33/4 speed gforce dogbox swapped 1996 ford Thunderbird. The entire chassis is seam welded and the subframes ties into the roll cage with custom subframe connectors i made. I did redo the pickup points on both subframes so i can run corvette wisefab components. It weighs 3090 pounds, makes 620 wheel on vp110, AND its IRS. The thing fux. I finished it like 3 weeks ago. Ive run Mt.Rose highway (google it...the road from Reno Nevada to lake Tahoe) so many times theres rubber dingle berries covering every outside guard rail on every corner. I have a 1.5j swapped '98 330ci too but i like my thunder chicken WAY more. It has such a ridiculous amount of angle and its long so at full lock its SOOOO stable and controllable. Buy one and build it. An LS fits in there super easy and the suspension is actually really really good stock the OE knuckles just get kinda weak when you cut them enough to make good angle and nobody makes poly bushings for the rear suspension. Oh shit thats right, if you get one have your local machinist spin you up some solid aluminum subframe bushings and upgrade the bolts to grade 12. It makes an astronomical difference. 2j swapped thunder chicken?? Any takers?? Ill share my suspension settings and modification specifications with you...by the way, its perfectly 50/50 weight distro as well. Like i said the thing fux.

[@rexgratteaux8655]

I LOVE THE WS6 TRANS AM , ONE OF THE BEST STREET CARS EVER MADE.

[@CurtRinehart]

Been following this car for a while now. So sick.

[@TankRust]

These videos are great! Your new camera looks good and the higher position on your helmet is much better. Audio is spot on! Nice job!

[@jackclifton9944]

I saw a video of him sliding this thing across like four lanes of traffic and it was amazing

[@dpedd12]

This car is sick. And these videos are awesome!

[@reliicx]

Review Alan’s FR-S, Marco’s S13 coupe, and Kelsey’s Galaxy S14.

[@LuisOrtiz-ko6yt]

Reliicx H and the G35 too!

[@dmasterson12]

Merica!!!!!!!!! That thing drifts buttery smooth

[@gtojoe8990]

Hell yeah! That's def gonna be my next project car a ws6. For drag racing tho lol. Sucks half the motor is under the dash tho.

[@310camaro]

Havoc Racing lol taking the #6 spark plug out is a bitch lol

[@gtojoe8990]

310camaro yeah no shit! I've pulled a 99 camaro ss with the ls1 out and its a bitch unless u drop it out the bottom..... We learned that the hard way lmao

[@310camaro]

Havoc Racing lol yup. I learned the hard way too. Pulled one out from the top and couldn't get the bitch back in. Lol so from the bottom it was.

[@Mrmudbone_gaming]

Yeah but center gravity is amazing.

[@zerohourdrift]

Havoc Racing it’s actually not though. It’s just the wiper cowl sticks out a good 6 inches. Delete that and the firewall is perfectly flat underneath and there’s no clearance issues

[@theblakeslees7065]

sweet, something good to watch while I poo

[@beautyjuicynayx06]

Austin B lmfao same

[@theycallmerebel]

Same 😂

[@gelandewagen4376]

super car bro and like put and in black this car looks very dangerous ferocious powerful bold and high quality

[@DistinctTuning]

Def enjoy this style video! Lots of car reviews out there but this is different and shows people all sorts of avenues love it !!

[@walirifai]

I'm loving this series! These vids definitely need a playlist on the channel page.

[@realbigveggie]

My fav T/A

[@kennedypuckettmusic2067]

we've got a 1998 Firebird Formula. we turned it into a drag car and then converted the suspension to do autocross, its. got 500-ish horsepower. however that wild bird could drift stock.

[@1dnr749]

Came here to see some TA vids because I miss my Modded Black WS6 6spd that I sold 2 yrs ago. So...NOW I'm heart broken after watching this awesome video of one I used to own.

[@downbadmilflover]

Maybe the extra mass over a Japanese car serves to weight your input juuuust right and get that smooth response over a lighter car. It is nice to see our friend here discover the wonderful potential of the F body.

[@nickolaspayne2778]

Owned three of these things, not all of them are nice and solid like this they're like the 240 of the domestic world. my 99 formula rattled like crazy.

[@banboosy]

Love these reviews, man. Some of your best content to date. More outside shots from a spectator's perspective would be awesome. I'd rather that the the shot from the side of the car or the one from the passenger side of the windscreen. Just have your helmet cam and shots outside not attached to the car.

[@HawksandHabs17]

New favourite KZbin series 👍

[@wait4it852]

Dope I like what your doing here bro cool af kinda feels like the hoonigan guys but not really because you have a different style of doing things

[@doridex]

I like these videos! But i would like it more if you put some footage at the end of the owners driving it at that track, just to see how the owners drive them.

[@BorisAus]

416 cubic inches is about 6.8 litre, also your vette has a torques tube connecting the motor to gearbox (transaxles) at least i think it does for those wondering what a transaxle is, its a gearbox and diff built in to one unit they us them in V8 super cars and the newer vette's not sure about the older ones tho

[@omarmondragon-martel3979]

Sick trans am having it drifting like that. Swoosh thru those corners.

[@Rugerman205]

Love how you’re rolling with the T-Tops OFF! Straight Smokey & The Bandit Style #Band1

[@harryfp1494]

I have actually been subbed to this guy for a wile

[@skyrocket2189]

Hell ya Taylor, that is really freaking awesome.

[@ProjectWrx]

Hmm not getting notifications for your videos. Really like this series!

[@blaketaylor7025]

Keep these going

[@arakis8743]

Keep with the reviews!!! LOVE them!!!

[@Garagehiroko]

Love the new review style videos man! Well put together.

[@TheKamurdoch]

The body style of those trans ams and camaros drift exceptionally well, my buddy had two camaros, they were both the v6 h.o version but they would drift dry pavement with no issues.

[@bradleylovej]

We used to do that shit in high school, haha. Those v6 cars with the 200 hp really will slide around on dry pavement.

[@collin_maloy]

My 85 foxbody has a solid rear and it does great on track. It can get upset by some things but mostly it holds its own

[@joshuagatti7587]

Good, original content Taylor. Take this and run with it man! No one else on KZbin does this sort of video, g shit.

[@khiribrooks2485]

Strano springs aaaaaa thats top quality shit I rember those days driving down windy roads with the top down melting the tires on grip runs

[@dylanmorin2534]

Wheel hop can be solved with lower control arm relocation brackets to get the geometry back

[@javidgt8]

Yeeee more reviews, its lit. I am super surprised at how good that thing drifts

[@jamiehernandez4378]

It’s the longer wheelbase . It slows the transition and makes things much smoother

[@TheRealDarthVadar]

Awesome ! Big ta fan have owned several new ones in the past 96 ws6 and a 00 ws6

[@LuisOrtiz-ko6yt]

Drift reviews? I'm in! Love to actually see the mods!

[@CamaroRick]

Fbody guys know how these cars are so easy to slide, all thats missing is an angle kit that no one manufactures. Badass video man. Id love to see how he did the spindles.

[@sweetlowfatjesus9663]

Awesome video, fbodies are awesome once you link up the chassis with aftermarket parts

[@T0m0zuki]

I'm so glad I bought one, with the LT motor, but nontheless ...

[@lb9gta307]

Those 2nd gen LT1s are very capable engines

[@toddaulner5393]

Props! Drift event is probably not the best place to do an interview... till you do showdown!!!!!!! Props!!!!!

[@scaryhandsome1960]

For you folks who think that some of the spark plugs are a pain on an an ls fbody just remove the coil brackets and set them aside and all the plugs are a piece of cake.

[@vmondude]

Wow man that thing sounds awesome, it was so smooth and controlled. My headmaster at school used to have a green on of those, and I’m in the UK haha!

[@sucapizda]

Owner is such a cool guy to. Awesome.

[@i_read_bad_reviews]

anything besides the normal drift car is my favorite drift car

[@butt5810]

drift reviews are an awesome concept! keep it up!!

[@TheRaccoonGoonGT]

That's dope! Never seen a 4th gen fbody drifting. Love them though, and out of all the cars I've had my 4th gen Camaro was always my favorite

[@keremysmith6866]

makes me love my trans am even more lmao f bodys are a different breed of a car they came from the factory destroying everything else on the streets in their time lmao

[@jimjensen016]

The microphone is so good in the helmet, like it alot. i must say that all your videos are really good. can i ask if its hard to try to balance the audio volume thru the clip ? its so stressful sometimes when i look on the long videos! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK AND GOOD LUCK !/ Jim SIM-DRIFTER from Sweden

[@Phymatic]

Yo this may seem lame but please do up your helmet Taylor! Be safe out there while you shred it bud.

[@MrEp1kk]

YESSS! add MSD on the vette n weld up your own xpipe too please Taylor :)

[@shawnjones7512]

F Bodies rule!!! 12:32 that is just beautiful!!!

[@sean7139]

Kennyslides is always on the LS pages on Instagram tearing it up. Always gets my like

[@dagrumpz8661]

I've always loved these F body's specifically the WS6 TA I thought about getting one of these to drift since you know LS good platform to learn sliding in I had a lot of fun doing donuts in my old v6 f body camaro. I've also always liked G8 GT's and GTO's would make fun drift cars and you don't see them very often (except GTO's)

[@driftingbrandonc.6480]

I know I'm watching a video, but man does that look SUPER smooth.

[@vvs2508]

Kenny really handles that!

[@dunnmx6106]

straight axle is pretty easy to drift just like go karts....very heavy go karts! lol

[@justinjobes2928]

DeCode Er I love tossing my 2002 Firebird around corners and she’s bone stock sus for now. These cars are highly under-rated. The plan is almost the same as he did with umi everything but I’m bending the Knuckle Tie rod arms not chopping and welding.

[@FloridaFX]

Notification Gang checking in

[@100proofcrew]

The WS6 is the best F body they ever made. Sick as fuck to see it sideways, the only other one I've seen on youtube is the Sketchy Vert on 1320
