Having an 850 HP Camaro ZL1 go sideways mid-pull! (Was not expecting that!)

In this one we do a 850 hp build on a 2018 Camaro ZL1, which includes headers, cam, ported blower and all of the supporting mods. We also upgraded the fuel system so this car can run on a mix of E-85.

[@mikehempstead7243]

The ZL1 must have the rear control and toe arms replaced at that power level, the stock rubber bushings and stamped arms will allow the rear alignment to flex all over the place which is what was going on here.

[@johnphillipsjr7238]

🤦‍♂️

[@mikejamesalt]

Great piece of driving. Appreciate the pulls done with minimal traffic. Took three lanes to control that machine. Some day I’ll own such a machine.

[@TonyPajamas24]

mikejamesalt yes you will 🙏🏽

A Porthole (not portal) approach into another dimension! Great sales demonstration for mandatory chassis & suspension upgrade 📦 package.

[@svtman93]

The guy driving reminds me alot of Johnny Knoxville, he has the same voice xD

[@IrishWariorKing]

LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLO 👍

[@crewcab1984rv]

And He looks a little bit like Knoxville also

[@champion1389]

🤣🤣🤣

[@timetogetit7225]

Johnny Knoxville if he went on a diet. And started working on cars

[@brianenochs]

Great save my man... Great save... 🍻💯 If you would have stayed in the throttle or hit the brakes it would have been over for that ZL1... You did exactly what your supposed to do... Stay calm let off the gas pedal and carefully counter steer out of the slide... Perfect reaction 👌

[@adamcramer6009]

I like seeing a little bit of every step. These builds are really cool! I also like seeing some personality. Aldo and Dan’s spirited demeanors go well with the scene.

[@Clay_kn4nil]

You have the best job tuning and driving all these beasts! Keep up the great content!

[@gsmith207]

Yup, I clicked it immediately because of title. Big deal. Knew it would be cool so frig off. Click bait does work but its all in the content. Great channel boys! You rock

[@quincymcguire287]

Good save brother! That thing is nasty! Love GM... AND, another knock out of the park build on Mike's lastest Vette! That makes four now doesn't it? Someone mentioned in his comments that this ZR1 should be appropriately named "Grandson"! I can't agree more actually!

[@RoadRunners285]

The fact that you didnt crash after losing control at those speeds shows your skill as a driver

[@scott1566]

Great vid. Keep them coming. Saint John. New Brunswick Canada

[@miguelrichiekarservicecolo6180]

Crazy, but I truly love the Camaro. Always been a Chevrolet Camaro fan. Love your videos, can't wait to see the next Camaro.

[@ismaelmarrero8377]

That was allsome seeing that Camaro going a little sideways I love the way you tune those late Model Cars am waiting to see you taste drive the 65 carbon C7 that's going to P.R.a big tums UP to you and your team for building some killer cars.

[@corsa2182]

yo put aldo in the vids more, that guy is funny asf

For real haha

[@alanblasczyk1779]

Wow...Gnarley Steve...that was awesome.

[@coreycarter8469]

Aldo is the best. Loved him on Mexico racing too, more of him videos are way better

Nice car and A great build.

[@stockk5128]

Hahahaha

[@kassimshoaibi2754]

I realized there was dirt where the car spun

[@kstoneace]

Great Channel always good content. I love the silver bridge (silver front teeth) Aldo Reminds of the tough bad guy on the old James Bond 007 movies. He would bite through steel ! 😬 moon raker, spy who loved me. They called him “Jaws”

[@rich5.08]

Nice save u know u can handle power when u dont panic and oversteer and let out

[@aarongentile7232]

Awesome, as always!

[@leoreid5649]

Pucker power at a 10 lol way to stay with it, what a ride 👍.

[@doubleoddbuck00]

Lol... Nice recovery 👍 LMR 🤘

[@boltfan12]

Common problem with the ZL1 getting squirrely on the top end. It's not the tires (I tried 2 sets) but more likely rear alignment as Steven mentioned.

[@truknz71]

I had the same problem in a 2017 Camaro SS convertible (Auto) that I rented in Vegas. I would be doing 80-90mph on the straight freeway and punch it, the car would always shoot to the left hard. I really didn't like it because I didn't know if I should wait and turn it it back or turn it it while punching it. I still did it about 100 times while I was there for a week. The 2016 same car was a lot more enjoyable to do that in.

[@Shawn-ne6ld]

Aldo is so much better on camera and a whole lotta Kool. Show him more.💯💯🇺🇸🇺🇸

[@AJsSpeedShop]

Definitely need to get the Run flat front tires off with the DRs on the rear...that’s why it’s weaving...

[@nyelement007]

im excited to see what you do to streetspeed717 c7 zr1. if he keeps the gallardo yall should do a twin turbo kit for it. would sound soooooooo good.👍👍👍👍👍👍 love the work you guys do....keep it up

[@jpman9795]

Lol, thank god for three lanes...she used em all up! He's in the trees if its two lanes.

[@SpaceMissile]

I'll bet he chose that empty three-lane road for a reason. "Driving experience" has many forms.

[@MrTeloniousB]

When you spun during the pull, if you look close at the video you can see a huge discoloration of the road when it broke loose. Possibly slick spot?

[@davehager8792]

I can't wait till my V pulls like that when I get it back from y'all!!

[@stephenalexander2427]

Your neck says it all ! 🤣🤣🤣 OOOOH SHIT DONT HIT THE CURB ! Great video 👍

[@houstonspeeds1610]

so does Aldo work full time at lmr? or he got his own shop? great vids keep em coming 🤘🤘👍

[@Combat556]

Too many distractions. Did he drop anything down an intake port?

[@dwaynealexander307]

It's not the alignment, it's the tires. I have them on my hellcat and I'm taking them off and putting the Nitto 555R2's back on.

[@MtPilot-mh3zl]

Farmer torque on those heads like we say in N.C. Tight as it will go and 1 more round !! LOL.

[@ssclary1]

Chevy Power 🇺🇸💪🏽

[@Belktronix]

really dumb question but here goes...when adding power, would it be easier to add separate port injector/pump and read the o2 sensor and add fuel if it starts to go lean? I hear a bunch about tuning, seems easier to tack on another independent system to monitor the o2 and kick in fuel if it goes south...then the stock system isn't modded...guess where i live...lol

[@chriskindler7625]

GOOD SAVE!!!

If you like the content thumbs up if you don't thumbs down. Brilliant and honest two thumbs up for that comment.

[@dbf752]

@LMR, does the factory traction control still operate like stock after the 850hp upgrade? I got a quote for this package but I know TRC has saved my butt more than a few times.

[@natewoods6494]

Looks like there was a patch of sand or gravel in the road. Happened to me, I flipped my 4th gen trans am because of some funky ass gravel. Lucky to have escaped with my life

[@nuffdoggiggey4103]

The slash in traction control icon keeps your car from sliding ..it's opposite of what you think ..try it.

[@tayzer22]

'Yeah... I'm not gonna do that again...' haha. Pucker factor.

[@The1969ssx66]

nice work, glad it wasn’t a mustang or you would be eating grass! a good set of 325/35-20 nitto’s would help and an alignment. on that stock rear😳👍

[@sea-saw2654]

Totally Not Safe... I’m glad he said it......

[@w.k.luckettiii1493]

Do you guys have a 850 package? I heard the installer saying that but the tuner said 800 package. If so what’s the difference in the 850 vs 800 package?

[@kellymonday6137]

Nice job keeping it going forward bud.

[@scotmorris8640]

Camel Crush silver!! My dude,

[@jackstoepfer1494]

Def different road in that section it broke loose. Watch the rear go pro. There was a road repair there

[@s550mustang5]

When your test driving what are monitoring? I didn’t know about LMR until recently I’ve watch 5 videos so far and you all do a great job with them however why do you look so familiar? Did you do an episode on street outlaws? Keep up the great content I’m new to the car seen and just trying to learn as much as I can.

[@NORACN]

YEA THEY DID AN EPISODE ON STREET OUT LAWS, AND IT WAS TV AND A SET UP FROM THE START, THOSE 405 GUYS WERE ONLY GONNA RACE IF WE DID EVERYTHING THEIR WAY OR THEY WOULD NOT RACE US, IT ALL HAD TO BE AT THE 405's ADVANTAGE OR THEY WOULD'NT RACE US , THEN THEY TALKED SHIT ABOUT US , IT WAS FAKE TV BULLSHIT BACK THEN EDIT THIS EDIT THAT, BET FAKE MONEY BETS JUST FOR TV RATINGS. AND ONE DAY SOMEONE IS GONNA STRUM CHUCKS HEAD, AND I HOPE IT GETS VIDEOED AND THE WHOLE WORLD GETS TO SEE IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@s550mustang5]

M A J thanks for the response which season and episode if you remember could you let me know I’d like to watch it I remember a firebird from txt that was pretty badass. Have a great rest of your weekend

[@fastmaros]

Hell yeah !! #chevypower

[@Low_Quality_Entertainment]

22:15 you can see the light spot on the road that caused the spinning.

[@chrishollar6080]

Looks like some real sandy soil from the construction site across the road or something 👌

[@slickcasner4205]

I know it’s a lot of cash. Pick up a decent alignment machine your customers will absolutely appreciate it. I bet you will be surprised at how fast your return on investment will be. A lot of people switch to alignment multiple times a year to pending on what they’re doing

[@scotts6596]

I'd definitely request that ONLY Dan work on my car if I ever went to LMR. Someone else is goofing around too much and smoking on and around the New car. TOO aloof in my opinion.

[@johnfehlow5202]

Is if you go to LMR you car comes back stinking like cigarettes??? You know that smoke is in your lungs and then when people smell it it is in there’s afterwards that’s bad for any day but during COVID times double gross

[@DaMostShadiest]

Yea Aldo is a good dude and does good work. But I would never take one of my corvettes there. Smoke outside Aldo!

[@dansherwood1043]

I agree. Can't believe they haven't given him an ultimatum. Just asking for customer issues and possible safety issues smoking near cars with fuel vapor.

[@9663mu]

Why not do the injectors and make it complete for E85 if they already have the car apart ? Anyway badass car either way.

[@LateModelRacecraft]

Larger Mechanical fuel pump and Injectors and are expensive. But yes, if it was installed, this car could run full E85.
