I just wanna send this to every jdm fanboy on the internet... This car is wicked, and kudos to the driver too - riding out continuous slides around tracks as open as that takes incredible talent.

[@ratss454]

[@bonzo9303204406]

[@herpnderpn2484]

My friend I believe you may have discover the happy medium between music and engine noise. To you I tip my hat.

[@stonemove4207]

[@AutoviitalaDriftTeam]

[@RacingCultureGR]

awesome drift and awesome driver.. really hard car to control..

[@t_rex8767]

perfect combo, muscle cars and drifting

[@zack620]

These guys are fucking awesome!

[@valso]

This video makes me miss Level R even more than I have ever missed it. Two of the things I love the most are on this video - American muscle and drift. Level R was the third thing I loved the most cuz it was an opportunity for a person without a driving license to have some drift, even though it was just virtual.

[@terr0rwolf]

I love your Camaro, the LS3, the perfect color combination and the front-end. Good camera work too!

[@Cxampion]

American drift, these guys are no joke

[@AutoviitalaDriftTeam]

In this film still leafsprings, and coil-overs with additional springs. But if you look newer 2012 promovid, then 4-link, panhard bar and coil-overs, and rack&pinion steering and turning front wheels.

[@R0B0nRB]

Amazing, perfect... :3 Drift

[@itshamadnawaz407]

I love that mucle cars

[@almostserious75]

Sounds gorgeous!...

[@AlexInDaYouTube]

an unreal sound of the engine that music can be removed

[@AutoviitalaDriftTeam]

Benefit, stiffer springs, i don´t remember now exact spring ratios but let´s say that then i had stiff leafsprings that were 50kg/cm, and springs on coilovers 50kg/cm also, so totally 100kg/cm. Now when i have 4-link setup, i am using 97kg/cm springs on coil-overs.

[@PaceSetterHeaders]

Thanks for choosing Pacesetter

[@MMOLegend]

That was bad ass lol

[@farsscf]

Would love info on how you went about this. I have a 79 that I have had for 22 years now. I love the look!

[@AutoviitalaDriftTeam]

Not that lot, rearend conversion and rearwindow frames took couple days of labour. Project threads on LS1Tech, driftworks and nastyz28 if want to see pic...

[@AutoviitalaDriftTeam]

Music is: AIRBOURNE - Runnin' Wild

[@MattttSwanton]

@braxton434 its actually an early 70's camaro

[@secondhandhorsepower]

@mantaAR6 just to be clear you were running leafsprings with coilovers in place of your shocks? if so what benefits does that have over just really stiff shocks and leafsprings

[@AutoviitalaDriftTeam]

No it´s not, 78 z28. Just changed 1970 fiberglass front end to it, changed rear panel and back of rear quarters and made new rear window frames. So 78, right ;-)

[@AutoviitalaDriftTeam]

@farsscf Project thread can be found here in ls1tech forum, or nastyz28, search ls3 drifitng camaro

[@ivandiaz5024]

Makina

[@SlangenRacing]

WAY cooler car, smoke, and sound than all the other shitricers out there!!!!!!

[@AlastorTheNPDemon]

Sounds a tad bassy for an LS3. Unless the sharper sound of the Corvette comes from the specific exhaust manifold.

[@americanmusclecar100]

That works too :p

[@secondhandhorsepower]

@mantaAR6 i would like to know what suspension set up you are running in the rear. 4 link im guessing?

[@secondhandhorsepower]

Wow leafs!!! I give u hardcore props. @mantaAR6 im planning my 81 z28 to be a auto-x road coarse and drift monster. Vh45de swap :)

[@Knivesandstuff4]

[@myleshebert5107]

[@JIP83]
