Road Atlanta Onboard Jody O'Donnell Big Block Corvette 427 at The Mitty

[@beyond_the_infinite2098]

Yup, the old C3 Vettes were a handfull. But fast and outrageous looking.

[@DaleCarterDrives]

Listen to the idle at the very beginiing and you will know where Alex Van Halen got the intro for "Hot For Teacher".

[@danielkohler3458]

Spot on.

[@sanigene]

Love how much of the lap is driven with only ONE HAND on the wheel! Amazing!

[@apancher]

Johnny is built...different.

[@danilaodatunagem7193]

Amazing! When cars and motorsports were meant to be driven by man

[@charlieposey5078]

That's a whole lot of "Eff You" in a thin fiberglass wrapper. Love the soundtrack that thing puts out!

[@whiskeyactual.]

Goodness, what an absolute beast, both the car and the driver

[@extremedrivr]

So.. We obviously knew which Corvette was faster. But dang that 427 BBC beast looked hard to handle out there. And doin it one handed shows massive skills too. I kept yellin at my screen "get out of the way white Corvette he's faster" 😂😂👍👍 Awesome video!! BBC all the way!! 😎😎👍👍

[@bogthing1]

The guy in the '67 finally got the message...

[@magnuskristoffersen7651]

i loved the start where he droped it a gear and just power by all those cars leaving him an first place for a long battle very nice driving

[@LAutoRustino]

Vidéo magnifique, la voiture au top et le bruit j'adore 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏👏👏👏👏

[@dannyhyde7019]

Beautiful stuff a C2 and C3 slugging it out on the track. Great driving skills those were some ROWDY Machines back in the day.

[@owenp5425]

a handful through the turns but man she flies on the straights!

[@raypettit74]

There is nothing like an American V8 howling in anger. Love the squirt out of the corners, bye Mustang!

[@ooohhenrybmblm]

It was catching up in the corners and slow sections but yeah, it’s exhilarating to see it disappear from the rear view mirror.

[@johnstroud7244]

SWEET MUSIC TO THE EARS

[@joeinmi8671]

1:30 best sound ever .

[@lllllRBlllll]

wow that thing looks like a handful!

[@396M21]

Great cardio for me,thanks!

[@mckinney3153]

What kinda rpms is that 427 turning what a beast

[@GeneralLee131]

Sounds like he's touching 8 grand when winding it up to pass the whole field.

[@pauloacedo7461]

Incredible crazy car

[@427Nut]

Man that's a torque monster

[@indyme2]

Freaking awesome!

[@vlum1]

So awesome! Peculiar left arm though... bad shoulder or just habit? Going on Assetto Corsa right now!

[@yigitalpalakoc]

that l88 may be a handful and all but hes got some big hands for sure

[@AlAndrews]

That is awesome driving car sounds great

[@markeyhendrix]

That things a handful, and a monster 👏💀👏 seems quite stable though

[@antonispetrou4472]

Come on..... I press the brake myself under the table in most of the corners!!!!!!!! Wow!!! Adrenaline pumped up....

[@danielkohler3458]

I had no idea those C2's were that wide! Hahahaha

[@arashramezani8535]

Sweet sound! V8 Chevy baby!

[@roddymacdonald945]

Great job with that Monster

[@bruces3613]

My father had a split window 427 and one Sunday on the Santa Monica freeway some guy in a Datsun Z tried messing with him. That Z went backwards past my window like the one here.

[@chrisfinamore6364]

Wow that was 👌

[@judges69]

Great car control and without Janie electronics

[@Pod6168]

No better example of a car with more power than grip. Need to get car turned and pointing straight, be less greedy with throttle.

[@spdygon2766]

Darn...Hand full

[@jkheslekrants]

Heaven!

[@chrismay1a]

why end it you just got first now theres no one holding you back. thanks for the upload

[@jasonjordan4672]

What gear box is this monster running ?

[@AlpinaBiturbo346]

no heel and toe,, possible in these cars ?

[@540chevhell9]

Awesome. Why no side windows on the car??

[@bam_henry]

Probably because of the long rearview mirror above the windshield.

[@540chevhell9]

@@bam_henry I said side windows... not side mirrors!

[@davidkeeton6716]

Must be a class rules thing. None of them have side windows. Historic rules include different things than modern class rules.

[@theregoesmiller389]

she looks like a handful ! maaaan does she pull on the straights though !

[@RebekahsZ]

I wonder what rear gear he was running-3rd gear on all but the back straight!

[@danielkohler3458]

Was thinking the same. 3.55?

[@neilvaughan5425]

3.73 and revs to around 8k 1.2-1 on 3rd in the trans.

[@johnwyatt473]

This guy. This one hear is a big ole.hairy Knuckle dragging American bad ass this one right hear

[@a.k.a.A.E.1]

the 67 one is not bad !!

[@ouimetco]

Did you see him literally leave every other car behind at 1:30. Wicked

[@gone547]

I'm amused by all the 'handful' comments. Stays with everthing in the corners and blow them into the weeds everywhere else. The only wheelwork comes from trying to tame the massive torque generated by the 427. A properly setup L88 is a killer, both on the dragstrip and on the track.

[@joesmith306]

You're lucky to get around the track let alone win.

[@stefanoberndorfer1771]

Very fast, car is faster then the driver.

[@shanel5454]

good ol American grunt

[@TheVooDooReverend]

That C2 gave you a hard run

[@sraldiris]

You misspelled "blocked you like his life depended on it".

[@matrox]

As usual American cars lead the pack.

[@EL-FUKKO]

Handful

[@tonysoprano406]

run likea van

[@viperfanacr]

Am I the only one with an issue of him 1 handing the car around the track?

[@racer111259]

yes....

[@HouseofTaint]

Kickstart motorcycles are scary, too

[@axlegrind4212]

beef with his jerky

[@henrikolsen6534]

sounds great, but car is ALL OVER the track...

[@dennisyoung4631]

[@davidkeeton6716]

Bias ply tires. They move around more, but break loose more predictably and are preferred by some, also some class rules say you have to run them. Another thing, he is driving the car to its limits, that's the way you get past the whole field.

[@misplaced80sguy59]

Nothing vintage about these cars.
