The super high-end cars are pretty to look at, but i much prefer the ‘garage’ built cars. This Camaro is another one in my top 10 cars you’ve featured. So....that makes about 30 cars in my top 10 🤣😂

[@dreyn7780]

Wrong. Without the influence of the brands you wouldn't have any ideas. They do all the hard work and you use them to day dream.

[@RipRider916]

But what rear end do you use with that 4L80 and 3000 stall. It’s got to be geared relatively low to burn like that. Is it 4.11’s. I think. I missed where you said.

[@xr8rick]

Dryen what are you trying to say? I’m not wrong, I’m simply giving my opinion. You might be different, but i don’t need to draw inspiration from a $500K show car to know what i like and how I’d like to build my car.

[@AREALAMERICAN]

That's funny because most of the time I can set down a name on my top 10 favorite cars but then when you start seeing beautiful artwork like full artwork like this then I'm like you I have about 30 or 40 in my top 10

[@luceatlux7087]

the American garage built cars feel more rugged and basic (well-known) to me. like, you know if something is wrong or goes wrong, the fix is going to be relatively easy and simple, readily available. so I tend to drive it with that understanding. Sometimes a bit less precision engineering and cheaper parts makes sense. my friend has a mid tier BMW and it costs him thousands for small repairs and you have to worry about who's working on it, etc. so he tends to drive with a giant stick up his butt. no one's driving his car, ever. I think he would refuse to let someone else drive it if his life was in real danger...

[@oldfriend327]

You said you wanted to hear from us. All I can say is this. I like that car so much and especially with the combo of the supercharger, automatic transmission, hideaway headlights, and various modern upgrades that if given the choice between that car and a spaceship, I would choose that car no joke. Those springs in the suspension and disc brakes too look like they are really well made.

[@craigm2484]

I was falling asleep from a long ass day of work and hit the button to hear this Beast shreading tires Im awake now !! Sick car ..Dig it .

[@AutotopiaLA]

Glad we woke you up!! It was a fun shoot for sure. Great people and great build!

[@christophwilhelm6431]

The EFI, exhaust sound, visible rear shocks.. The huge radiator, custom color, rims.. Flogg that frog!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Yessir!!

[@anhiirr]

the tires too they never tell a lie

[@RipRider916]

That frog is tight though

[@dreyn7780]

What sound? The apple mac version or the PS5 headphone sound version or the home theatre version or what? What sound did you hear? Do you even have a subwoofer?

[@johnmargaritis9549]

Bad ass ride and the owner rides it and not scared to drive it love the color ,

[@777mello]

Clean AF. I'm glad you show realistic builds..this is possible for a normal working dude to build..what sets you apart👍🏾

[@AutotopiaLA]

Glad you like it. We like to show a variety from the garage to the big $$ builds. We simply shoot what we think is cool and this is definitely cool af!

[@awokeone7997]

If you're making over $100k a yr you can build this car. Nothing cheap with the parts they used in this build and every lil bit adds up quick!

[@iansharpe8420]

That dash is rad. Talked to the owner the first time he went to QC, super great guy. Although not what I would personally do, I love this car, it's the perfect show/driver car.

[@dreyn7780]

Wrong, wrong and wrong. There's No time to correct all your faults.

[@Stingingcookie4]

Did he say "LS3, 6.0 iron block" or am I hearing things? lol an LS3 is an aluminum block and a 6.2L...

[@johnniie12345]

just the comment i was looking for lmaoooo

[@darkchild130]

I’m glad someone said it

[@Gadsden-rn2wl]

Yeah I’m hella confused, yall think its actually a ls3 or is it a 6.0?

[@kitvexed8229]

the owner is probably my favorite owner of ANY autotopia video i've ever seen - this guy is having fun!

[@VuTube96]

You can tell Shawn drives the car with respect to the owner... barely goes past 50% throttle and never breaks traction. Love the courtesy!

[@jsm42050]

That color for some reason reminds me of a old military keep that is put in a museum.

[@Daniel-yb3hn]

Something about that color man she built beautifully

[@ssnova3210]

Just come back from a nice 15k run, got a spare 20 mins and BOOM another great video! What a start to the day. Yet another cool car.

[@rajnbull]

I am very happy for you Shawn. your channel has exploded in the past year. love the color, not the year. Stay Gold. I'm Audi 5000

[@AutotopiaLA]

Thanks! We keep working and growing it thanks to you and the other folks that watch what we do. Much appreciated

[@donricolife1861]

The color the power sick. 🏆

[@erniearambula3525]

You know this build cost bucks so when a owner is not afraid to put the hammer down gotta give that man props.

[@noampitlik2332]

I like the "dip a chip in it."

[@rooster7658]

Now that is a driving man's car

[@ZEPRATGERNODT]

This car sits better than most I’ve seen and it’s not Mickey Moused or over the top. This thing is proper!

[@AutotopiaLA]

Yes, stance is perfect and it’s a driver all the way

[@ridetechtv]

Enjoy the ride!

[@AutotopiaLA]

He does all the time!

[@cacapone5]

Im gone be on here one day with a murdered ass 68 charger watch

[@1lifeasis]

Do it! You got this bro 😎

[@alvinhayes2143]

Beyond amazed by the work put into build this car.

[@AutotopiaLA]

Me too and still in progress so you know it’ll keep getting better

[@bumbay5897]

Its screaming i wanna go baby go...nice machine🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@fuel_magazine]

Absolutely love this car and the fact that the owner drives the hell out of it and enjoys every second of it!!!

[@weekendwarrior556]

Thing sounds pissed off...love it

[@AutotopiaLA]

Me too! Especially that side exit

[@400hpmustang]

Great stance, awesome wheels, hell of a build!

[@mattmckane466]

I wish parts would just start showing up for my camaro too

[@jameshutchins3396]

Drive it like you stole it personified! Love it!

[@Nicefoolkilla]

Best paint job I've ever seen!

[@dave5833]

Thanks for another great video, our 57 Chevy BelAir puts down 950 Ponies to the rear wheels defunded to 625. More manageable. Have a great day and Weekend

[@grantfinley2672]

As always another great video and car , the wheels and the rear end for me are what stands out and the details on those door handles dope

[@melvinburwell8202]

Beautiful. Just the way you want your 1st gen camaro to look. Not too many body mods. Just clean.🌶🤩😛😜

[@paulm6481]

What a classy build. Taste and class, beautiful. That is a grown man ride.

[@Ericuribe09]

One of my favorite episodes!! Great car seems fun!

[@brucefoster1215]

I like that color it's subtle but the exhaust makes up for that.

[@C.S.86]

I'm not a chevy guy. Except the 68 camaro. This build is really cool and this is one of the best chevy sounds so far. Thanx.

[@dreyn7780]

Men don't listen to men anymore.

[@yamahaxs6501]

what an insane build! color is on point!

[@generalsixty2133]

cool color and the stance is dialed in. Love the 68 grill.

[@dreyn7780]

You don't love the grill cause it was painted to disappear. It was painted to have NO appearance in the image.

[@premsaimarella5616]

Now this is what I call the real camaro🤘🤘🤘🤘

[@keithpetersen560]

What a great looking car, that you can drive and beat. Everybody should own a car like that. Great review.

[@XCVi_MAC]

I love this page. Great content y’all.

[@aaronflores9325]

Cool AF Shawn. Your videos keep getting better and better. Keep up the good work man!

[@dreyn7780]

Wrong.

[@RandyJM21]

Front end is beautiful . Radically understated . Clean design all around . I do prefer analog gauge's but that's just preference and it's very cool for what it is . Having a ruptured kneck disc from accident not of making the seats scare me .

[@richardwarfield7386]

certified hide roaster ! luv the green

[@AutotopiaLA]

Love this build!

[@ryanmatchett6481]

Gotta get me a v3 like this. I really like the clean set up. Great review!!

Wow that Dash!!!! So cool. Also I will join you with a bag of chips, that color is so rad! Love this one a lot Shawn. Well done gents!

[@dalkaklaric7199]

Awesome build love the colour, the front end needs a bumper lower valance

[@spike7038]

Absolute killer....the colour. Would have worked just as well in matt.....doesn’t get much better than this

[@Bossgto-vy3re]

The car is a beast hands down lol .

[@markkushba5960]

Really awesome ride and I love that dash. Very cool.

[@ianreed4636]

The color looks fantastic on the Camaro !!!

[@jerryrice2752]

these 1st gen camaros never stop popping up like jack in the boxes! lol

[@dreyn7780]

Its the image of cheap and safety features. A roof is safety protection. Glass is also safety protection. They're nicely protected inside that car.

[@dickymillwisdom]

Very nice ride, my 68 is getting closer to that. The vids are inspiring. Keep them coming. Cheers.

[@ethankc2864]

Very cool ride. Bet she's super fun to get out on the road. Love your content as always Shawn.

[@gordythecreator]

Hellyeah! Lettur...RiPP!!.. parking lot sharpie

[@AutotopiaLA]

Loved that he drives it hard!

[@trashbandit2449]

Interesting color, surprisingly I like it. LS3 iron 6.0? LS3 was an aluminum 6.2. Probably an LQ4 or LQ9. Wish the front of the car was a little more complete. Almost seems like it's missing parts, lots of gaps. Maybe a dark intercooler? Overall amazing car

[@AutotopiaLA]

I was surprised that I like the color as well but I do

[@Cerakotesocal]

It’s an LQ9, mistake made due to camera anxiety.

[@trashbandit2449]

@@Cerakotesocal no worries, figured it was a little slip up because you seemed very knowledgeable. Thanks for sharing it

[@brenwitdac1087]

@@Cerakotesocal you have the part number for your exhaust? I’d really appreciate it if you see this and could tell me. I’m building a 6.2 going in a c10. This sound is perfect

[@quitmanwhitsey6320]

Really nice and definitely detail build.

[@540chevhell9]

I've said it before and I'll say it again ... CA and in particular LA seems to lead the pack in producing the most innovative muscle/hot rods

[@AutotopiaLA]

I agree but don’t rule out those boys in the Midwest at all

[@Panthercholo]

Hey hey hey, don't forget about us Bay Area folk!

[@Marcus_Woodard]

Come down to Texas.

[@540chevhell9]

@@AutotopiaLA fair enough and I’m definitely speaking in very broad terms but I can’t help but be blown away by the edgyness and innovation of the CA-wide cars and LA in particular! No disrespect to others intended!!!

[@540chevhell9]

@@Marcus_Woodard wish I could!! I know there’s awesome stuff down there and in particular a tradition of extremely fast street cars. I mean no offence it just appears that LA has a super creative streak there.

[@sladeb6036]

Sweet car and it did look really smooth over the bumps.

[@dreyn7780]

They're nicely protected inside that car. They won't have to worry about sunscreen or hair pieces blowing of in the wind. They're nice and safe inside that weather protection features.

[@J2A61]

Beautiful car I think the inter cooler should be blacked out too

[@AutotopiaLA]

They’re still in progress on a lot of this car

[@pinotgrizio3567]

I’m picky with my greens but that one gets a thumbs up. I’m sure if you parked it next to a sour cream colored car somebody would make a chip comment lol

[@guidosarducci3047]

Damn....What a beast! One of the nicest Camaro's l've seen in a long time.

[@dreyn7780]

The beast with wind screen protection and head protection from a roof. Why are you scared of a bit of wind and sunlight?

[@jose_s_bam7938]

Car is sick. Love the stance, wheels, color. Wish it had some front lights though.

[@dreyn7780]

Bacteria is smarter, shawn.

He was so cool. Both the owner David and the builder Marquis are really great guys and built a badass Camaro!

[@jleon682]

Beautiful build. Would've liked to see the exhaust tucked a little more if possible but clean car. Love the content

[@dreyn7780]

Why even bother to screen out the wind in that thing. What's with the sun screen roof? Can't you wear a hat or a helmet?

[@buckreynolds1779]

color pops

[@MrMander87]

Love the sound of the engine! Great looking car!

[@dreyn7780]

And what TV made the sound? Soundbar? Home theatre? Dolby atmos? What? You must think we're all stupid. What version of the car did you see? The Samsung colour version? The apple mac version? Everyone's got a different screen image and sound reproduction. I've got realistic colour, vivid colour, boosted colour, enhanced colour, cinema colour, Dolby digital colour etc. Etc. . So what colour are you talking about? My TV does 50 colours and 50 sounds of the 1 colour and 1 sound. I've got regular subwoofering version and low volume subwoofering and enhanced sound and ultra enhanced sound and on and on it goes. So what is the sound you love? Is it the BOSE soundbar version 5000 or the PS5 headphone sound or what? Nobody in 2021 knows what you're talking about anymore.
